Amazing things heard about these guys food. Trying for the first time this late. Thank these guys for opening until 3:00AM
Super yummy and filling dosa spot in Boston! Quick service, mainly takeout option with great sauces. Service is super fast and perfect for a solid lunch in Seaport. Not much sit in options/space. Wish i got the pani puri too.
Highly recommend! The Idli Sambar I had was delicious. So was the Masala Dosa with Paneer. The staff was friendly and gave us great suggestions when we asked them.
Just a tourist through Boston seaport district. First night, late night dining on South Indian food. We are newbies with South Indian cuisine. Just ordered random stuff and it was pretty good. Failure on our part, came to a dosa restaurant but did not order any dosa, our bad. Overall thank you for the wonderful experience. Oops forgot to take a picture
We were quite hungry late on a weekday night when we discovered that we're a mile away from Madras Dosa. Not being from Boston, we had to do a double take on the timings since it was 11 pm on a Monday night and the restaurant was supposedly opened until 2 am (umm what?) -- this isn't something that we are used to. While we found a street parking spot outside the restaurant, it was surprising to find a line to order when we entered. We were warned there's going to be a 20 min wait for Dosas and 45 mins for a sandwich . There's limited seating inside but there are some tables outside the spot as well. We ordered the Pav Bhaji Dosa, Samosa Dosa and Spicy Podi Idli. The packaging and the chutney / sambhar dispenser in the to-go box was novel and well thought out. The Pav Bhaji dosa was amazing along with the fibrous chutney. The Podi Idli lived up to its name as well. The only miss in our book was the Samosa Dosa -- would have tasted better if the samosa was smashed more. We also liked our dosas crispy but these definitely weren't. All in all, we are grateful for finding this place and wouldn't hesitate to return again when we are in town looking for a quick snack.
Consistently tasty and more importantly very authentic south Indian food! I have a high bar for idlis and these are some of the best. Soft fluffy and quite a good size too. The coconut chutney was also very fresh and yummy! The only gripe I have is with the spiciness of the sambar. While the sambar itself was very tasty it was just too spicy. I really wish they had options to select mild, medium or spicy when ordering. My suggestion to the restaurant - either make the sambar less spicy or offer the option to have it on the mild side - please :). Ordered through GrubHub and it took a while but the driver apologized profusely for the delay. Some of the food was lukewarm or cold as a result but still tasty. Have ordered from here multiple times now and have enjoyed all the food. Overall great experience!
Food here was delightful! My first time trying dosa and paani puri was so exciting, glad I came with a friend who taught me how to eat paani puri otherwise I would have eaten it all wrong. Paani puri has a crispy outer shell and it's filled with potato, onions, and crispies (not exactly sure what they're made of). You pour some of the liquid into the shells, and place the whole ball into your mouth. The whole bite with the mint water was so refreshing and an explosion of flavors! I came back a couple days later to enjoy paani puri again :) highly recommend!
Why 5 stars? -delicious. I had the paneer with upma on the side. Samosa was also A+. You'll receive multiple sauces with the food - open until 2am!!! Who knew dosa would be so therapeutic and soak up the residual and excessive cocktails?? - reasonably priced for being in a generally overpriced area - prompt and courteous service There's limited indoor seating.
