Fast service and big portions!! I was craving a dosa after not having had it in a while and almost wanted my own, but ended up deciding to share with my husband. We also got an order of 2 idli and an order of the onion samosas as well. The orders came very quick, with the idli and the medley of chutneys and sambar (lentil soup). We really liked the peanut-y chutney! The vegetable masala dosa was huge - I think their dosa portions are big and very worth the money- the filling was just uneven but it was an easy fix. You could opt to have the filling on the side (which is awesome!). I liked the onion samosas, although it seemed like it was just wrapped in wonton wrappers and deep fried, but the flavor was delicious and it was only $2.99 for 3 pieces. We ordered via a kiosk, received a buzzer once our order was placed, water was self-serve, and the food came out one at a time (so our buzzer beeped 3 times). The restaurant itself was nice and pleasant, and it was a beautiful and delicious way to spend our afternoon!
Good Food, plenty of seating, nice music playlist! Good Service from the Bajis! Sat Sri Akaal! Ji
This is an amazing Indian restaurant that serves dosas, idlis, and vada. We have been here twice and we absolutely love the food. Both the times we got their paneer dosa, which is absolutely delicious. And we got idlis, which are really soft and vadas, which are really nice and crispy. Overall, the food is so amazing that everything tastes good, sambhar tastes amazing and the chutneys are delicious. Overall great food. The place is nice and clean and the spot does get filled up quickly during peak hours. You usually order at the kiosk, they give you a buzzer and you pick up the food when the buzzer rings. The staff is nice and friendly. I am glad that we have a nice spot to get some good south Indian food here in Milpitas area.
My new Dosa place! Small self serve vegetarian restaurant. You place your order on the kiosk grab a number and sit for buzzer to light up. I got the ghee dosa today and it was huge as long as my arm and nice and crispy. I didn't realize it didn't come with the potato masala filling so had to order that on the side and loved it! I liked that it wasn't overly spiced. I also got the Onion samosa it was ok. To wash everything down I got the masala tea. Not sure if it was already sweetened or they added sugar for me. It was too sweet for me to drink. That was my only complaint.
So lucky I ended up here this evening. Was feeling like having some dosa and from the slew of options - we landed on this one. Absolutely delicious and fairly priced. Onion masala dosa: 4.5/5 - the potatoes could use a bit more seasoning but the dosa itself was very nicely cooked. Ghee cone dosa: 5/5 - so crunchy and such a nice texture overall. Sambhar was very nice as well. Not too spicy but still a nice flavor. The chutneys were solid as well. Nool parotta: 4/5 - the crispy flaky texture was nice but it would be better if it was slightly less dry. The Salna it comes with is definitely punchy but doesn't go over the top. Thanks for a great meal!
Was here for a chore and decided to try them. Ordered variety of dosa and they are just okay. Got a coffee and a Masala tea. Both are watered down. Podi Benne dosa was so crisp that i would never order it again. Such a bummer that can't live up to their business name.
We were intrigued by the live parotta station at this place. So we want try it when we were in the area. Sorry forgot take pictures of the Parotta and the station. But u have them in other reviews. This is next coconut hill Indian grocery store with love Parotta station in front. Small restaurant and Parotta takes quite some time to get it as every one orders them. You need order, pay up and wait at the table with buzzer which will alert when order is ready. Ambiance is buzzy and not tidy as the cleanup is not frequent. Since parotta will take time we ordered Davanagere Benne Dose, a popular dosa variant originating in the city of Davanagere in North Karnataka. Davanagere Benne Dose is known for generous dosage of butter used on the dosa. Also the composition of the batter is different than the normal dosa as they add poha (rolled rice) to prepare the batter. They are usually thick dosa with crispy exterior ours was not crispy but soft accompanied with 3 chutney, coconut, ginger and tomato. Avoid the tomato the red chutney it will ruin your taste buds, ginger was ok. Coconut chutney was great!, and so was the masala inside dosa tasted little sour. Sambar was decent too. Parotta there were several choices we went with bun parotta, but when received it was like normal parotta may be tad thicker. Bun parotta are really thick and takes long time to cook, may be they are shortcutting the process but lost authenticity and Salna that needs to accompain parotta was not tasting like one, it was like mashup of korma and sambar.
Really wanted to like the place but somehow the flavors just didn't hit. Nothing was wrong per se- just lacked the flavours I'm used to! Very nice setting for the restaurant with ample parking! You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer to come grab your food when it's ready.
Everything was made pretty fresh. And cashier last was very nice. Nellore Karam Idli was disappointing because it wasn't spicy enough and i thought it'd be crispier. But perhaps i don't have right expectations.
This place is an underrated gem!!! Food here is really good and good priced for the portions We got one benne podi dosa and two orders of parotta. The dosa came w 3 chutneys and sambar and the parotta came w some chettinad tasting curry. Parotta was very flaky and fresh and delicious and the dosa was also hot and crispy. Both are definitely oily (dosa was served with a slab of butter on top) but not in a bad way it was still delicious! I got a masala chai - too much cardamom for my taste but my sister liked it. We got the rose milk too which was very good as well. This place is a seat yourself so it does get crowded and you have to get lucky to get a table but still worth the wait!
We had dinner here on a busy Friday night. It took about 25 minutes for our food to arrive after we ordered. The Davangere benne dosa and Medu Vada were great, but the Nellore karam idly was underwhelming. Chutneys and sambar were good. However, the table we were seated at was not clean, and the area for disposing of used plates was dirty.
Went for a dinner on a weekend evening, and it was a decent crowd. We were aiming to be there by 7ish because we had heard that the live parota stops/gets over around 8pm. Our first visit, and everything was decent! Parota salna was good, my husband's fav. Kids loved the corn and cheese oothapams. Kara dosa was perfectly spiced. All good except benne dosa, because that was not what I expected hahaha. I expected a Bangalore style benne dosa, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. But instead of we got a dosa with a huge blob of benne on top hahaha. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it. It still tasted fine. But just not what an actual benne dosa is supposed to be. I wish they had a open hand washing station available. The only one is inside the restroom, and we have to wait so long for people using the restroom to come out, just to wash hands! Of course this won't be an issue in non-indian restaurants. But considering how almost everyone here eats parota and dosa with hands, it would make sense to have a sink outside. Overall, not bad at all! Will return occasionally for a quick parota fix.
Great South Indian tiffin place next to coconut hill in Milpitas. Absolutely LOVED their chutneys, especially coconut and peanut ones. Very fresh and tasty. We tried their bun parotta, benne podi dosai, coconut jaggery dosai, curry leaf idly & everything tasted great. The coconut jaggery dosa is basically kozhukattai poornam inside a dosai which I enjoyed SO much (it's hard to get boli here) The benne dosai was too oily for me, I literally had to squeeze out each piece before putting it in my mouth. I would still order it but maybe put in a word to not use so much butter haha! The parotta was fantastic - fresh and crispy. I cannot stress how delicious their sambar and chutneys are - we took home the leftovers. It's a small, clean, self-service place with decent seating and very cheerful and welcoming staff. Will be back to taste more from their menu :)
Reviews are largely positive. People praise the authentic dosas, fresh idli and vada, and friendly and helpful staff. The space is also noted for its clean and modern ambiance.

