Dosa Royale

"We cannot think of a better followup to voting in Clinton Hill than sitting in Dosa Royale’s outdoor patio, admiring the brownstones in the distance, and eating masala dosa filled with curry potatoes. If you’re looking for something spicier, get the rava masala dosa. Dosa Royale is open for lunch and dinner every day." - hannah albertine, nikko duren

"This is a neighborhood spot in Clinton Hill that has some of the best South Indian food in Brooklyn. There’s plenty of space to eat indoors, and the outdoor patio has nice views of nearby brownstones. If you like the sound of curry potatoes covered in flaky crust, get the masala dosa. For something spicier, go for the rava masala dosa. These dishes are on par with what you’ll find at Indian spots in Manhattan, except you can enjoy them in a space that never feels packed.

"This is a neighborhood spot in Clinton Hill that has some of the best South Indian food in Brooklyn. Come here with that lonely Pratt professor who’s interested in paying you to teach him about the dark web. If you decide to come with a large group instead, there’s plenty of space to eat indoors, plus the outdoor patio has nice views of nearby brownstones. If you like the sound of curry potatoes covered in flaky crust, get the masala dosa. For something spicier, get the rava masala dosa. These dishes are on par with what you’ll find at Indian spots in Manhattan, except you can enjoy them in a space that never feels packed. This means you can probably sit several feet away from other tables and explain your dark web secrets without worrying about someone eavesdropping." - Nikko Duren

"It was a brilliant idea to jazz up the South Indian vegetarian dosa menu a bit, adding unexpected fillings like sweet potato, then adding other non-vegetarian fare from South India and North India to the mix. This Fort Greene restaurant also does a good job of reproducing such southern standards as Chennai fish, Chettinad chicken, and eggplant kulambu and lamb pepper fry, both from Kerala." - Robert Sietsema

"South Indian cuisine, by its nature, uses minimal gluten products. Dosa Royale in particular knocks out stellar dosas, which are made from rice and black lentils. The Clinton Hill restaurant started as a Smorgasburg vendor, filling dosas with curry, carrots, cabbage, paneer, and more. Nearly all of the dosa options come gluten-free, as do many of the curry and kebab entrees." - Eater Staff, Elizabeth Myong
