Last night, the family and I went to Dosa in our continuing attempt to complete the 7x7 magazine's "100 things to eat and drink before you die" quest. Dosa serves mainly south Indian cuisine...I guess that means "spicy." Man, I declare this is my favorite Indian resto. I'm sure there are purist/detractors who will state that the food at Dosa is derivative but I like it. We had the samosas and the paper masala for appetizers. Very nicely done. The samosas were nothing too special and bit a of a rip off for the price. The masala was another story. True to its advertisement, it was paper thin and crisp. It came with a tomato and coconut chutneys, curried potatoes and sambar(a tastey lentil dipping soup!). This could be a meal in itself. By the time our main courses came, we were full but carry on we must wayward son. I had the Goan prawns with dahi rice (rice with yoghurt) and Wifey had the chicken korma. In my palate, this place can do no wrong. The Goan prawns were spicy as they stated but the yoghurt helped to soothe the tongue. What a killer balance. This is the one time where you don't have to ask for extra hot sauce. Wifey said I should get it "Indian spicy" next time....er, we'll see if the life insurance policy is paid up during our next visit. The chicken korma was mildly spicy and full on savory. The pic you see is what is left over from the dinner. Fortunately for me, Wifey was too full so I got to eat the rest of her dish for lunch today. Good today as it was yesterday. If you're in the mood for some good (probably Americanized) Indian food, you can't go wrong with Dosa. See you there!

Hey. Thanks for the review. Debbie and I have wanted to try this place for a while. We'll let you know what we think-
Btw, if you're ever in Berkeley on a Sat or Sun, try Vic's Chaat Corner at/around 4th and Allston Way. They make a delicious masala dosa.
