Nandu Dosa Dinner — Restaurant in Mumbai

Nandus Dosa is another one of my comfort food, whenever I am craving for some dosas. This is a go to place if you are a lover for Dosas, the place is a small joint so don't expect fancy dinning experience but the food will blow your mind. Some of my recommendations - Nandus Special Dosa - 5/5 - This is my go to Dosa, its spicy, its savory and everything in between. The bhaji is blast of flavors. Khakhra Dosa - 100/5 - This is something we discovered much later and boy did we miss it !!! As the name suggest, the dosa is literally like Khakhras (Gujju Snack), extremely crispy. Everyone I have taken to this place be it kids or elders they have loved it, must try. Paneer Chilli Dosa - 4/5 - Another good one, this is not chinese dosa but the filling is of Paneer and decently spicy. For me the spiciest dosa is Nandus Special out of all the ones I have tried. Paneer Makhani Dosa - 4/5 - More creamier take on paneer bhaji and this one was flavorful and interesting, much better than what we had expected, not at all sweet so that was a plus. Special Manchurian Dosa - 4/5 - This is definitely the chinese take on the Dosa, It is extremely flavorful and spicy. An indian style chinese take on Dosa and we loved it. Jini Dosa - 4/5 - Another classic combination, we normally have standing Jini dosa however its comparatively mild in flavors, so good to have when you something light in terms of flavors. Open Pizza Dosa - 4/5 - Dosa served as a pizza where instead of pizza you get dosa as a base. Another mild dosa perfect for kids and people who don't prefer spicy of flavorful food. Steam Idli - 4/5 - They provide good and soft idlis, definitely good but personally not one of my favorite as I am here for flavors. Veg Grill Sandwich - They also serve good sandwiches if you are a sandwich lover and would like to give them a try. They also serve good Pizzas. However we are always here mostly for Dosas and boy do they deliver always :) This is a place where I would suggest dont go for takeaway rather go there and eat, and see the difference in the texture. Dosa is an item which needs to be eaten as soon as its made and that makes all...

I had high hopes for Nandu Dosa, given the long queues outside, but honestly, I cannot understand the hype. The dosa here was far below expectations—bland, lacking any depth of flavor, and nowhere near the crisp, satisfying bite that street vendors easily deliver. If anything, the dosa tasted ten times better at a simple roadside stall than at this so-called popular spot.

The sambhar was another major disappointment. It had the same dull, mass-produced taste as food served in a bhandara, completely lacking freshness or spice balance. It felt like an afterthought rather than an essential part of the meal.

Honestly, I don’t know how people are willing to wait in line for this. If you’re craving a dosa, save yourself the trouble and head to a local street vendor—you’ll get far better taste, quality, and even value for your money.

Would not recommend Nandu...

Nandus dosa has been an iconic dosa shack for a lot of young college guns. Their tasty dosas are pocket friendly and are served with two types of chutneys. The amazing variety of dosas they serve can satisfy people with all types of taste buds. We tried many different dosas but my favourites are always open paper pizza dosa, paneer cheese chilly dosa and cheese chilly dosa. Their Jini dosa and the chopsuey dosa are the famous ones but their cheese sada and the powder sada are the most favourites amongst people. All the dosas served are also prepared in Jain variety and tastes equally amazing. This is a roadside shack and people generally eat in their parked cars and on the side wall seating on the road. It is always crowded be it any time of the day. Even on hot scotching heat summer days it is full of people hogging on...
