Criminally underrated
The food is very good and reasonably priced for SF (e.g. lamb biryani for $16). The meat and portion are generous. The lamb vindaloo is excellent and the mango lassi tastes just right

My go to place for dosa! They have a great selection for dosa, I loved their mysore masala dosa — the tomato chutney was cherry on top! Chicken Biryani is also pretty good. Beautiful decor and peaceful atmosphere. Servers are humble and kind. The owner is very welcoming. Worth a visit!

There’s 4 different Indian restaurants within a block but this one is by far of my favorite. It’s more casual than the others, but prices are reasonable and the staff (or at least the owner/manager) is very friendly. In case it wasn’t obvious from the name, you should definitely try the dosa!

Love, love this restaurant! Everything—from the atmosphere, food, to the service—was beyond expectations. You must come and visit this place; you’ll love it!
I had the chicken dosa, and it was absolutely delicious—the dosa was fresh and perfectly crispy! The rest of the food was amazing too. I ended the meal with my favorite dessert, gulab jamun—so good!
Next time you’re visiting San Francisco, make sure this restaurant is on your list.

The dosas were fresh and tasted so good, the chutney accompanying the dosas was delicious. I requested for the dosas to be less oily and the server was accommodating with my request. Medu vada was crispy and well made. Order the tandoori plate , it was alright might not go for it again.

We visited this restaurant with high expectations, especially given its name. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not meet those expectations.
Service was courteous but slow, with dishes arriving one at a time, which affected the flow of the meal. An incorrect order was initially delivered; although it was promptly replaced, it added to the overall wait time.
In terms of food quality, several items did not match the descriptions or the standards we anticipated. The sambar-dipped medu vada, vada was not dippped, they were served separately and was different from what was presented on the menu. The idlis were unexpectedly dry and firm, and the dosas were average without any standout flavor. Given the restaurant’s name, we especially looked forward to the masala dosa, but it, too, fell short of expectations. Service was courteous.

Masala Dosa Restaurant deserves a solid 5 stars! The Veg Pakoda was incredibly crispy and perfectly cooked. Tea was very refreshing, service was very fast, and the overall ambience was fantastic. A delightful dining experience worth recommending.

Sambar, sides are good! Dosa/Uthappam are decent/good, met our expectations. Tandoori flavor could be better (it didn’t meet our expectations).

The restaurant is in a good location but there was no parking space available nearby and we had to park our vehicle in a parallel street. Food was delicious but the customer service was not great. The staff at the restaurant was a bit rude. We ordered fried idli, sambar vada and chai. Everything tasted good and I especially loved their fried idli and the chutneys that came along. 4 stars for taste and only 2 stars for service.

Stopped by for a late lunch on Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was not too busy, so we got our food quickly. Had a spring dosa (vegan), an okra curry dish and chicken biryani. Everything was very delicious and tasty. The server was nice and kind, and knew the menu very well. Parking was relatively easy, there was also a MUNI stop close by. Clean area and restroom.
