About Masala Dosa
Masala dosa is a thin, crisp crepe made from fermented rice and lentil batter, folded around a spiced potato filling. It comes from Karnataka and is now eaten everywhere.
Regional versions
Mysore masala dosa has a red chili and garlic chutney spread inside. Udupi restaurants make it golden and crisp with plenty of ghee, and paper masala dosa is rolled extra long and thin.
What to order with it
It always comes with sambar and coconut chutney. Add a filter coffee, and a medu vada if you are hungry.

How this list is made
We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
Missing a place, a dish or a closure? Tell us and we will fix it.
