So I went to Madras Masala last weekend near Christie station. And I mention the station because we went by car and struggled to fine parking lol. Next time I might go through the station - but that's a good thing, there is a next time!
So this a cozy little South Indian restaurant however I noticed that their menu extends beyond South Indian dishes, which is a good thing of course, however my friend and I decided to stick to our plan of coming here for the dosa. And we're glad we did because these are some of the biggest dosas I have seen!
I ordered a rava dosa which was about a 1m long but super thin and folded nicely on my thali. My friend had a chilli onion dosa which was also huge and filled with chopped onions. I didn't like the onion dosa so much because I thought the onions wouldn't be raw but I guess that's how you are supposed to eat an onion dosa? I really don't know. But my rava dosa was on point! And it had curry leaves and cashews and spices in the rava dosa! A really good experience with my first ever rava dosa.
However when it comes to the potato filling and chutnies....that's where I wasn't so happy. The potato filling that I was served seemed a bit watery lol. I'm new to south indian foods but i have tried other potato fillings that were more oily and not watery. Not sure if it's always like this, but I didn't like the potato masala. As for the tomato chutney....It was good but a bit different than what I'm used to. But the coconut chutney was yummy and authentic. And Sambar, Sambar is always good :)
Overall this is a place I would return to for the dosas which were about $10 a plate. And I would return to try some of the other dishes as well. I also want to try the chili cheese dosa that everyone talks about. Service was really good too on top of that, and we got to talk to some nice people there. Overall it's worth trying :)
