In
this
blog
post,
I
cover
DS
Dosa
Factory,
an
authentic
South
Indian
restaurant
in
Connaught
Place,
New
Delhi.
Just
imagine
you're
visiting
a
quirky
South
Indian
restaurant
in
your
favorite
part
of
the
city,
and
you
are
greeted
with
a
5.5
feet
dosa.
Trust
me,
you'll
never
see
a
bigger
dosa
than
this
in
your
life
(I
haven't!!!),
and
for
this
reason
alone,
you
must
visit
the
DS
Dosa
Factory
in
Connaught
Place,
New
Delhi,
at
least
once.
The
highlight
of
my
visit
to
the
DS
Dosa
Factory
was
this
gigantic
Family
Dosa
which
takes
approximately
10
minutes
to
prepare
and
more
than
30
minutes
to
savor
by
at
least
two
people.
Everyone
wanted
a
photograph
with
it,
and
why
not!
DS
Dosa
Factory
is
the
brainchild
of
restaurateur
Sunjjoy
Bhardwaj
who
opened
the
first
branch
of
the
retail
outlet
chain
on
October
11,
2016.
In
a
short
span
of
five
years,
the
family-owned
business
has
become
a
brand
to
reckon
with;
just
looking
at
the
sheer
number
of
outlets
they
have
across
the
country,
you
can
tell
that
they
are
expanding
in
a
big
way.
They
already
have
a
presence
in
Vaishali,
Jhilmil,
Noida,
Connaught
Place,
Crossings
Republic,
Rajendra
Nagar,
Geeta
Colony,
Hyderabad,
Ramnagar
(Uttarakhand),
and
Purnia
(Bihar).
So
what's
the
reason
for
their
success,
one
may
ask!
At
DS
Dosa
Factory,
expect
freshly
cooked
vegetarian
South
Indian
fare
with
essential
ingredients
like
coconut,
tamarind,
curry
leaves,
and
mustard.
They
offer
more
than
80
varieties
of
Dosa
alone
at
pocket-friendly
prices.
Their
menu
has
a
host
of
delicious
options
starting
from
Idli
and
Vada
to
Uttapam
and
Upma.
Leveraging
in-house
recipes
and
spices
from
the
South,
they're
making
sure
DS
Dosa
Factory
is
the
best
QSR
in
Delhi.
My
favorites
included
Adai
Dosa
(made
using
lentils
including
toor
dal,
urad
dal,
and
a
small
amount
of
chana
dal
and
rice),
Mini
Idli
Tadka,
and
Karam
Podi
Ghee
Masala
Dosa
(made
using
Gun
Powder).
And
while
you're
at
it,
try
their
signature
beverages,
such
as
Rasam,
Filter
Coffee,
and
Paan
Mojito.
The
restaurant's
ambiance
can
turn
off
a
few
customers.
The
space
can
also
feel
cramped,
especially
if
you're
sitting
near
the
kitchen
area.
Ground
seating
is
the
best
if
you're
visiting
the
restaurant
with
your
family.
They
also
have
mezzanine
seating
in
case
you
need
a
bit
of
privacy.
There
is
some
room
for
service
improvement,
but
overall,
the
staff
is
trained,
courteous,
and
smiling.
Another
area
to
focus
on
is
the
plating
(I
mean
who
serves
South
Indian
food
on
yellow
plastic
plates?).
They
could
probably
serve
on
banana
leaves
-
completely
biodegradable,
organic,
hygienic,
and
chemical-free.
DS
Dosa
Factory
will
never
match
up
to
the
standards
set
by
the
iconic
Saravana
Bhavan,
but
to
their
credits,
at
least
they're
trying.
I
can't
wait
to
revisit
the
outlet
with
my
family.
