Every time I eat at this South Indian restaurant in San Francisco, it's as though I'm at a festive party with the brightly colored food, lively flavors and snappy spice-infused drinks.
Dosa, which has its original location on Valencia, offers an innovative menu with plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans. Starters are the real appeal and it's easy to make a good meal by sharing a few. And while I don't usually focus on drinks, the drink menu here is not to be ignored. The cocktails feature drinks such as the Peony with gin, hibiscus nectar, coconut, lime and bird's eye chili. I've yet to try one that wasn't only pleasing to the eye, but also the palate.
The colorful, spice-infused cocktails (above and below) are unique and flavorful. This is one of the few places I always order a cocktail.
Dosas are basically a filled crepe that you eat with your hands, dipping it first into the lentil soup or sambar and then add some fresh coconut or mango chutney. One order can make a filling meal or share it will the table in order to sample more from the menu. Fillings range from a blend of potatoes to cheeses and vegetables, such as the paneer and peas dosa (below).
The vada pav or vegetarian sliders (above) have a spiced potato patty, chutneys, caramelized onion and ground chilies and lentils. They're flavorful and the different textures provides a nice balance to the dosas.
Dosa, with its simple yet elegant interior with modern chandeliers, is an excellent choice in San Francisco for dining with those who eat meat and those who are vegetarians as the varied menu offers a good selection for each.
