Five Stars for The Best Sri Lankan Tamil Cuisine In Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire: ‘A One Dosa.’
As I travel around the world, sampling different type of food, I wanted to eat some traditional, Sri Lankan Tamil cuisine. I had already visited A ONE DOSA in person. It is a small, intimate, friendly restaurant in Luton’s Bury Park. And recently, I placed an order via Uber Eats. And this is a review of ‘A One Dosa,’ as delivered by Uber Eats.
I was staying at a hotel in Luton. And I yearned for Sri Lankan food that could be hot and spicy and of course freshly cooked. So, I tapped Uber Eats and placed an order for my favourite: the mutton kotthu rotti. I have eaten this dish in person at ‘A One Dosa.’ And this time, my order was delivered within the expected thirty minutes. So, the first plus comes here.
Then, the food itself was delicious. As someone who has tasted mutton kotthu rotti all over the world, I can tell you that the chefs at ‘A One Dosa’ make one of the best kottu rottis in the world. There were plenty of yummy pieces of mutton and it was delightfully spicy. The texture of the rotti was perfect.
I also had two mutton rolls which were amazing.
On top of these great things, the price was the real charm behind A One Dosa. The mutton kotthu rotti was enough for two people and cost just £8.50. This is a bargain when you realise the complexity of making kotthu rotti and getting it right. And it is made by chefs who came from Jaffna, in northern Sri Lanka. These professionals know exactly how to bring up those Jaffna flavours in England!
The mutton rolls, at £1.25 each is over-priced for a small piece. But, this is not a complaint as this is how most other restaurants charge for mutton rolls. This is another Sri Lankan Tamil snack that is sophisticated to make and challenging to get it right. So, next time, I would not order it. Instead, I would pick a second carton of kotthu rotti. That would have been a better value for the money.
If you are not a fan of super-hot, super-spicy foods, then, I recommend you instruct the chefs at A One Dosa (via Uber Eats) to ask them not to make it too spicy! If you are not on good terms with Jaffna-standard heat within the Sri Lankan foods, you will sweat everywhere! I love it, so I cherished every bite!
So, sincere thank you to the owner, the manager and the chefs of ‘A One Dosa’ for another delightful experience with Sri Lankan Tamil cuisine in England. As a small business, A ONE DOSA is one of the big, bright lights of Luton. And, ‘A One Dosa’ really is the best provider of Sri Lankan Tamil cuisine in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. (24...
Read moreI had the chance to visit A One Dosa in Luton recently with my friend Arya, and it was an interesting experience overall. The restaurant offers a good selection of South Indian and Sri Lankan dishes, so we were excited to try something different.
Arya ordered the Sri Lankan-style chicken biryani, while I opted for chili chicken with fried rice. Out of curiosity, I tasted a small portion of her biryani, but I found the flavor profile wasn’t quite to my liking. It had a strong and distinct Sri Lankan spice mix that might not be for everyone, but Arya loved it and said it was flavorful and aromatic.
As for my choice, I couldn’t have been happier! The chili chicken was perfectly cooked, with tender pieces of chicken coated in a spicy, flavorful sauce. It wasn’t overly spicy but packed just the right punch. The fried rice paired beautifully with it, being light, fragrant, and cooked to perfection.
While I personally didn’t enjoy the biryani, the chili chicken and fried rice made up for it. The restaurant’s quality, reasonable pricing, and friendly service make it a great option for anyone wanting to try South Indian or Sri Lankan...
Read moreI would say third class service and they don’t have manners how to behave with customers, we have ordered food and we have been served readymade elephant wrap instead of fresh chapati. When we raised this then we have been told just carry on with that wrap and meanwhile they will serve fresh chapati, I have clearly mentioned take off that wrap and we will wait for chapatis but the guy who is in till said just have it while he will bring chapatis but at the time of billing he charged extra for it and he lied to us and argued, at the end I have paid extra but I and neither one of us will never ever go to this restaurant. Food was cold , no service, they took 40 min to serve standard thali etc. I would not recommend this restaurant at all because we go out in restaurant to chill out and customer satisfaction is very important but they...
