    Tasty, unusual, fresh and exciting food. Exceptional experience, in local culinary landscape. I rarely miss a chance to stop by and have a meal. Just love the flavors and presentation. Lots of vegan options.

    Wonderful quiet place with amazing vibe. Easily accessible by local transport. Dosas and uttappa are really good. Three type of Chutneys served..which taste authentic and good. Sambhar was okish. Banofee was amazing too. Overall good food, excellent, generous and happy staff and a nice place to go to. Will be my regular now on. Highly recommended.

    Vegan and GF. Conveniently located near the beach hotels. Super fast and friendly service. This place makes good dosas considering they are vegan! So for those who are used to ghee butter dosas go with the right expectation as they are vegan. The orange chutney is new and yet to try other options. I liked the Masala dosa(spicy), onion uttappa which seems like it had scallions and hence so green. Sambar tastes a little different than normal. I would not recommend idli if you are getting it to go as it was not soft enough. They said they do not do to go lassi but wish they had that option. Mango lassi is also vegan so it will not taste like the normal mango lassi. Dine in was pretty busy on Valentine’s Day. The quinoa salad is very tasty! But the service was quite fast.

    A vegan Indian food restaurant at the upper north part of the city center of Tel Aviv. The place is super friendly, welcoming and offers a limited variety of Indian food which is mainly based on Dosa or Tahlli. The food is super nice, great tastes and tuned in it's spicness to the Israeli pallet. The dishes are in good portion, besides the Malai Kofta and Palak Paneer which are super small, which was a real surprise, it would have been great if they offered a reasonable size one, as it was quite tasty. All in all it was super nice and refreshing experience and a nice place to visit!

    Wow! Wow! Wow! Highly recommended. Thhe food is amazing definitely gives you a feeling of more ans makes you wanna come back. The people there are nice, it's a small place though so i wouldn't recommend to come a lot of people together. But the dishes are big, tasty, special and we enjoyed every bite.

    The food was good but the service was bad and I believe possibly discriminatory. The waitress pressured us for a tip at the end (unusually so) and then when we said we wanted to round it up (in hindsight, this was too generous) she made a face of disapproval (although this is common practice anywhere else in this country). I am Asian American, non-Israeli and my partner who was with me is Israeli. We have never had this experience at any other restaurant in the country over the past 2 years. We got the distinct impression that she expected us to tip like foreigners and practically demanded a tip because I am not a local. I won't come back here due to service—Ma Pau is better Indian food with much better service. If you want to get food here as a non-local, maybe it's best to just order pickup or delivery.

    Super tasty indian restaurant with amazing service. Dishes were ready pretty fast, and tasted fantastic. I ordered the Purple Dosa which came with a really good olive salad. This restaurant is 100% vegan, kosher and healthy. Highly recommended!

    One of the best vegan places in Tel Aviv, The chef is professional and also cares about the client and it’s special need / allergies. BTW, finish your meal with a drink called “Lasi Mango”, it’s amazing!!

    Amazing service and "wow" kind of dishes. This is the place you want to go if you love Indian food that isn't your regular rice stuff. The menu is pretty big and you would definitely find something to your taste. The staff is very friendly and can adjust the spiciness level. You'd think that one dish is not enough but it totally is. Also, good to know that this place is fully vegan and sugar free.

    I suspect they have an English menu, but I got the Hebrew one. No problem with Google translate. Plus, the server was able to answer all my questions. Anyway, more importantly, the food was amazing! I only had room in my tummy for one traditional dosa. So good! Oh, and thier bathroom upstairs smelled like curry deliciousness!

    Unless you absolutely despise any sort of Indian food, you HAVE TO GO TO DOASBAR! The doasas were superb and reasonably priced, the vibes were good and the staff was Laid back yet professional. They even have a nice assortment of ready to go chutneys and dishes. Go go go 🌶

    Unfortunately, it is important to write this negative review after a recent, negative experience. I ordered a large table for some friends to throw a surprise party and they seated us on the high(ly) uncomfortable bar stools, while most of the seated tables were empty. The waitress who I believe was the manager, was unwarm and unwelcoming to the table of 12 and needed to be called on many times as she did not appear once unsolicited. I went inside and asked for a range of several dishes for the table which she ignored. After calling on her, she came out to the table and asking what we wanted, understood that I still wanted the same thing I had asked several seconds earlier. We received far too many bowls (not only of different kind but simply 3 of each) which could have served 30 people. Needless to say the bill was exorbitant but being that it was a birthday party I chose not to make a scene (a certainty for being screwed the wrong way in Israel). Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best and basic offerings were missing such as due to the empty/broken keg. The place was clean however, and the vibe in general was pretty good.

    The food was tasty, but the portions were small. We ordered the uttapam (large) which comes with green lentil dahl and three coconut dips, and a palak paneer, everything to share (2 persons). I liked the uttapam, because it was a bit fluffy but heavy at the same time and doughy. The coconut dips were mediocre. I missed variation in taste. The green one stood out the most, because it was more flavourful than the other two (green herbs like coriander). The lentil dahl was nice, but as I said: a very small portion (the bowl is smaller than my palm). The palak paneer was alright in flavour, but I cannot call it a palak paneer; it tasted more like a coconut milk based curry with a tiny bit spinach in it. I think this dish was a bit disappointing. The staff was very friendly though, and the service was fast. The restaurant was also clean. I would have loved to give 4 or 5 stars, but this Indian food was not what I expected (and I’ve tried a lot of Indian restaurants around the world).

