Vast vegetarian dosa cafe with 118 permutations, fusion fillings
"The name of the game is all there in Dosa Express’ signage. Depending on the time, you’ll more than likely see a handful of solo diners at the basic Sri Lankan dosa spot, filling that 3pm urge with masala dosa or patiently waiting alongside crowds of friends and family outside for takeaway pani puri. Come in the day and you’ll more likely have space to breathe. The menu is extensive but you’re best off sticking to the dosa. Bronzed and crispy, with a comfortingly stodgy masala filling, you’re unlikely to be disappointed by this lunchtime fix. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute" - Jake Missing
"The Schezwan Masala Dosa combines the classic masala dosa elements — thick coconut chutney, loosely mashed spiced potatoes and crisp, lacy edges — with a tangy Indo-Chinese kick, giving the familiar dosa a piquant, craveable twist." - Sean Wyer
"Wembley Stadium The menu at Dosa Express is vast and might be a little daunting — it is more readily and authoritatively condensed in our ‘cheap’ eats guide, but further recommendations might be the butter masala dosa, which tastes very similar to the one served at the Indian Coffee House in Shimla, north India, and the spectacular rava cheese and onion dosa. With Tottenham finally decamped, pay a visit after watching England’s new young stars. Dosa Express must and will endure." - Josh Barrie
"It’s possible to play dosa bingo at this self-service cafe located in the back of a Wembley mini mall, where the menu is arrayed on the wall in 100 sheets of A4 paper, each option a variant of dosa. Take a number and settle into the chaos. Try the traditional — Mysore masala, onion or chutney — the frugal — butter or ghee — the desi-Chinese — stuffed with chilli paneer, Schezwan masala — or the bizarre — chocolate, banana and ice cream. More importantly, make sure to chase it all with rich almond cashew milk, which is golden yellow and sweet as burfi." - Jonathan Nunn
"It’s business as usual for the Indian restaurant that’s tucked away in the back of a mini mall in Wembley. Due to new government guidelines, sit-in and self-service has been replaced with takeaway and delivery via Just Eat and Uber Eats. Don’t fret though: the entire dosa gang is still available, all 90+ options. Whether it’s something traditional like the onion, ghee and masala or Desi Chinese such as schezwan, mysore chop suey mix and chilli paneer, work through the list and order ‘em all like a game of Dosa Pokemon Go." - Angela Hui
