As part of our quest for desi food in Vancouver, we hit House of Dosas on Kingsway - the place had no ambience whatsoever, but we heard good reviews about it.
The menu had enough dosa options to justify the name, so we got all excited! We started off with the pakoras (my mum was really leery about this, she didn't think the place "looked" desi enough!), but these were among the best restaurant pakoras we've had in a while. *yum* Then we ordered several dosas - the madras masala, paneer dosa and even an uthappam - which was awesome! The dosas were slightly tart, just the way we like it. And the paper dosa was super crisp and hot.
The carrot chutney was real tasty, but the sambar left a lot to be desired - not spicy enough, and definitely lacked tamarind. The one weird thing was that they had run out of idli podi (it was called "gunpowder" on the menu :) ) - that is plain wrong! No south indian restaurant should *ever* run out of this!
And we loved that the plates were all shaped like banana leaves - in fact, we initially thought that they were serving us on fresh leaves - nice touch! :) And the waiter talked to us in Tamil, haven't heard that in a restaurant in a while! Next time, I'll have to try their rava dosa.
