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! read more

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! read more

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). read more

Mr Dosa - Inside - Indian Near Me - Elk Grove, California

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 ! read more

Food: we absolutely love the dosas (south Indian but savory crepe) it is delicious, so is their veg biryani (it's basically rice with masala's) they give raita with it, basically flavored yogurt, no sweet but just flavorful! Service: always amazing, so attentive, and helpful in deciding on what to order.. a lady, an owner name Gigi.. the sweetest Ambiance: chill, casual place. It's hidden between Laguna and Franklin. read more

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. read more

We hired Mr. Dosa for a dinner party at our home, and we absolutely loved the live dosa and so did our guests! Madan and his staff were friendly and courteous, with quick setup and fast dosas. All our guests enjoyed the dosa station, and we will definitely be doing this again. We also catered several dishes which were all delicious! I know we will be recommending them to all of our friends, and if any of you want a fun and hot food option, I highly suggest having a Dosa Party! It was a hit! Thanks Madan, we will definitely have you over again for future parties! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Mr Dosa - Chicken Tikka Dosa - Indian Near Me - Elk Grove, California

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! read more

My husband and I stumbled on Mr. Dosa in Folsom after an evening of paddleboarding. It quickly became a favorite! We had never tried Southern Indian food before, having settled comfortably with Indian Food for white people basics. You know our type - butter chicken, saag paneer, samosas. But alas my tastebuds are so grateful to be introduced to something new at Mr. Dosa. I'll admit that I had to google what a "dosa" was when we first came. I figured that if it was in the restaurant name, it must be good, but I had no idea what to expect, or what the differences were between the many variations of dosas. In fact, I still don't. I did learn that a dosa is sort of like a big crepe you dip use to scoop masala potatoes then dip into one of the 3 accompanying sauces. That's about all I know so I suspect at my next trip it will be time to try a different one. We returned to Mr Dosa when my husband's friend came to visit at Christmas, but ventured to the Elk Grove location instead. They were so incredibly hospitable despite us showing up for a rather late 9:30. pm dinner when they closed at (I believe 10). Some of our faves so far have been the chicken lollipops, pani puri (so fun to eat!), cheese dosa, paneer tacos (my husband's fave, he hasn't fully graduated from Americanized Indian food if I'm being honest), mango yogurt beverage... There's a lot more I'd like to try! I don't think you can go wrong with any order. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Delicious food and good value . My go to Indian place. Samosas are great. Still have yet to try a dosa.

Food was amazing! Prices were reasonable with big portions and it was authentic Indian food. It was so delicious and I find myself craving it all the time now. Service was good and fast. The restaurant was clean and the bathrooms were as well. It had a nice theme going on. Cute yummy place read more

I wanted to try a new Indian place and I would say it was a 50/50. Some of the dishes were good, like the battered paneer but the butter chicken wasn't that great. Service was great though but I unfortunately only go back of the food was really great, And I don't think it was a hit for me. read more

10/10 recommend this place. It's a combination of wonderful Indian food. There's so many options. I bought my mom here for the first time and she loved it. She's a very picky person so if she loves a spot she'll start coming often. We started off with pani poori and it was delicious. I ordered myself a lemon soda and my mom ordered their chai which was okay. The food here is the main thing. If you're looking for a new Indian spot in Elk Grove I would recommend checking out Mr.Dosa. read more

Great experience with Mr. Dosa! We came with a large party and the service was great. We felt super attentive and the waitress was very patient with our large party. The food itself was the best. Large portions and extremely fair prices. This place gives you quality and quantity. It's packed in the back of the parking lot kind of tucked away. But once you're inside you can almost taste the food. read more

DELICIOUS food was eaten here. I came here with a big party of 8 plus 1 child, and everyone enjoyed the food. The prices for the portions are extremely reasonable. Even all the curries had so much meat in them (not just a few chunks of meat like you normally see in Indian food). The boneless chicken briyani was packed with flavor, and so much meat. The chicken was very tender and cooked well. We ordered the chicken vindaloo and butter chicken, both really good. The chicken tikka dosa was actually the least favorite of our group, we just didn't really care for the texture of the wrap. The naan is very fresh, soft but crispy at the same time. We also tried the onion pakora, chicken 65, and samosas (these had a little kick surprisingly). All so good. We were the only party inside the restaurant, but there were a lot of DoorDash and togo orders. The restaurant itself is a good size and very clean. Also, they only charge an automatic 15% gratuity for parties of 5+, I normally see at least 18-20%, so that was nice to see. I've tried many Indian spots, and honestly I think Mr Dosa is my favorite one so far. I live in Sacramento and they have a location in Folsom, so I think I would try out that location. You just can't beat the quality and price of the food here. read more

