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.
