Sri Krishna Dosai

Restaurant

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ The crispy cheese kottu is incredible! I wasn't even too hungry coming in but after the first bite, immediately I wanted more. The crunchy, cheesy, slight spiciness, and savory flavors all blended really well. The food was made quickly and with care. Even better that the price was also quite reasona... People often mention dosa, good, service, vegetarian, friendly, tasty, price, restaurant, staff, Great,

    The crispy cheese kottu is incredible! I wasn't even too hungry coming in but after the first bite, immediately I wanted more. The crunchy, cheesy, slight spiciness, and savory flavors all blended really well. The food was made quickly and with care. Even better that the price was also quite reasonable. Staff was courteous and attentive. Definitely check this place out after sightseeing and/or going to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (it's just steps away from the temple gates). Although somewhat an ordinary place, the food and service won't disappoint.

    If you want a change and need authentic Indian dishes at a reasonable price this is the place you should visit. They have the full variety of north Indian n south Indian food which you can choose from. Very famous among the people around and very easy to access. Delivery also available.

    My Google Review # 000027. If you are looking for a sumptuous vegetarian meal after a tiring exploration of the Tooth Relic and the World Buddhist Museum, this is the place you need to go. I am an ardent fan of vegetarian food and after getting completely exhausted in the sight-seeing, I did not want to satisfy my hunger with junk food or cold-drinks. We walked a bit - say 300m from the temple and could sight this restaurant. The food options were good enough and so was the food and hospitality. The pricing was not much either. Check out the snap of the menu uploaded here. ALL VEGETARIAN FOODIES!! MUST VISIT! Date of Experience # March 2019.

    Very good masala dosa, but a bit too hot for non locals and not exactly sparkling clean. Good price, excellent choice of Indian food.

    I had a really nice meal at this place (vegetarian curry and rice). Good price (400 ruppes, but I paid 300 because it was a mistake in the menu) and good quality. The waiter kept serving me extra curries and asking me how it was the food. Highly recommended.

    A variety of affordable and authentic vegetarian South Indian/Tamil food are available including some that are not on the menu such as a the ulundhu vada specials which you can ask about. Really liked the rocket dosa and the unique crispy Kerala kottu and the vada special which we had. Friendly and attentive staff including cashier adds to a nice time. Parking may be a bit difficult but located in a convenient place makes it accessible.

    We arrive late in the evening too be welcomed for our order. We ordered two Masala Dosa's and Ulundu Vada, with two ginger teas. The Dosa's came with coconut chutney, samba and a third sauce which was nice and spicy, all three were very flavourful. The dosa was filled with a good serving of masala potato, enough to ensured each bite of dosa was flavoured. The tea was delicious, but ask for no sugar if you dont take it. Staff were nice and friendly, food was served quite quickly. Would recommend to all looking for a nice meal at a reasonable price.

    After we visited the temple it was very rainy and looked for a place close by. Our guide recommended this place. First impressions might be โ€˜not for touristsโ€™ but just go in and enjoy the dosaโ€™s. They were really good! Itโ€™s not a fancy restaurant but we had a very nice meal. They even made a special typical Dutch dessert for us: pancakes with butter and sugar, from now on new on the menu :)

    Good food great service . Special shoutout to mr Sudarshan for making sure we get the best food . Just a personal recommendation go for the sambar rice and dosa and avoid the cheese kottu.

    We loved the food and the staff were so friendly. We ordered the special thali to split between 2 people. The owner told us it was too much food and he was right. Amazing value for money. All vegetarian .

    I have been here twice, I didnโ€™t review it the first time because I wanted to see if they were consistent. Guess what they are. The masala dosa was very tasty and so were the chutneyโ€™s. Paper Masala dosa isnโ€™t on the menu but they made it for me anyway so great service. The sambar here is so good with many vegetables, you really get value for money.

    Awesome place. Best service one can wish for. So friendly and thoughtful. Super tasty. Unfortunately we could not finish bc portion was big and most to spicy for my gf that does not handle spicy food well. Thanks for the experience!