  • 3/5 Aleksandra K. 2 years ago on Google
    Dosa was very good (almost like in India) but uttapam was a huge disappointment, very very dry and not enough chutneys for sure, so stick to dosa and you shall not be disappointed

  • 5/5 Yuli S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Chen K. 2 years ago on Google
    The best Indian restaurant in the city! Nice service! Drinks menu should be improved (don’t order the Sangria, it’s really disappointing!)

    I've had better experiences at this restaurant than I had this last time. I guess staff changes and quality of service with that. Still decent.

    The Tali was great, the masala dosa was great, the Malai kofta not so much... Got to try the beet dosa today, it was great too! And the service was lovely

  • 5/5 Rishabh J. 1 year ago on Google
    Go for the passion and support of Tori’ this team. The dosa is fantastic and the chutneys and sambar taste brilliant too. But most importantly it’s the people that work here amass the passion the possess. I would recommend highly and go there everyone I can. Heads up to their chef, the chutney maker and Ramon!

    Dosa is simply the best Indian food in town - and I originally came from London which is full of great curry houses. Really excellent food, informal café-style restaurant, great service

    Delicious, fresh healthy food that didn’t taste greasy at all. Everything is vegan and gluten free and staff is very friendly. Will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Agnes F. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Thomas 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly, good service, free chilled water, hip cozy atmosphere, and curry was amazing! But expensive for portion size. Picture is of classic curries. (Size of appetizer) 29 sheckles each +8 for rice.

  • 5/5 Jeremy R. 1 year ago on Google
    I didn't even know that the food was vegan. There was so much flavor and variety. I can't wait to go back.

  • 2/5 Photo J. 1 year ago on Google
    "The establishment is incredibly basic and straightforward, with a severely limited selection of menu items. In light of the ongoing construction in the surrounding area, I personally feel that this place is a complete waste of time. Not only is the menu lacking in diversity, but the overall atmosphere and character of the establishment are also disappointingly mundane. All in all, it's safe to say that this place falls far short of expectations." If you have found this information helpful or useful, please click the “LIKE” button, in order to help others!

  • 4/5 Stefan V. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is tasty and the meal size is adequate. Would recommend. The only thing was that the service fee of 12% was added without us being asked. I mean we would have given it anyway, coz the service was good 😁

  • 5/5 Gila G. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Stu P. 9 months ago on Google
    I've lived many years in India, and this is one of the best Dosa's I've ever eaten outside of India. Highly recommend this place! And if you are vegan, the Mango Lassie is delicious!

  • 5/5 Guy C. 7 months ago on Google
    Super tasty veggie option. Super fresh and tasty. Fast and friendly service. Will definitely be returning here soon.

  • 2/5 Nastya K. 3 years ago on Google
    Don’t know why this place is so popular. We’ve tried an orange dosa and thali set. Food was tasteless and not spicy at all. Maybe it was just bad luck. But I didn’t like this place at all.

  • 5/5 Joelle C. 2 years ago on Google
    The food actually tasted like it was prepared with kindness, and intention and love. I’ve rarely eaten at a restaurant (let alone a vegan one) where the food was so filling for such an affordable price. Ridiculous! Definitely returning here :)

  • 5/5 ita40200 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Delicious and colorful food, the dips in my eyes are worth it all. I could eat doses and dips all day even without the delicious stews. The tsiziki is unbelievable that he is vegan! The guys there are completely homely, maybe even too much. Atmosphere of almost a cheap corner. But the food is sahi blata and really very tasty, so the surrounding becomes part of the interest. (Original) אוכל טעים וצבעוני, המטבלים בעיניי שווים את הכל. יכלתי לאכול דוסות ומטבלים כל היום גם בלי התבשילים הטעימים. הציזיקי לא יאמן שהוא טבעוני! החבר'ה שם ביתיים לגמרי, אולי אפילו יותר מדי. אווירה של כמעט פינת זולה. אבל האוכל סאחי בלאטה ובאמת טעים מאד, כך שהמסביב הופך לחלק מהעניין.

  • 2/5 isadora m. 3 years ago on Google
    We were 3 people and went in personal to get take away food to share. The waiter recommended a dosa and the "half liter" cury with rice, saying it would be enough. We wanted to eat well so we also got an entrance. Got home, opened it. The "half litter cury" was 2 balls of i dont know what with 2 spoons of curry sauce and the rice portioned for 1 person. Not sure want they mean by half a liter... The entrance, which we almost didnt get was bigger than this main dish. We were so hungry that we ended up eating and not taking it back, but we did need to eat our food for the house to get nearly satisfied. Ps. We were 2 small girls and a guy, not 3 huge people that eat a lot. We were very disappointed. I wanted to put a picture here but it wont load...
