Dosa House

"There are more than 40 varieties of dosas at the bustling casual-counter service place, where you’ll find families gathered at long tables to accommodate the massive dishes. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the choices—including Indian-Chinese fusions like the noodle dosa—but quantity doesn’t dilute the quality. If you only have room for a couple, get the Chettinad dosa with its tender potato filling and hints of cardamom, alongside the onion chili version for some spice. And fill your table with a few sides like the paani poori that’s so flaky and delicate it should be served on a tiny velvet pillow." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente

"Dosa House owner Ajay Kumar says he owns the only Indian fast-food restaurants in the Seattle area: Chaat House, Curry House and Dosa House. They’re also all 100% vegetarian and all in Bellevue. Dosa house serves a wide variety of dosas, including the classic potato-stuffed masala dosa and an Indo-Chinese “Schezwan Noodle Dosa” (stuffed with spicy, greasy chow mein) for around $10, and all of them are served with tomato, coconut and peanut chutneys, a side of sambar (lentil soup) and kheer (sweet milk with vermicelli) for dessert." - Alicia Erickson, Eater Staff

"Bellevue’s Dosa House is packed late into the night with people speaking Hindi and eating affordable, satisfying dosas and other vegetarian Indian snacks, but the restaurant is largely unknown outside of the Eastside. Most of the dosas, which all come with some sides, are only around $11. The potato-filled masala dosa is a good choice, as is the schezwan dosa, an Indo-Chinese fusion dish filled with what tastes like spicy chow mein." - Eater Staff

If you only have room for a couple, get the Chettinad dosa with its tender potato filling and hints of cardamom, alongside the onion chili version for some spice.
