    Our first time here on their Dosa Nights on Thursdays. It was a fairly busy night for them even though it was a weekday. The owner was very welcoming and got us seated right away at a table for 2. Initially, we were hesitant about the unlimited dosa option since it might be too much for one person, but the owner promised us we wouldn't regret it and we'd definitely love it. The promise was kept, and we walked out happy and full. Coming to the dosa night options themselves, it included pongal, one idli, 3 types of chutneys, vada, sambar, rasam, and rava kesari along with six types of dosas that we could order unlimited: Karam dosa, Masala dosa, Onion dosa, Mysore Masala dosa, Plain dosa, and Podi dosa. Chutneys and podi with ghee were also served as requested. I tried Karam dosa and Onion dosa. I just devoured Karam dosa as soon as it appeared on my plate. I may be picky about vada, I didn't fully finish it since it's oily for me, but everything else tasted so good, and this dinner definitely took me back to India for a couple of hours. Surely coming back to their other dishes. Keep it up, Madurai Kitchen!

    We tasted the fried rice and the taste was not up to the mark . The service was good but the North Indian dishes are not the best.

Then Urbane Cafe appeared with Fish Dish that I swished and wished. I got the bowl and sandwich. This fish was cooked so well and the ingredients of the bowl worked together perfectly. There was rice, greens, and a few extras. My fish was topped off with tartar sauce and I could have inhaled the whole thing. The sandwich was similar except it was on Ciabatta bread, or similar. My daughter ate all of that and she is as picky as they come. It was her birthday and the cashier was so sweet to her. The customer service was so good that we are already planning our return visit.

    What an interesting offering of British dishes and tea in the middle of Sorrento Valley. Thankfully…read morethe food was adequate to match the dainty decor. Despite the restaurant being covered by one server, he provided excellent service. The food took a bit longer to come out while the drinks arrived swiftly. *Berry Bramble: a well balanced sweet and tart cocktail with a classic bright and citrusy profile. *London Fog: similarly sweet with a strong strawberry lemonade profile. It had the most majestic presentation, with our server placing a fog filled bubble at the table. *Hot Honey Chicken Scone: there was a subtle spice with a heavy honey coating. The scone was rather dense but had a delicious buttery and cheesy flavor. Our server rightfully described the portion size as being on the smaller side, so I would order two if choosing this as an entree. *Fish & Chips: came with a single piece of fried fish, French fries, mushy peas, and a variety of condiments. I wished it were a bigger portion given the nearly $29 price tag. The fried fish had a sweet, light batter. The fries were rather starchy and needed a longer fry for a better crisp. The mushy peas were surprisingly well seasoned and paired nicely with the mild fish. The curry ketchup and chutney were rich and perfect condiments. The pearl onions were rather dense and difficult to eat. *Sticky Toffee and Date Cake: a stellar, indulgent dessert. The salted caramel ice cream offset the sweetness of the cake. The cake had a fudgy texture and the smothering of toffee gave it a sweet smokiness. Despite coming during happy hour, I found the prices to be a bit steep for the portion sizes. However, the flavors were tasty across the board, so I could see returning for a more celebratory occasion.

The restaurant itself is decorated so cute I love the big sliding doors, they have outside games in the grass area. The service is great and attentive. Managers checking in as well. Some of the food items are delicious such as the meat pies and the scones. The truffle chips have good truffle essence and are crisp. The sticky toffee pudding is delicious. Sour: I was pretty disappointed in the afternoon tea option. The assortment was not that appealing especially for the price - $45 pp. The hostess on the phone also misinterpreted the price and items including the price. She quoted the higher price and started hot chicken sliders were included. That was an extra fee. My favorite was only the scones. The dessert options were good a little sweet. You get 3 small desserts. The sandwiches they offer 2 types and they weren't great especially the chicken pesto. It was pretty dry. Overall it's a fun place to celebrate like we did or just a fun night with girlfriends. They do have a HH that I'd like to try next time.

We were visiting San Diego from the Bay Area and planning to head to the San Diego Zoo from our hotel. We wanted to grab a good meal before entering the zoo and found Dosa Studio on Google -- it was a small detour and absolutely worth it. We went on a Saturday and they had a brunch buffet from 11 AM to 2 PM. We were pleasantly surprised by the wide spread of dishes covering both North and South Indian cuisine, along with tea included. The pricing was very reasonable -- if I remember correctly, it was around $10 for kids under 12 and about $18 for adults, which felt like a great deal for the variety offered. We were a bit rushed that day and had to eat quickly and leave. On our way out, we noticed they had just started a samosa chaat counter that was part of the buffet -- which we unfortunately missed! We ended up coming back the next day to enjoy the buffet in a more relaxed way. This time, we finally got to try the samosa chaat we had missed the day before, and it did not disappoint. Since San Diego was new to us, this restaurant became our go-to spot for the weekend -- and it happened to be the last day of the brunch buffet, so we made sure to stop by again. Hopefully they still offer this brunch buffet. If they do, it's definitely a great value for the price. Even if a few dishes aren't to your taste, there's enough variety to fill up on what you love.

The dish was very bland, and even the chutney lacked the spice and flavor I was expecting. I also wasn't sure why the papdi was broken into tiny pieces--it felt like I got the crumbs from the bottom of the bag rather than whole pieces. I could barely taste the chickpeas or potatoes underneath all the sauces, which ended up overpowering the dish without adding much flavor.

While the ingredients are familiar (tomatoes, spinach, garbanzos, collard greens, lentils, butter, meat) the preparations are delighful. Not knowing what to select, the two of us ordered the vegetarian platter for two. Mind you, we're solid carnivores, and my Marine date can eat like a horse, but this platter fed us to the top. The injera-- tangy, soft wraps served alongside, made from a tiny grain called teff, felt familiar (we kept referring to them as "Ethiopian tortillas" bc we forgot the actual name). The interior is simple. No-nonsense. Focus on food. The lady behind the counter had a kind smile and was very patient with our clueless selves. If you drive past it, you'll have to drive a ways before you can turn around. Look for the big weed store in the same parking lot. Wish this place was a bit easier to access, that's my only complaint. I went to Lucy Ethiopian restaurant the following night for comparison and prefer the fresh flavors and friendly service at Gihon. I'm definately going back.
