Chennai Dosa

Deb Dubendorff

The dosa excellent. The sambar had a great flavor, very authentic. I grew up in south India and am very happy to find a place with authentic foods and flavors! I will be back for sure.

I visited Chennai Dosa for the first time today. I am not Indian but I love Indian food, especially more authentic and spicier. Decided to try their weekend lunch buffet. Very tasty and excellent variety, both vegetarian and meat dishes. Mutton Kadai and chicken curry were outstanding. Restaurant was very clean. Owners were very friendly. Overall cozy atmosphere and great food! Highly recommend this place.

This has been the absolute best Indian food I ever had. Food is authentic. flavors are fantastic. The chutneys were good. They have a large selection of food on the menu. I highly recommend this place 10/10. Me and my foodie friend will come back a second time !

One of the best Tamil Nadu style restaurants in this area! Amazing South Indian flavors with both veg and non-veg options. The food tasted very fresh and authentic, especially the non-veg gravies and Tamil Nadu style spices. Service was quick and staff were polite. Clean place and good portion sizes. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Tamil Nadu food. - Sudheer and Sindhu ❤️

Excellent food and service! Really enjoyed the food we ordered! It was my Dad’s bday and the restaurant went above and beyond to make it a truly memorable occasion! Thank you ‘ Chennai Dosa’ - we will definitely come back.

We were a party of 4 plus kids and had lunch here on a late Wed afternoon. Absolutely amazing tasting food and very friendly staff. Among the 4 of us we ordered a couple of apps - the podi idly and gobi Manchurian - both really good, and the Manchurian was a must have! Main course we tried the mysore masala dosa which was good, but the Chana bhatura and parotta korma were outstanding. Authentic South Indian tastes and everything was freshly made. Heads up the food make take a little longer to come out so be prepared but it is because they make everything fresh which makes it so worth the wait. Must try!

I went here with my family, and was thoroughly surprised by how good the food was. I recommend the dosa (obviously), chicken 65, and the mutton. The customer service was also very good! Our waiter gave us great recommendations and was always nearby to help us. We were also able to sample dishes even if we didn’t get them. The atmosphere was calm and pleasant. All in all I totally recommend this place!

Authentic South Indian food and friendly service. Extremely flavorful with no extra or less spices. Everything was just right and perfect!

Large variety of excellent dishes. I was pleasantly surprised to see many dishes you don’t often find in Indian restaurants. I tried something new and was very good. The service was good and prices are very affordable.

Very excellent food quality and so delicious. I haven't been able to find this kind of food in Tampa so far. Very friendly staff and service was good and we emotionally connected this food we recommend this all indian food.

Absolutely loved the buffet! The authentic Chennai-style biryani was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The chicken fry was crisp and delicious, and the mutton curry was simply amazing—rich, tender, and full of traditional taste. And wow, the atta halwa was outstanding and a perfect way to end the meal. All in all, a superb buffet experience with great flavors and quality. Highly recommended! Forgot to mention here I had one of the best filter coffee in a while..a must visit!!!!

This place really feels like home. The dosa is perfectly crispy, soft inside, and full of authentic Chennai taste. Sambar is rich and flavorful, not watery like many places, and the chutneys taste freshly made – especially the coconut chutney, semma taste 👌 You can feel that the food is cooked with care, just like amma makes at home. Proper South Indian flavor, not overdone, not bland – just right. Even the idli and vada are soft, fresh, and satisfying. Clean place, good service, and very comforting food. If you’re missing real Tamil Nadu style food, this is the place to go. Definitely one of the best South Indian restaurants around. Highly recommended!

Delicious! Lively restaurant with fantastic food. Service was fast and respectful. Ordered the Onion Pakoda with the Butter Chicken curry. The onions were crispy and tasty. The Butter Chicken was incredible! Perfect amount of spice and packed with flavor. 10/10 would recommend. Paired it with a Diet Coke

Great Place we stumbled upon while driving around. The food was excellent and Ruben made our visit very pleasant. He gave us a couple recommendations to try and they were phenomenal. This place is as authentic as it gets. I say best Indian restaurant in town so far.

Benny Morrison

Fantastic South Indian food. We haven't found many places around that have upma at all much less great upma. Now they have a very reasonably priced weekend breakfast buffet that includes dosas and upma and the upma was absolutely fantastic. We love this place - we loved the dal fry and the tomato chutney is amazing. We'll be back often.

Food was really good and tasty. Felt home flavor and no added essence or colors. We reached at the closing time still then they accommodated us. Everyone is so nice in the restaurant , customer service was really really good.

The buffet was excellent, and the staff went out of their way to make it a very pleasant experience. The food tasted authentic and homemade, and there were a multitude of options. The staff was very attentive and the owner was very sweet. The fish and the pakora were especially delicious.

Loved the breakfast buffet!!! The breakfast variety in Indian cuisine is so versatile and healthy, we were thrilled to finally come across this restaurant that offers the breakfast option over weekends. Affordable price per person. The food taste was authentic. All the 3 Chutneys tasted so fresh and onpoint. Dosas are part of the buffet and made to order (plain dosa, masala dosa) The masala chai and filter coffee is must try

Nostalgic & Heartfelt: I If you are looking for a true taste of home, this is it. We had the Biryani made with authentic Seeraga Samba rice, and the aroma alone took us straight back to India. The flavor was spot on. We also tried the Masala Dosa and Sambar—it’s rare to find a place where the sambar tastes exactly like a home-cooked meal. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving genuine South Indian flavors!

Great restaurant, first time visitor. Food was very nice. Their dosa was fresh and very satisfying with their chutney. Had a chicken kadai that was well flavored. Definitely give this place a try if you have a hankering for Indian food. I'm told they have buffet at breakfast and lunch on weekends but I havent tried that. Yet. I will be stopping by again soon.

Nowhere near Madras taste. Biryani was more like fried rice, over fried Vada. Very near to Temple and good customer service

We went there for dinner because had a decent experience for their breakfast buffet. 1. service was lacking. No utensils given at the time of order. Need to have menus and utensils ready upon seating.Mind you, they had only one table (6patron) at the time we wales in with 2 staff. 2. Refill. Had to waive down for water refill. Just give us larger glass. No one came back and asked if our food was satisfactory. 3. Rava dosa wasn’t crispy and on top of that, one part was covering the sambhar so it got soggy. 4. Paneer masala dosa. I requested masala on the side. The staff that served, accidentally hit something and sambhar spilled in to dosa making it extremely wet. And instead of panner, it was filled with onion. Asked why and she said next time ask without onion. HOWEVER, there is no mention of having onions in the description. Felt like I got duped. 5. Not a standard idlis. 1/2 the size. 6. Redemption. I voiced my concerns and they wanted to not charge for Paneer dosa. I declined and stated that that was not the point I was trying to make. As a new restaurant, I wanted to let staff know how to give a proper service to patrons.