I got the paneer tikka masala, rice and garlic naan. It was so delicious! I ordered off DoorDash so I can't comment on the restaurant or staff but the food alone was 10/10 read more

Mr Dosa - Paneer Butter Masala - Indian Near Me - Elk Grove, California

The food is always delicious here. I have been working my way through the menu and it is all just awesome. Very good flavors from ranging in whatever heat level you prefer. The dosa is so good but I recommend eating it at the restaurant, not to go. The chicken fried rice was super sneaky good. The naan's and curry's are also packed with flavor and definitely remind me a home cooked meal. The inside is decorated nicely, it's simple and effective. The wait staff is really nice and attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant, it's my mom's current favorite! read more

Great Indian restaurant on the west side of Elk Grove. Good selection of northern and southern Indian dishes and great service.

If you want Indian food, this is the place. I usually do takeout here, but I did dine in once so I did get a chance to try stuff like a dosa and the pani poori, which won't travel well. The inside is nice enough. Clean. It's fairly small inside, so there's usually just one person who serves as host, server, and works the register for takeout (granted, I usually stop by during an off time 4-5p). But even with the one-woman show, the service is good. The food doesn't take too long to come out and it's not hard to flag someone down if need be. Here's the food I've tried over my visits - samosa chat: this is one of my favorite things. It looks like a mess when you get it as takeout, but it's so good! It also doesn't look like the picture on the website when you dine in. Lots of flavor and texture. Not at all like a regular samosa since they'll take a regular samosa then smash it up and smother it with wonderful sauces and chickpeas. And they give you various sauces on the side to eat with it if you choose. They ask the spice level (mild, medium, or spicy). I get this one medium but most times it tends to be almost too spicy, but it's so good, the spice doesn't ruin it. But their "medium" spicy does vary from visit to visit. - pani poori: I've actually only had this dish a couple times ever. And it's a winner. Flavors are not as bold, but they're still great. And it's nice and light, so it makes for an excellent appetizer. - chicken tikka masala: they ask how spicy you want this, and I just eat it mild bc I've never had a spicy version of this dish before. It's a solid rendition of this dish. The chicken is usually nice and tender with only a hint of dryness. - chicken vindaloo: this is a nice dish if you want something less creamy than the tikka masala but just as tasty. Thumbs up. - vijayawada chicken biryani: good stuff. Not quite as flavorful as the curries, but it's still a good dish and worth trying. - garlic naan: it's garlic naan, which is to say it's good and you can't really mess it up. I'll usually get some to sop up my curry. - chicken tikka dosa: I'm disappointed to say that my first dosa experience at Mr. Dosa was not a good one. I've never actually had a dosa before so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. I just didn't care for it. It wasn't nasty or anything, it just wasn't nearly as tasty as any of the other food I've had here. Maybe I'll try another kind of dosa one of these days, but this will make me think twice before ordering another. So. Give this place a try. While I can't say I eat Indian food very regularly (a few times a year?), this is probably the best Indian restaurant overall that I've ever had. read more

I Love this place and their food. I haven't been to the actual place but my boyfriend has picked it up for us a few times. He said the service is always good and nice and efficient. Every time i get the food it's hot and fresh. We travel from the north to eat here in Elk Grove. read more

I got the hydrabathi chicken biriyani, mild spice and shared some garlic naan. The rice was flavorful, the chicken was moist and well seasoned, and the chutneys were fresh tasting. The garlic naan was fragrant and both crispy and chewy; great to dip with the chutneys! I loved the generous portion (had some leftover for dinner!), the service was quick and friendly, and the restaurant was clean and professional. Would come here to try other things on their menu! read more

We don't go out for Indian food often, but we love butter chicken, and we just watched some videos about dosa, so of course it was the perfect time to try out Mr. Dosa! They are hidden amongst some other hidden gem restaurants behind Walgreens. Despite being pretty early for dinner time, there were a few other tables already dining when we arrived. They have a full kids menu which is great! We picked the chicken fried rice for our kids to share, and any meal that my son will eat meat is a win for us, and he loved it! The butter chicken here was so creamy and my favorite part was that the chicken itself was actually so tender. It is a pretty small dish though and it's more like a single portion rather than the family style I was expecting. We ordered it medium spice and it wasn't too overpowering. We tried out the side of parotta with it, rather than getting our usual naan, since we wanted to try something different. It was good but I think I'd stick to naan because it has more thickness to scoop up sauces, but the shredded and light texture of parotta is nice! We also chose the egg dosa which comes with chutney sauces and a lentil stew. My favorites were the tomato and coconut chutneys with the dosa. I wish the dosa itself was crispier though, and I'm not sure if it was because the egg was maybe weighing it down, or if the dosa just isn't normally as crispy here. They have so many options though so I am definitely willing to give it another shot! Our server was so sweet and she checked on us often. Great service and food came out pretty quickly. I would love to come back again and try more items because they have such an extensive menu! read more

