I love dosa but can't claim to be a connoisseur since I have never had one that I didn't like. So me saying the dosa here was good doesn't tell you much. But it was good. Crispy and stretchy/spongy, good flavour. The sambar and chutney had nice flavours and nothing too, too hot. Service is what stood out.

I love dosa but can't claim to be a connoisseur since I have never had one that I didn't like. So me saying the dosa here was good doesn't tell you much. But it was good. Crispy and stretchy/spongy, good flavour. The sambar and chutney had nice flavours and nothing too, too hot.

Service is what stood out. I am often the sole Westerner in South Indian restaurants (and local Chinese ones, etc.) and it's interesting to watch how that's handled. For the restaurant it's a balancing act. If they are too helpful, I might be insulted. If not, I might feel awkward. Sangee that struck the balance. Help was offered but not pushed. The older gentleman who seemed to be the owner or manager gave me a tip on traditional technique for tearing the dosa but did it in a way that didn't imply I had been "doing it wrong". Hard to describe how he achieved that but it worked.

The dosa was good but the masala tea was stand out. A bit spicier than most, with just a hint of sweetness. I don't always put sugar in masala tea and when it's presweetened it's often too much, overpowering the tea and spices. Sangeetha's was perfect. Just a hint of sugar with strong tea and spices. A very small serving (maybe 4 ounces?), served in a metal cup. Just the thing to top off a light meal.
