Dosa on Valencia - San Andreas

I enjoyed my birthday dinner at Dosa with my boyfriend. The experience could not have been better. It was my first time to the restaurant. I ate from the prefix menu. It was able to try a variety of dishes from the menu. I'm a vegetarian and although the restaurant is not vegetarian, there are numerous and delicious vegetarian options. One aspect I really appreciated was the knowledge our server had about each dish and wine paired with it. He informed us why the wine was selected, where it originated and what to expect in terms of taste when pairing it with the cuisine. Since it was my first time to Dosa I appreciated the care our server took in explaining how each dish was prepared. I should note that the restaurant is small and the tables are close together, so it doesn't feel terribly intimate or romantic. But, that wasn't an issue to me. I will certainly be returning to this city gem I don't think I'd call it a neighborhood gem but rather a city gem.

Best service I have received at a restaurant in a long time. The server was extremely friendly and took time to explain dishes and even helped pick out a couple we might like based on our tastes. We ordered dishes for two people) and it was more than enough food. The server staggered the order so that there were essentially two courses! The food was excellent; very flavorful and cooked perfectly.

Always enjoy the meal at Dosa on Valencia and on Fillmore. Prefer the atmosphere on Fillmore. Valencia is a bit crowded. The large Dosa was crispy and delicious. We also had a chicken dish and the lamb chops. Both were well prepared and nicely served. Especially enjoyed the coconut rice. The lemon rice was good too.

Dosa was good, very accomodating to my reservation change. I would go again, its loud though .

Had a good time. Good choice of food items. Great, tasty food.
