We visited this restaurant as it has been years since we had a Dosa, and we fancied a change from the usual indian. We were a bit confused as to why a nepalese restaurant would have Dosa on the menu, as it is a bit like going to a Devonshire cream tea café for Haggis, but whatever. So I ordered, starter Gobi Manchuria, main Khadeko Kukura, plus we shared a Vegetable Dosa. I thought all of them were extremely tasty and different from the usual curry experience. To top it all the house red wine was wonderful. The seating is padded and very comfortable, the service first rate. The heating took a bit of time to kick in as it was only 17:30 and we were the first to arrive after opening, so it was a true Everest experience to start with. I will be a regular future visitor to this excellent restaurant. It does have its own website, so I have updated the info. The menu seems to cover all nepalese and indian cuisine.

This restaurant was previously known as Trichy Dosa, and the website is yet to be updated. We visited this restaurant based on the reviews given here:
As massive fan of South Indian food, I was really looking forward to the Dosa, based on the rave reviews! On arrival, I first realised, they had changed the name, and clearly everything was new, but upon closer inspection of the menu, could see clearly the same people as the menu was literally exactly the same word for word. I didnt understand why it was considered a Nepalese restaurant as Dosa’s and Idly, really is not a nepalese cuisine. But hey, I assumed they must have a south indian or well trained chef for this. Once sat down, we ordered a variety of varients of dishes of dosa. Seating layout and ambience was good, service with a smile. Sadly, The food was well below par. The dosa’s were very thick and bitter. which clearly means the batter had not been prepared well in advance, and the chef did not have the correct technique to create the think, crispy dosa. The Chilli Paneer was poor to say the least, and the Chilli Chicken was well tasted like chicken in a spicy watery tomato sauce, with a dash of chilli powder. Asked for a chilled litre bottle of still water, got a 750ml bottle of warm water. It dawned on my that I was about to pay close to £30 for a meal that would have cost me no more than £15 in Chenai Dosa, and was trying to hold back the anger. The waiter continued to ask, is everything ok, and I stated, yes, its just ok. At the end I asked where the dosa chef is from, he rambled on, and then clearly new that I knew what it should taste like, and said he is in training. Okay! So everything read on Dailyinfo must either be from people who know nothing about Dosa’s, or simply they themselves have created loads of accounts, and written reviews for themselves. Will never return! When will restaurants realise the quality of the food is what is the best seller, We go to some pretty crappy café style places, that are not the most relaxing, but the food is so damn awesome and good value, the places are always so busy. I will be suprised if this business lasts more than 6 months, with the competition on Cowley Road. Good luck though!
