Thanks to a post on You Gonna Eat That, I decided to try out Canada Dosa Corner. I'm always looking for new "hole in the wall" type places in the NE to try. Definitely head over to her blog to get the full back story scoop on this restaurant.....now on to the food.
I had never been to a Sri Lankan restaurant before so I wasn't sure what to expect. The owner was very helpful in giving recommendations about what to order. Unfortunately, the menu doesn't have any descriptions or pictures so you are kind of lost unless you get help or know Sri Lankan food. I've eaten their twice and both times I got ulundu vadai to start with string hoppers with chicken korma and korthu for the main course. The ulundu vadai is like a savory deep fried donut served with a spicy sauce. String hoppers are vermicelli noodle nests that you spoon the korma (curry) over. Korthu is a chopped dish that has onions, bread, egg, meat and ????. It's kind of like a hash. It's spicier than you would think since it's not saucy at all.
Overall the food is very, very good. I find it very inexpensive for all the food you get. It is quite spicy. I think the spice is nice but my Canadian friends have mentioned that is quite spicy to them. The owner is very nice as well and very appreciative of the business. It seems to be her & one other lady working there so if you walk in & no one comes to help you, you should let them know you are there. The food is very fresh & is made to order. It is not super fast but you can get in and out for lunch in 1 1/2 hours.
One thing to mention....I found that the food was very different the two times I visited. Great both times but not the same. I was okay with that but it might bug some people. It's also hard to get exactly what you had the time before b/c they will often throw things in & then when you ask for it they're not exactly sure what you are asking for.
Sorry for the long review. I would definitely recommend you give this place a try!
