| - The real reason I went here was because a little bird told me they have 'Kothu Roti'. If you dont know what it is, go and try it. If you do know what it is, yes, Canada Dosa Corner has it!!
This place is perhaps best known for its Dosas, but like I said, I had an ulterior motive. After my terrified realization some months back that there were no Sri Lankan restaurant in Calgary that serves 'Kothu Roti', I was quite ready to write off this delicacy as a chapter in my life that would stay buried in my past (read: Montreal) forever. But then I heard of Canada Dosa Corner, and heard it was Sri Lankan... With fire in my eyes and rumbling in my belly, I jumped on my computer to see their menu, and lo and behold! They had my beloved 'Kothu Roti' listed under their 'Specialities'! And 4 different kinds at that!!!
Can you imagine my joy?!
So off I went last night! It was a small, modest establishment just off International Avenue. As we sat down, we knew exactly what we wanted. We opted for the Chicken Kothu Roti, the Chilli Chicken (another fond favourite - but for those of you not good with spices, stay FAR away) and the Goat Dosa. We figured we might as well try the Dosa since it was what the restaurant was known for. The Kothu Roti came first. We dug in. It was a bit different from what I had before, but it was DELICIOUS nonetheless! Kothu Roti is a Sri Lankan dish made from chopped pieces of bread, vegetables, meat and egg and flavoured with mouth-watering spices. One bowl (they served it in a bowl) was enough to feed two people. Then came our goat Dosa. The Dosa was perfectly made, and the goat curry it was stuffed with was once again, delicious. The Dosa was served with 3 different dipping sauces. Once again, a huge portion that would leave one person sufficiently stuffed. Then came the Chilli Chicken with a bowl of steamed rice. Goodness, they dont mess around with their chilli! This dish was SPICY! The sauce almost had an Asian taste to it. I might say this was my least favourite dish of the three, but was still REALLY tasty!
When we were nearing the end of our meal, Mary - the owner - started telling us the story of her life and how she got to Canada Dosa Corner from Sri Lanka. I won't divulge any details, but let me tell you - that is one heck of a heart-wrenching story.
All in all, the food here is amazing. The price is reasonable. The owner is friendly. And to top it all off, they serve AMAZING Kothu Roti. If I still have not convinced you to go try it, I should probably just stop writing reviews altogether.
