I've been to this great masala dosa spot on the Gerrard St. strip several times over the past few years for weekend brunch. I usually come with a friend and am seated right away, served water promptly and checked on periodically. In other words, the service is decent. This past weekend, I was flying solo and was pretty disappointed.
I was seated conspicuously away from other diners - not sure if this was deliberate, it could just be my paranoia. I ordered my usual masala dosa and South Indian coffee. My dosa arrived promptly, but my coffee didn't and I had to flag down a waiter for it. When the coffee arrived, I was asked when I wanted my thali - a dish I had not ordered! I clarified that I was here alone and am not in the habit of eating two entrees. Sadly, I was pretty much ignored for the rest of my visit.
All this being said, the food quality was as good as usual and the coffee hot. I'm sure I'll be returning, but probably not alone. I'm sad to say that solo diners are not respected here!