Masala Dosa is now the place I go when I'm craving tasty dosas in south bay. They know what they're doing and we've had all good experiences eating in here. Inside is clean and contemporary and the service is nice too. We tried the parotta although it was not as memorable as the dosas, I liked the sambar. We shared an onion masala dosa and went back for a kids ghee cone dosa because we still wanted to snack some more. Bottom line - any of their dosas would be a great choice! read more

**USP: South Indian tiffin items located right next to an Indian grocery store. **AMBIANCE: looks like they recently renovated. Style is contemporary with a lot of new trends like fluted wood panels, faux branches, faux grass wall etc. Place hasn't been maintained well though. Tables are not cleaned up immediately after customers leave and the restroom wasn't great either. **FOOD: they were out of several menu options. Though we ordered some items, we were told later that they were not available and offered to swap with samosas which we agreed to. We only got to try their dosas and samosas. The dosa, chutney and sambar were pretty decent and served piping hot, not issues there. The problem were the samosas, the first batch served to us were burnt so I asked them to replace it. The replacements weren't great either. The samosa cover had these tiny bubbles which trapped oil, so eating these samosas felt painfully oily and upset the tummy. Needless to say these are not made in house. I assume they purchase some frozen batch and fry them, best to avoid. read more

This place is the best!!!! We went for the happy hour deal and it was so worth the price :D 7$ for two people is such a steal. We were also debating between getting the mango lassi or trying the rose milk but instead we got two mango lassis and the we got to try the Rose Milk for free because the worker was so kind :) 1000/10! I wish i lived closer so i could come weekly :] read more

Dosas are so yummy and this place is no exception. How can you do no to a thin crispy, crepe? I came for lunch and ordered a masala dosa to take home and eat. This one is filled with potatoes and peas and is usually my go to dosa. The dosa was still good but lost some of it's crispiness by the time I got home. I'd definitely recommend eating this at the restaurant versus taking it home to eat so that the dosa stays crispy. The restaurant itself was clean and the staff were friendly. read more

I've eaten here a few times, mostly for dinner. Today we came for lunch . I'm not a big conisour of Indian food, but this place is always crowded at night and today there was a decent crowd. So the food must really be good. I usually get a dosa. Today we both got a malsala dosa. This is like eating comfort food.a soft buttery , crispy dosa filled with potatoes and seasoning. Also 3 different curries. This is a self serve restaurant,you go order and then you go pick up when it's ready. Signs ask you to bus tour own table,but some people don't. read more

We came here for happy hour on a weekday and was able to grab a tray. This is a self service style restaurant. The dosa was really crisp and Idli Vada was fresh. The sambhar was a bit watery but chutneys made up for it. Overall great experience and we hope they don't stop the daily happy hour for a quick dinner stop after work. read more
I've tried going here for bun porotta twice only to realize I'm a little too late, and they have run out of it :( So, in case anyone wants porotta specifically, its better to go there early! Its a small joint, the service is fast. I ordered the Kodaikanal Poondu Dosa(Garlic) and it was amazing! Loved the cutneys and sambar also. Will definitely be going back! read more

We have been to masala dosa twice. The live parotta station was attractive and pulled us in. Both of the times we visited, food came out quick, people were very friendly. It's self service but no hassle at all. We've had goli soda, multiple dosas, veech parotta, bun parotta, lids dosa, idli over the two visits. My hands down favorite is the kodaikanal poondu dosa. Golden in color, perfectly crispy and extremely delicious shaved garlic! We enjoyed everything here and look forward to coming back again. read more
