    Uttapam Tacos

    Amazing selection of veg options. This specific review is for their Canteen Sandwiches. They may take longer but are quite worth the wait.

    No complaints about this place. Came in and was able to order quickly. my friend tried a chicken dosa and I tried a pesarattu with mixed veggies - which I haven't tried before. They were kind enough to give me a side of raita without charging, since I like yogurt on everything. My pesarattu took a little while to come out so there was a delay between the two dishes, but the quality was quite good! It was tasty and nicely spiced and the sambar was pretty good as well. I felt like the chutneys were a little oilier than they needed to be, but that's a minor complaint. I would come back if I was in the area!

    Lamb dosa taking this photo was a struggle this was a messy meal

    Wouldn't go back, food quality was low frankly. The flavors were not quite there but can't really put my finger on it. Servers were very lovely though, felt like a home in there. The ambiance was ok for a fast casual restaurant but didn't match the price they were charging. Got the lamb dosa and it came out to around 18 dollars which I would've rather spent elsewhere.

    Stopped that this restaurant for a quick meal. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked into a cute restaurant! I was greeted and I ordered a few dishes. I ordered: Lamb dosa pulao channa masala canteen sandwich with chicken gulab jamun The food came out fairly quickly. Loved the canteen sandwich the most! The dosa was ok. The food was good all in all.

    The Traditional Masala Dosa had that perfect, signature crunch, and the potato filling was subtle yet satisfying. The Chicken & Cheese Dosa--who would've thought? The minced chicken was packed with bold flavors, and the melted cheese complemented it beautifully. The Lamb Pulao was an ideal blend of spices, rich and aromatic. The Dahi Puri was an explosion of flavors! Crispy puris loaded with creamy dahi, chaat masala, pomegranate, sev, and chutneys--every bite was a delight. The Paneer Canteen Sandwich was buttery, crispy, and oh-so-satisfying. The Idli Fries and Nutella Dosa were such creative takes on traditional dishes--so fun and delicious, you'd never know they were classics! And finally, the Masala Chai--absolute PERFECTION! Service is quick and food is served hot. The place is very cute and located on a very busy street.

    We had a delicious lamb dosa here. Clean interior and friendly service. Huge portions. Go there!

    Madras Dosa is a casual dine-in and take out eatery in Princeton serving a variety of dosas (Indian fermented lentil crepes) as well as other South Indian lentil based delicacies such as uttapam and pesarattu. They have a long list of unique dosa fillings including paneer, onion, eggs, Indian flavored lays chips, crushed samosas, and even meat fillings such as lamb, chicken, and beef and sweet fillings such as Nutella and strawberry jam. The items are prepared by the efficient staff known as "dosa jockeys" in an open kitchen with limited seating available. The dosas are delicious with golden crispy edges and tender warm filling. The canteen sandwiches are particularly unique and delicious consisting of three slices of bread with one in the middle toasted with melted chili cheese, shallots, and cheddar. It takes 25 minutes to prepare. We washed it down with sweet lime soda, an Indian concoction that is hard to find outside of India consisting of lime soda, cumin powder, rock salt, lime slices, and mint leaves.

    The Bent Spoon in Princeton is such a fun spot for ice cream! They have so many different flavors,…read moreincluding both classic favorites and more unique options, so it's definitely hard to choose. I got the cookies and cream and milk chocolate ice cream, and both were delicious. We also tried the vanilla and raspberry sorbet, which were creamy, refreshing, and had great flavor. I love that they have both ice cream and sorbet options, so there's something for everyone. Another thing I really liked is that each cup comes with two scoops, so you can easily mix and match flavors without having to commit to just one. It's perfect if you're indecisive like me and want to try a couple of flavors! Everything we tried was delicious, and the variety of flavors makes this a place I'd definitely come back to. If you're in Princeton and looking for a sweet treat, The Bent Spoon is definitely worth a stop!

They do let you sample flavors. The ice cream was delicious, my only regret was not tasting more flavors! You can get 2 flavors in your order. So many too choose from, it's a hard call. When we arrived the line was down the block and my kid didn't want to wait but the line moved rather quickly (they have a good process in place) keeping things moving! Cute cozy little ice cream shop serving high quality ice cream. If you are an ice cream lover and like original out of the box creations don't sleep on this spot!

The host was really nice to me and let me set wherever I wanted since I went during the middle of the day on a working day. The interior has a very instagramable vibe. The food met my expectations as I got the layered mango crepe and the chicken Santa Fe rolls. The mango crepes were light and exactly what I expected. The chicken rolls were packed in flavor but the chicken was almost no where to be found. I would recommend this place.

Normally we're supposed to order using the QR code on the table and we would select from a pre-set list, but because we had such a complicated order, we needed to order in person and the waitress was super patient with us. We were also able to order teas we normally wouldn't have been able to using the QR code (not all the teas in the menu are available for selection for afternoon tea for some reason). Sandwiches were all delicious, scone was very nice as well. I wasn't a huge fan of their crepe cakes or macarons - very sweet without being able to tell what the flavors were. Mango smoothie and mini chocolate croissant were good though. Decor inside was simple but looks elegant, nice ambiance and appropriate for tea time!

Overall pleasant. I actually preferred the chocolate one, though- the chocolate filling was dark and rich, and there was a good amount of it inside the croissant. The croissant dough had layers, although it seems like they had somewhat collapsed- it might be because I ate them some time after they had been baked, but unsure. It did not feel condensed or too chewy, though. I wasn't the one who ordered them, so can't speak much about the service. I have passed by the storefront before, and it looks small, more of a takeout vibe than a sit down and chat cafe.

Your nose smells all those freshly baked goods. Your eyes dance with delight as you see brownies, cookies, and drinks (psst, they serve more than just milk). Ohhhh the smells of all that wonderful goodness! You can hear the patron's joy as they bite into their edibles. Finally, the taste as you bite into your cookie or brownie. After our senses finally calmed down, Hubby and I got down to business. After purchasing and sharing several cookies and brownies between us, we both favored their original brownies the most. It was not overly sweet and tasted like Devil's Food cake but in a brownie, instead. Delectable! Each cookie is $2.75 but if you purchase 12 cookies, you save $3 and pay $30. The Big Brownie is $4.50 and worth every penny! The shop is cozy and takes you back in a time to be in one of those wonderful sitcom kitchens where you expect a mom to come out and just treat you with warm baked cookies after a hard day. No need to have a hard day to get these yummies. It is on the main strip on Nassau Street. They have bistro tables for you to stay and enjoy or you can take them to go.
