    If you're craving authentic Indian cuisine in Elk Grove, Mr. Dosa is an absolute must-visit. We ordered a spread, and every single dish hit the mark. The Highlights: * Lamb Vindaloo: It was bold, punchy, and perfectly spiced. * Chicken Tikka Masala: It was tender and deeply seasoned. * Butter Chicken: It was the definition of "comfort food"--velvety, rich, and savory. * Garlic Naan: You can tell it's fresh; perfectly charred. So good! * The Drinks: Don't skip the Lassis! The Mango Lassi had a great yogurt to mango ratio, and the Sweet Lassi was the perfect "cool down" for the spice. The service was impressively quick, and the staff went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. Great portions for the price--I'll definitely be back!

    I was in town for the might and decided to try Mr Dosa for dinner after checking Yelp for restaurants near me. It was a Sunday evening. The place is spacious and nice. As it was my first time at Mr Dosa, I asked for recommendations and another customer said the goat or lamb. So, I ordered a curry lamb dosa and goat biryani - medium spiced. Sook took my order. The service was friendly and attentive. I also had the mango lassi (it was good). My food was tasty but not as spicy as I like it to be (next time I will ordered it a level above medium).

    This was my first time trying Mr. Dosa and all I have to say is WOW! They are hands down the most authentic Indian cuisine I have had. The service also matched how great the food tasted, they were very cordial and smiled a lot. The ambiance was very relaxed and cozy as well. I will be coming back here 10/10!

    First time at Mr Dosa! We came with our friends and got a variety of items to try. We got the fish pakora and it was very flavorful and juicy! The fish was tender and I loved the chutney they served with it. We got the lamb tikka dosa, it's like a crepe like wrap with lamb and vegetables inside, served with three different sauces. Next time I want to try just a cheese dosa! For the mains, we got lamb vindaloo and butter chicken, both super flavorful and delicious. It went perfect with the fluffy rice! Garlic Naan was superb, so garlicky, and so fresh! This was so good and I will definitely be back !

    Came back! Had the gongura biriyani and the carrot halwa with vanilla nice cream! BY FAR THE BEST TWO ITEMS SO FAR IVE HAD. Highly recommend! The gongura biriyani tastes super authentic South Indian from the homeland. The carrot halwa with vanilla ice cream was perfect flavors and blend of sweet and cream richness. Oh mannnn ‍ Quick service and friendly. Parking right outside. Casual sit down. Could've been more fancy but I love it nonetheless.

    Here's the review from a regular customer (ME). I've been rooting for this spot since day 1. Unfortunately, they have disappointed me for the last few weeks. Two weeks in row, the biryani does not meet the standard expectation. How can someone make basmati rice sticky? Did they use jasmine rice for biryani. It wasn't separated. It was all clumped up. And the taste was horrible. And recently they gave me lamb biryani instead of chicken. They mixed up someone else's order. It's such a waste of my money. They will soon lose a valuable customer with the hiccups.

    This little hidden place in Elk grove makes me want to explore more places to eat! Went here on a weekday and tried out their garlic naan, mango lassi, sweet lassi, butter chicken, tikka masala and lamb vindaloo. Place is small and serene at the same time. Service was quick and the staff was very generous with the servings! Overall it was a very good experience! Definitely a must go place for those who likes indian food! Highly recommend this place!

    Yes, it's that good! Eaten here a number of times and we leave here with a full stomach of happiness. If hubby's tummy could talk, it will be helping me write this review. Lol What's we ordered and featured in this review! Didn't disappoint - so so good. Each item came to the table hot and fresh! Garlic Naan Butter Chicken Fish Pakora Lamb Biryani Why I didn't give it a 5 star... As I mentioned, I been here a few times and each time, we walk into a few dirty tables and it will remain dirty for awhile. I understand that restaurants get busy but it's not the best impression or pleasant to see. Yes, will still come back of course - the food is that good! Service is pleasant.

    Goat curry, dosa filled with potatoes, and chicken tikka masala. Soooo good!

    Been there twice, once for lunch and dinner tonight. Both experiences were wonderful. The food is made fresh and the server is very attentive. Although it was a packed night we got seated within 10 minutes. Lovely place for good Indian food and calm atmosphere.

    Tried this place for the first time with my sister. Ordered the butter chicken and the chicken tikka dosa. This was my first time trying dosa. It was really good but a bit salty to me and I really love salt. Dosa is a Flat Thin Layered Crepe Made from Fermented Rice and Lentil Batter. It's served with Sambar (Lentil Based Veg. Stew), Coconut & Tomato, Chutney Sauce). All the sauces were really tasty as well. Staff were friendly. Plenty of parking.

    Great food! Came here after my son finished his class at Kovar karate next door. Top quality, authentic Indian food. Love the spice and friendly service ! Would def come back again!

