House of Dosas (Knights Street and Kingsway), is another restaurant we frequent regularly. The ambiance is nothing to scream about and the service is often slow...but each time we go, it has been well worth the wait. The chicken and mixed vegetable dosa is delicious and so is the roti with gravy.
This restaurant specializes in Dosas (hence the name), a South Indian and Sri Lankan dish that is essentially an enormous thin pancake (like a crepe), made with ground rice and a type of bean that has been allowed to ferment.

House of Dosas has a wide variety of fillings to choose from.We enjoyed the dosas on our first visit.The chutneys are fantastic too and oh sooo authentic. I love the crispness of the dosas and the spicy fillings (masala dosas) makes it a very hearty meal. Go hungry. Try the rava dosa (made with cream of wheat and rice flour instead of dal and rice), which has an even crispier texture, that comes out bubbly and lacy. They are all served with a dense coconut chutney (white without chili, red with) and sambar, a thin soup for dipping and drinking. Don't forget to try out their fish curries too, its really great.

We were never rushed and sat right by the window so enjoyed looking out at the passersby. As an added treat, if you a Cricket fan, then they have matches contstantly going on the TV in the dining room. All of the other patrons were enjoying themselves and people didn't mind waiting for the food to arrive (as it was piping hot when it came so this meant the food was fresh).

Overall, a very nice place for a Sunday Brunch.

Cheap, cheerful and close . That's what you want in your local restaurant. And that's what you find in House of Dosas. It isn't exactly fancy, but the food hits the spot.

And it's baby friendly!
