| - I'll be quick on this one, as I think others have summed up Dosa rather well.
The key is to avoid the supremely cheap, fried takeaway options on display at the front of the restaurant. They are simply not good, as others have noted: dry, too doughy, kind of old/stale.
The actual menu items are actually very good, which leaves me torn as to how to rate them. They're pushing a 4 star for their menu, but a 1.5 or 2 star for the $3 / 10 samosas (and similar "specials")
Of particular note is that you can order items of the same name off the menu... and they're more expensive. There's a reason for that: they're made fresh, and are much higher quality.
So, I'll go with a 3 star rating and bookmark 'em for further review. If their menu continues to impress -- and I can forget about the mediocre takeaway stuff -- I'll up it to a 4. Really, they should just flat out stop with the cheapies, as they reflect poorly on an otherwise good restaurant.
