Review: Dosa is one of my favorite restaurants anywhere. Their Dosas are impeccable. Every Dosa I have had there has been fabulous. Their Sambar is great. They have always been very good when it comes to Vegans, offering a separate Vegan menu (with other dietary restrictions) when asked. The ambiance is perfect, the food is top quality, the service is outstanding. I can only give them 3 stars though because I reserve 5 stars for completely Vegan restaurants and 4 stars for completely Vegetarian restaurants. But, as far as non-Vegetarian restaurants go, Dosa is at the top of my list.
 
Pros: Dosas * Vegan-Friendly * Ambiance/Service
Cons: Not Completely Vegan * Not Completely Vegetarian *

Review: While I really enjoyed the experience here the first time I went, the second time was so bad that I have got to recommend it be avoided by vegans. Go to Udupi Palace one block away instead. Neither restaurant is completely vegan but Udupi it is cheaper, vegetarian, better tasting and I would say much more understanding of your dietary restrictions.

 
Pros: Good Service * Atmosphere can be nice * Food can be good, but...
Cons: FOOD MADE ME SICK ONCE. (DAIRY??!) * Can get very crowded and unpleasant * Trendy and overrated

Review: I went there for dinner twice. The first time was great. The waitstaff was very helpful when we told them we were vegan. The food was amazing. It was loud in there, but we had a nice table away from the bar and even though it was busy we did not feel rushed.
The SECOND TIME SUCKED. We were sat near the bar were we kept getting hit by drinkers waiting for a table. The hostess was very nice, but the waiter sucked. We made it very clear what we ate and did not eat. The hostess gave us a special vegan menu. BUT...after we ate our "VEGAN" dinner, we both got stomach aches. (you know the kind when milk has been slipped to you). We are bummed cuz the first times was so great, but we will not be going back.

 
Pros: NICE HOSTESS * *
Cons: DAIRY in our "VEGAN" food * *

• I am a Vegan and go to Dosa quite a bit. I've never had any of those issues. They have always been very good when it comes to Vegan options (they have a separate Vegan menu). response by sfliberal
