Dosa Grill in North Brunswick used to be our place to have good dosas. Ever since they opened a branch in East Windsor I go there as its closer
Couple of times in last few years I have gone to Dosa Grill in North Brunswick but felt their quality and service had gone down. Last week I went to it again mainly as it was a central point to meet friends. We whereabouts 10 of us
We mainly ordered Dosas, Uttapams and Masala oddly plus some desserts and madras coffee. I had ordered the Masala Iddly and the Pesaratu with uppuma. Before I ordered teh pesaratu I specifically asked the server that this was a "true" pesaratu made with moong dal and not ones that many S indian places pass as Pesaratu but its mostly rice flour and sprinklings of moong dal flour. He assured me that it was 100% moong dal. Well when it came it was mostly rice flour with minimal moong dal. I complained to teh server but he said its 100% moong dal and said would mention to chef. He never apologized or offered a refund or anything like that; personally I don't think he cared as to him it was just a job! Very disappointing. The up puma and masala Iddly was OK Most of my other friends who ordered dosas and uttapam also said the quality has gone down. The desserts (Payasaam, Badam Halwa with Ice cream nd Rasmali were nothing spectacular.
Service was just OK. Not friendly nor courteous. Plus no apologies for promising me 100% moong dal and when I complained it wasn't no real action taken to resolve that
Personally, I don't think I would visit this place again . What a fall from grace when they used to be so good! There are so many other South Indian restaurants around and it amazes me that sub-quality food and service places still survive and/or restaurants are not doing enough to improve...
Read moreThe place is clean and very well lit and hygenic. Enjoyed a great thali meal in good ambience. Items include, Pulao or Biryani, Rice, Appalam, Rasam, sambar, kurma, yoghurt, pickle and some north Indian items such as rotis and a paneer gravy item, gajar ka halva as desert..
However, Some desirable south items such as, poriyal, Vatha Kozhambu or Kara Kozhambu, south Indian style darker spinach varieties, ( not palak), Gongura, carrot or cucumber daal kosambari, onion or cucumber raitha are recommended to the chef to rotate as items in future variations.
In this edition of the Thali, one can taste of both south and north indian flavors. An option to choose a very traditional south Indian thali should be added to the menu.
Quality and Quantity are both beyond any complaints. Service is very attentive and fast. A complimentary coffee or tea is included as a part of the meal.
The rotis are the softest, tastiest. One can eat it just by itself. If if you're still have space in your belly, i recommend ordering a Chilly Naan as an additional add on, wipe clean the extra paneer gravy. Yummy.
Hmm..How about a space to nap after a such a wonderful and heavy meal. Lol
Now this is a general appeal to all Indian restauranteurs. Please cut down on Aloo. If at all,use the red skin or white allo as they don't pop up as slightly sweet version of the normal potato. Don't use russet or other...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of hiring Dosa Grill for a catering service, and I must say, they exceeded my expectations in every way possible. From start to finish, their chef and assistant had such a pleasant demeanor that included the right blend of friendly warmth and professionalism.
What truly amazed me was the logistical obstacles that the crew had to overcome, which they did with sheer effort, determination, and a "can do" attitude. These obstacles included carrying an incredibly heavy stove up 3 flights of stairs and on to a patio. Despite being in an environment very much out of their comfort zone, they still executed flawlessly.
And the dosas themselves were absolutely delicious. The variety offered was fantastic, and it was exciting to eat each one. But that's not all - the vegetable briyani, vada, idli, sambar, gulab jamuns, chutney, AND masala chai were all included in the unbeatable price.
Overall, the quality, taste, execution, and service of Dosa Grill is truly unbeatable. If you're looking for a fantastic dosa party, look no further than Dosa Grill. I highly recommend them for any event,...
