house of dosas

'house of dosa' a name which stands its value. if you are in live with this particular dish, you will find a variety in this place. we need to wait for 10 mins as it was crowded. it is better if if you have a reservation. food quality is really good and value for money. their biriyani preparation was brilliant.

if you ever need a reason to look forward to mondays, plan a trip to house of dosas. during their monday special, you can get any of the dosas on their menu for $5.99. my favourite is the palak paneer which is a cheese and spinach mixture. i don't think i enjoy paneer anywhere else as i do here. if you're completely new to dosas, you'll probably be amazed by the fact the crepe is longer than your plate! i like bringing newbies here just to see their shocked faces. whichever filling you end up picking (and there are a lot of options), the fillings are always fresh tasting and warm. we also learned that their uthappams (indian version of a pizza) were included in the monday special. we tried the "401 uthappam" and it was amazingly filled with rich flavor. new fave! service is a bit slow even when there are little to no patrons in the restaurant... so bring good company and your patience.

we love this place. it's cheap and delicious. they have the best roti ever. just came back and it was great. the staff are super nice and helpful.

house of dosas is one vancouver restaurant that is known for great late night eats and for being budget-friendly.  they have been around for quite sometime now as their yelp reviews date back to 2008.  on zomato, they are ranked within the top 3 most popular restaurants in the kensington area.  i had heard about their monday special where all dosas are $5.99; this has been offered for many years now since the early days of the restaurant.  earlier this week, i made my to house of dosas to indulge in their monday special.

i don't know what the 65 is in "chicken 65", but is it ever delicious! i'm salivating just thinking about it. spicy tender pieces of chicken come served with a sweet dipper.
the dosas are light and crisp, you pick your filling with whatever you're feeling: different stews, vegetarian. the chutneys are also great, my favourite was the coconut

no doubts, the food is really good and a decent place where we can go eat midnight. but the last few incidents which happened in the past, i would like to share one of them.
so what happened we called the restaurant at around 11pm and asked if they're open , which they replied they were open till 2am. we went there at 12:45 and they were like we're closed. either don't give your words or manage how to run a business. we specially drove for 40kms to have it but they turned it down. and plus they never apologized for this and again when it comes to customer satisfaction, staff is pathetic. they need to improve on it. total waste of time.

j, p, s, and i came to the house of dosas for a catch up dinner on a random weekday, after maybe a year of not seeing each other together. we ordered an appetizer and we each got our own dosa. what is a dosa? my description would be a thick, crispy crepe-like wrap filled with potatoes and meat. paper masala with the meat filling

it's as good as people say. their dosa is light, crispy and a perfect accompaniment to the stewed filling, in my case, the lamb vindaloo. the chutneys are delicious especially the red chutney which also provided the perfect amount of heat. pakoras were well seasoned and spiced, crispy and light, and not at all greasy. super friendly and fast service.

waited more than 70 minutes for our food, it was very busy but 70 minutes is absolutely unacceptable. owner rudely forced us to sit back down when we were going to walk out after an hour of waiting.

one dark (and decidedly unstormy ) night, i found myself at one of my usual late night haunts again – house of dosas. we started off with the paneer 65. paneer 65 looks pretty angry with its vivid deep orange color. unfortunately, the heat is hardly anything like that. comprehensive house of dosas review with extensive pictures and ratings on my blog mentioned in my profile.

while the paneer 65 somewhat spicy, the heat is mostly missing. that does not mean it’s not tasty though. moving on to the dosas, the visual highlight of the meal was the chicken masala paper dosa that my dining partner had ordered. nearly two feet long, the dosa was longer than my arm!

my dosa was somewhat bland and despite the addition of hot peppers, was sorely lacking the heat that i craved. same was the story with the sambar – very watery and bland, it was totally not the thick, flavorful and most importantly spicy sambar that i look forward when i have south indian food.

i've been to this place twice, first time without incident. after visiting india this year, i've been spoiled by 40 rupee dosas. however, the portions here are north-american huge. the food is tasty, and authentic. however, what was also authentic, was my stomach pain after my most recent visit.

the shrimp dosa turned my stomach into a house of sadness for three days. it wasn't violent, but instead rather beckoning and mildly crippling. i was riddled with the kind of sadness that leads one to abandon teammates in dota mid-game. i might visit again if i gather the courage.

come on zomato help me rate them a 1000.

when i was living in south surrey, i would drive all the way with my cousins to house of dosas to satisfy our foodie souls.

the owner is a gem of a person. handles business with love and affection. knows his regular clientele and his staff is very loyal to him.

when i moved to 53rd and knight, it was like a honeymoon because i was so close to the location lol. hop on the bus with my roomie and head there to eat. the fact that they're open till late is another impressive rate worthy point.

because i'm half south indian and was away from mom's home made dosas and idli for 5.5 years, house of dosas made me feel at home. their dosas are bad ass and you cannot have only 1. they also have days where they have a discount on dosas and those are the days we as students would look out for haha.

lovely service, amazing food and easy on the wallet. what else do you want?

my favorite chicken dosa 😆

can't wait to come back to vancouver :)

came here to meet friends and i have no experience much on dosas, bread with meat or something like that but indian cuisine generally have lots of spices from what i remember and at the end of the meal i'm always overwhelemed by the spices that i'm eating the same dishes even though they mentioned it's different spices. so then, ordered a few dosas, and each of them even though does have a different flavour but at the end i still can tell the difference and differentiate from one to another. :0 each dishes have it's own strong flavour i must say. but each are still good on it's own as well. i guess any of the dishes that i will pick most likely i'll like it. the fried chicken is definitely good as well.

these guys are great, they are great with kids and have a great attitude whenever we come. food is fantastic, hands down one of the very best in vancouver

dosa's are great, but not here! i got food poisoning so bad from the seafood dosa, i was sick for 2 days. when i went back to tell them, nobody at the restaurant cared! years later, i returned with a friend...they messed up my order...which was already late and my friend had finished his food before i even got mine. nobody apologized or cared. this place is packed because the food is cheap...cheaply made! bunch of young locals saving a buck. trust me, it's not worth it!
