Dosalicious

The children were asleep while visions of sambar and chutney danced in their heads….

Huh?

When most people they think of a “crepe”, they conjure up an image of the pancake-like creation of the French variety, filled with the likes of nutella and bananas.

Of course, if your desi, or even more specifically South Indian, you know better.

Dosa, a San Francisco restaurant dedicated to the almighty rice crepe, is a temple for all those who grew up on the tasty treat. Filled with delicious combos of zucchini, chutneys, paneer, nuts, onions, and yes even mozzarella cheese, these dosas will have your mouth watering for more.

Traditional Indian food this is not. With minimalist orange colored walls and thin hanging lights, Dosa is the place to bring your best friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, cousin visiting from out of state not Uncle and Aunty visiting from India, (mango soju cocktails anyone?).

The French have nothing on us.
