The traditional dosa (lentil pancake with potato curry) is the specialty. Has a separate vegan menu list in-restaurant and online. Reported closed February 2024.

Spiced and delicious - Edit
They were opened on january 1st as one of very few options at all. They have a seperate vegan menu, even vegan lassi on it. Food is great, well spiced and very tasty. They know their food and can tell you what ingredients they use, very convenient. Watch out, some dishes appear on the vegan as well as on the non vegan menu. Make sure to order from the right one as names are sometimes the same on both - ingredientses obviously vary. 😉

Tasty with a lot of vegan options - Edit
Here you get really tasty food in a great variety. They know how to handle their spices. What I love especially: it is originally vegan, Not the vegan copy of a meat meal.

Exceptional authentic Indian food - Edit
Clearly defined and separate vegan menu with many choices. I’m if Indian origin and not easily satisfied with Indian meals. The food here is great. Authentic. The chef knows what he is doing and clearly loves his vocation.

excellent place! - Edit
They have an entirely separate vegan menu and they can make their lassis vegan! I had the masala lassi, masala dosa, and channa dosa (over a few visits). The channa dosa was definitely my favorite! 75-80 rand for dosa, comes with coconut chutney as well!!

Always come here when in CT - Edit
They have a separate vegan menu, last year I had the thali and recall it being most enjoyable. This trip I tried the chana dosa which came with chutney, chickpea curry (side of and not filled as I had expected) plus and an additional serving of sambar. All delicious. Also recommend the masala magic lassi.

Disappointing experience - Edit
I ate at Masala Dosa for the first time last year and was excited to get a chance to go back this year. Unfortunately the food wasn't as good as the previous time. The different dishes in the thali were quite bland and all tasted more or less the same which defeats the purpose of several small dishes. Our waiter was also quite unenthusiastic and we struggled to place orders for more drinks and desserts. Whenever someone asked for another drink he would speed off and not give anyone else a chance to order. The non alcoholic drink I ordered was delicious though.
Read morePros: Separate vegan menu, Good drinks
Cons: Bland food, Slow and unenthusiastic service

Good but not great - Edit
Food is good but not overwhelming. Atmosphere is ok. Location is very convenient. It was nice to have South Indian food for a change.
