Dosa Factory - Vancouver, British Columbia

We came from Toronto and found the best authentic South Indian spot . The food was amazing we had the best ever Kara Kolambu and the owners are very friendly. Their parotta are to die for and the non-veg curries and starters are spicy and yum.

Hands down, the best Indian restaurant in Vancouver!!! Amazing food, and very sweet and friendly servers. Amazing deals as well such as Dosa and Biriyani nights. My absolute favorites are Goat/Beef Ghee Roast, Lamb Vindaloo Dosa, Mixed Seafood Dosa, and Chicken 65 Biriyani. Satisfies spice needs, and plenty quantities. ☺️

Atmosphere - Went for lunch on a Saturday at the peak time but it was completely empty. Maybe they get more orders for take out. But it was really dull and un-happening. Nothing much to look forward on that front really. Food - Gunpowder idli - It was good. Nothing out of ... the world. Just how it’s supposed to be. Glad they did it right. Mysore masala dosa - It was really good. The dosa size is also quite big. The masala (asked for masala on the side) was tasty as well. Although the sambhar and the chutneys they serve are only enough for maybe 5-6 big dips with the dosa (they give 1 free refill but chutneys are still not enough). Khara butter masala dosa - The menu says that it is very spicy but my Indian palette did not find it spicy. Infact, I could taste a lot of ketchup in the dosa, which left a really bad taste in the mouth. Don’t get me wrong, it is spicy (not very spicy) but the insane amount of ketchup balances the spiciness. I think they should not label this as a “very spicy” dosa. Service - One thing South Indian restaurants are popular for is the quick service they offer. However, this place was a massive disappointment. There was no staff in the dining area. After waiting for a while for the staff to come out from the kitchen, I had asked for a refill of the sambhar and chutney, but did not get it. The next time I had to order something, I could not find the servers again and I had to walk down to the kitchen and place the order. And this happened once more after that. So if you’re looking for good service, then please look elsewhere. Hit or miss place - Based on this lone experience, I think you would not lose out on much if you give this place a miss. Read more