    I've been craving Indian food. This place is tucked behind the Walgreens on Franklin and Laguna Blvd. Walk inside and the smell draws you in. Steady stream of take out orders and families coming/going on this day. It was my first time there. The menu is extensive and the waitress took the time to make some recommendations. Settled on the chicken tikka dosa. The sauces that accompanied the dish were wonderful. I liked the tomato sauce the best. Definitely a dish to be shared. Flavors were good. Meat was tender.

    Great find in the Folsom area on way to Lake Tahoe , looks like newer India restaurant in this area. We had the chicken tikka dosa (nice and tasty) and the talapakkati goat biryani!! The biryani was nice but the seerga sambar rice was little overcooked I felt. They have lot of other good options so will stop again in the future!

    It's not often that I visit autehtic Indian cuisine…read more I grew up Texas and the Bay area most of my life and honestly only visited buffet type establishments in the past. Recently moving to Elk Grove, I was was surprised to see so many different restaurants and multiple food choices. That said, our group last night decided to try Indian food. Wow! And I mean a big smiled tummy rumbling WOW!!! Indian oven is the beast Indian food I have ever tasted! As you know, in my previous reviews, I have also taken into consideration, the ambiance, the restaurant cleanliness (Including the restrooms) and also the staffs demeanor when submitting reviews. I must admit, I am not surprised that this restaurant easily deserves five stars - on all points! If it wasn't for our server "Rinku", our group would never have realized the meticulous efforts made by ownership and staff in presenting so many varied and wonderful tasting dishes we were not previously aware of. In that, I mean, that when you go to a new restaurant, you look at the menu and you take somewhat of a chance in experiencing dishes that sound good, but having no previous experience/s there, may not receive the best tasting meal on the menu. Rinku not only explained the dishes and ingredients, he also gave a little bit of history and process involved into preparing such wonderful tasting meals - throughout. He took the time to answer our questions with as much detail, history, that was necessary for us to understand how much goes into making exceptional Indian cuisine. He highlighted the nuances involved in the preperation processes, the cooking methods, and the reasoning behind obtaining/ producing such differing textures, depths, and tones of flavors. And pointedly, I noticed that everything was very fresh, possibly and most likely made with heartfelt love for India Ovens' patrons. Once again if it wasn't for Rinkus' recommendations, we would not have known what to choose, pertaining to our personal likes, and to be honest, spiciness and heat tolerances of each individual in our group. From this point forward, I will not have any predetermined expectations of what food quality and/or flavors should/could taste like. Amongst our group, we ordered approximately eight different menu items, each with very specific and distinct flavors, and as mentioned before, wonderful textures. I (Rarely and highly) recommend family, friends, colleagues, and the general public to come here, not once, twice, but often, to experience the full menu - all in its time. I recommend that you come and experience wonderful savory Indian cuisine like no other. Thank you Rinku!

The only reason why I don't rate it 5 stars, is because when I usually order, I order to go, and they seem like they really don't care too much, when it comes to the customer service part of it. Could be because they may think I'm a delivery driver, who knows? The food itself is always good. I usually have a seafood dish, along with some samosas and some type of naan. I just get my good food and go about my business. In the end, my tastebuds thank me for it.

And Monday through Thursday they have two pizzas for $50, which is such a great deal. The pizza was hearty, flavorful, fresh, and absolutely delicious. We loved it! Definitely 5 stars, and I can't wait to go back and try more.

I was most impressed by the interior design and atmosphere. It seems like they are updating some parts of the cafe right now but there are a lot of very nice tables with super cute decor and even a conversation pit in the corner! For food, I tried the Sultani Combo, which came with one lamb and one chicken kabob over basmati rice with some salad, pickled cabbage, and two naan on the side for $27. I liked the flavor of everything but I felt the chicken kabob and naan were a bit dry at times, so I asked for some more tzatziki sauce on the side, which they happily provided. Overall, I felt that it was somewhat pricey, but maybe that is the cost of the lamb and upkeep of the large interior. We also tried the afghani burger which had some special type of sausage (sorry can't remember), deviled egg halves, cucumber, tzatziki, and fries wrapped in a pita for $16. My sister enjoyed this dish although if we had to say something, we could have done with maybe a few more sausage pieces in it. I tried the Sip of Herat (pistachio-flavored) latte for $7 which was pretty good, the coffee flavor was strong and I did not taste the pistachio very much. We also tried the Gul-e-kabul (rose-flavored) latte for $7, both were a good coffee flavor so I would recommend this place if you are a coffee enjoyer. Overall, I would totally recommend this place as a hangout/study spot, I would like to come back to try some of the bakery items and some of the other drinks such as the mocktails.
