DOSA on Fillmore

Indian restaurant · Japantown

@eater

"One of the most iconic Indian restaurants in San Francisco, and now with a spinoff location in Oakland, Dosa specializes in South Indian cuisine. Its namesake dish, dosa, is a crepe-like pancake made of rice and lentils, stuffed with a number of options and served alongside chutneys, fresh coconut, and sambar. If you’re at the Valencia location, try the habañero-mango masala dosa, with a habañero chile chutney. The heat builds and builds, but with a wonderful fruity warmth behind it. And you can’t miss the mixed chile uttapam — a thicker pancake served with four different kinds of chiles. If (when?) the heat catches up to you, don’t forget to order a side of cooling cucumber-yogurt raita." - Sam Chapple-Sokol