We ordered the Tikka Masala, chicken 65, poori, and samosa. Everything was great, including the service. We will be back!

What's not good here? First off for those that are gluten free. This place has amazing offerings. Their dosas are fresh and ingredients are amazing with great dipping sauces. They do serve other more traditional Indian meals , however they are somewhat different in flavor than what you would expect. Not sure if it's a regional thing or something else specific to the spices they use. For example the tandoori chicken is notably different than other classic Indian restaurants. Personally I would stick to the Dosa's and try different one. Our favorite is the chicken tikka however also enjoy the potato one equally as well. The service at 2pm was perfect. Not too many people in the restaurant however and only 1 server. Not sure what they do on a busy night. Ambiance is typical for an Indian style restaurant. Indian music playing overhead. Typical mediocre decor. You come here for the food. Not really the flare. If you haven't tried dosa before it like Indian food, Mr Dosa is one of our favorites! read more

The service is great at Mr Dosa.The Ladies in the restaurant are very pleasant,patience. The ladiy who attended us answered my questions ,didn't rush at all. Sorry I don't have her name. The food has been awesome. We were there before the Friday rush hour dinner. My daughter loves the chai, mango Lassi and now paani puri. This is the only place that has Masala Dosa in my area. We love Dinning here. The ambience is nice. read more

Great take out experience! I ordered food to-go the other night for the first time from Mr. Dosa. I got butter chicken and lamb vindaloo. Both proteins were soooo tender. Very flavorful overall. They both came with a side of rice. Ordered garlic naan, it came with 2 fairly large pieces. Will absolutely order again! read more

Food tasted really good and the server was kind and the food was fairly priced I think and the dosas were good

Attentive service and delicious food! I ventured here for a reunion with friends. We ordered multiple dishes, but the two that truly stood out were the Masala Dosa and the Bhindi Masala. This was my first time trying dosa and this place did not disappoint! They certainly live up to their name. My absolute favorite dish was the Bhindi Masala. The okra was cooked to perfection and my whole party loved it (even those who aren't the biggest fan of okra). The restaurant was clean and the service was great! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good Indian cuisine in Elk Grove! read more

After a friend visited this restaurant I was inspired to visit the next time I was in the area. This restaurant is located off of Laguna Blvd and Franklin Blvd behind the Walgreens. Plenty of parking available. The staff were welcoming and attentive. There were so many options on the menu I had a difficult time choosing what to order. The menu was organized in different food types. I think it had quite a good amount of vegetarian options too! Eventually we ordered a mango lassi, dal makhani (includes a side of rice), chicken tikka dosa and garlic naan. The mango lassi was so refreshing. The tang of the yogurt base came through and was a nice balance with the creamy mango. Not too sweet which is a compliment. The dal makhani had so much flavor. I ordered the dish with mild spice and it was still so tasty. My local restaurant stopped offering this dish so I'm so pleased to have found this on the menu. It actually tastes better than the other place. The chicken tikka dosa was also wonderful. The chicken was moist and had a ton of flavor. I liked the convenience of how the dosa was wrapped. The dipping sauces were a nice pairing but I didn't necessarily feel I needed them. The garlic naan was prepared nice and crispy. The garlic flavor came through but as someone who loves garlic I might have enjoyed a little more. The restaurant is a small, but because I ate an early dinner I didn't have any trouble finding a table. The restaurant started filling up but everyone was seated as they came through the door. I also saw a couple people ordering food to-go. I'm so glad I tried this restaurant out. It imis my nee favorite Indian restaurant and I cannot wait for my next visit to try more options on the menu. read more

Came here on a whim. Plenty of seating indoors. Restaurant itself is pretty bland. No wow factor. Kinda whole in the wall type of place. Could use some remodeling Their menu is great. I love how diverse it is. From tacos to to rolls. Noodles and rice. I ordered the veggie noodles. Which were good. I would order them again.