  • 5/5 Luc M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place with impeccable service would highly recommend food is perfectly safe to eat. Their onion dosa was my favourite the portions are large so I suggest order light to start off this applies especially when having takeaway as their takeaway portions are very generous which makes them stand out in my opinion when it comes to Dosai restaurants here in Sri Lanka. Eating here is filling and kind to your wallet.

    Vegan restaurant. Specializes in Dosa. A kind of pancake with filling. You will also find other dishes. The food was fine. The place is run down, it could be cleaner. Combo Meal and Cheesey Onion Masala Dosa in the photo.

    Extremely cheap yet quality tasty south Indian food. Menu is vegetarian and if you avoid the cheese items it's essentially vegan. They have a good variety of beverages too, the lassi being my favorite. I had the cheese massala dosa and it came with sambar and chutney. Also had a ulundu wada which was okay. The place is has a clean bathroom but no A/C so be prepared to sweat it out if you order a spicy dosa.

    Excellent south indian food. We had the Cheese onion masala dosa - 650 rupees and 3 masala chai teas. Head upstairs to eat on the balcony. Very good server. Delicious food. Note: you can get a masala dosa for 350 rupees which is a bargin!

  • 5/5 Ash P. 5 months ago on Google
    Delicious South Indian food specialising in Dosas. Godo vegetarian food. We ordered the cheese masala dosa; it was large and very tasty! Can't complain at all! All washed down with masala chais overlooking the street from the second floor. Great food, good service. I definitely recommend it!

  • 4/5 Ashlee B. 6 months ago on Google
    We stumbled upon this restaurant and read some promising reviews. Great food, friendly staff and reasonable prices. We had a delicious board of food and was a good experience to taste local cuisine.

  • 2/5 J M. 5 months ago on Google
    Average dosa, nothing special, better vegetarian food available nearby for same cost. Sambar was a bit bland and dosa more soggy than crispy

  • 5/5 N T. 4 months ago on Google
    Lovely Veg Chennai Kottu (string hoppers with Dhal Vada crumble and vegetables). Veg Kerala Kottu (paratha cooked in Sambar) was nicely flavored but I think I prefer the 2 separate rather than cooked together.

  • 4/5 Bimsara W. 6 months ago on Google
    The place is quiet and calm. The service is good and the food are also good. We ordered a cheese onion masala dosai, which was awesome when eaten in hot. The uludu wade are also really good. However the nescafe they served were not good, about which we complained to them. It had zero taste or texture of nescafe. Don't know about the other beverages though.

  • 5/5 Asanka M. 7 months ago on Google
    Place is decent but service is good. Food is tasty and got a enough dosai range. No dedicated parking. Limited seating space in ground floor.

  • 5/5 Darshana A. 10 months ago on Google
    Great place to get dosa food experience. With this current crisis in the country meals can get for reasonable price. Highly recommend to try this!

  • 5/5 Demian W. 1 year ago on Google
    I can highly recommend this place. Itโ€™s in the city center. We went there after the temple. We had plenty of local/Indian food, juice etc. it tastes delicious. Super cheap. Many locals are there. We asked for not spicy and it was still a bit spicy - but we are weak Europeans so I guess thatโ€™s normal haha. Restroom also there and you can wash your hands. Great place

  • 4/5 Irshad J. 1 year ago on Google
    Dosa is tasty and good customer service. But the sambaru provided not tasty enough. Should change the sambaru recipe. Vade is not tasty as expected. But still okay. One dosa is enough for one person. Washrooms are at 1st floor.

  • 5/5 VIRUS M. 2 years ago on Google
    1st time i experienced this much level customer service they concentrate on food quality and customer satisfaction only not like others. I appreciate. Thank you for you wonderful food and service ๐Ÿค—

  • 4/5 Carmen M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly staff that are happy to explain all the different types of dosa. The food was really nice, I recommend you try some dosa and then the samosa style small bites. I took off one star because the toilets were reaaaaally not clean with a lot of insects.

  • 3/5 El M. 3 years ago on Google
    Buy a dosa normal one and it cost 140/= it is not okay with the price you should need to eat more than one. But you can buy better and good amount of food with in that price range.
