DOSA ROYALE

New place, very good. They are quite busy and popular, so you may need reservation. Some dishes may take longer but it is worth it. The dosa is very big. Appetizers were very good, especially the vada and the mutton.

This place is very inviting. I was passing by looking for lunch options when I stumbled upon this gem of a dosa place that I would for sure frequent to more often. Alexa took great care of me! Order a chai and thank me later. It comes with a little side treat that is going to pick you up.

Yes! Love a legit dosa - the flavors took me right back to Chennai. Criticisms in earlier reviews must have been addressed, because this was a huge dosa with plenty of masala, and the chutneys and sambar were ample and very good - particularly the red chutney was delightfully tangy and smoky.

Delicious food, incredible staff (shout out Tim & Ernesto). As a GF gal, I’ll be coming back often for the dosas & Dahl makhani! Love the new location too.

Dinner here was MAGICAL. It is perfect for a warm cozy meal, servers were all kind and patient with our indecisiveness. Atmosphere is very casual, but inviting. This will become one of my go to spots in the neighborhood! I’m leaving extremely satisfied.

Authentic and delicious food every palette including those of us that can’t tolerate spice. Love that I was greeted by the owner who offered recommendations, which were spot on. Try this place!

Love this place! First time going and rhe food and vibe was great. They had South Indian dishes I haven’t seen outside of mineola or Indian and everything is really well made. Much needed Indian restaurant in the area. It can get packed so recommend making reservations

My highest ratings. The old spot was nice but this place blows it out of the water. Fantastic food and service in a nice casual (new/clean) atmosphere. Will be coming back over and over.

Yummy neighborhood standard. Dosa huge and delicious. Nice service, very reasonable prices. Strong vegan options.

This is why it's good to try things even if their ratings are mid-average. I really just didn't feel like cooking when I got off work yesterday and I remembered this spot was in the neighborhood and fairly affordable. I was super happy with the portions and overall experience and will definitely return. I also read that they have a lunch special I absolutely plan on taking advantage of. So, what did I get? I got: - Vegetable Samosas ($7) comes with 2 and 2 sauces - Sweet Potato Masala ($13) + add gunpowder seasoning ($1) - Coconut Rice Pudding ($7) The rice pudding may have been on the smaller side, but it was the perfect amount for me to where I didn't feel overstuffed. The veggie samosas were delicious and crispy and stuffed well. They were mild in flavor but a nice start to my dinner. The sweet potato dosa was HUGE, I mean just look at my pics, it took up the whole table which made me super happy. The dosa was wafer thin and delightfully crispy. I definitely want to try some of their other options. Service was standard. Interior is definitely fast-casual, it gives more of a grab and go vibe but still not bad if you dine in. Bookmark if you need to treat yourself but don't want to totally break the bank.

Ordered from here and got a long string of plastic in my butter chicken. It was also over an hour late and was ice cold when it got here. It tastes alright but the plastic was most likely from a pre-packaged bag of butter chicken sauce. Update: found another piece of plastic. Looked at some reviews about people finding hairs and other similar issues. Not ordering from here again

Perfect Sunday brunch. Food was fresh and tasty, and was fun to eat. Added an egg (+$1.50 according to menu ) and made it spicy (+$1) Didn't feel great that the prices listed on the menu for "add-on's" was half the price vs. what we were charged. We got the bill and it was a total of 20$ more than expected for the three of us. The samosa chaat was very small for $13 lol it was good but not memorable. We did get to sit outside which was nice and the perfect day for it.

Beware of ordering from here on Uber Eats. I placed an order on behalf of a friend as a gift. The delivery person didn't read my instructions, tried delivering to a neighbor instead, and then lied about completing the delivery without even giving it to the neighbors. The venue staff insisted they could nothing and that I would have to get a refund from Uber Eats. I ultimately had the re-order the whole meal, which was maybe the restaurant's intention the whole time. Uber is not offering a refund. Pretty suspicious all around.

My favorite Indian take out. Consistently fresh and tasty. I love any paneer dish and my husband loves the butter chicken.

There's not too many places you can order Dosa for delivery, so I was excited to try Dosa Royale. We ordered the original potato dosa, a sweet potato dosa, fried cauliflower and okra. The original potato dosa was amazing. The potato was seasoned perfectly, the dosa had great flavor and texture, and it was a huge portion - especially for the $12 price. I thought regular potato was substantially better than the sweet potato. On the downside, the okra was ok and the cauliflower was lacking by a lot. Order the potato dosa - it was a delicious dinner!

This place used to be one of the best spots for Indian food. But my god has their food quality fallen off the cliff. I ordered kadai chicken and it's inedible. It's just tastes like chicken with ketchup gravy. Spoiling the good name of Indian cuisine. WILL NOT ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN.

This place will help you satisfy your dosa craving. The spinach and paneer dosa was yummy. Very kind staff

Just had a delivery order from here. Terrible, possibly the worst Indian food I've ever had. Tough and chewy paratha. Soggy samosa. Thin and delicious tasteless saag paneer. Tasteless Indian food is quite the oxymoron to actualise.

I ordered take out. I ordered the spinach curry with paneer, and my partner ordered the butter chicken w/ a side of paratha. I also ordered a side of tamarind & plum chutney. The food was okay, I'm glad I ordered the tamarind chutney- it made the spinach take a lot better. The spinach was a bit over puréed for my liking. The food arrived pretty quickly.

Love their food! I've ordered their takeout a bunch of times and it never disappoints. They make some of my favorite South Indian dishes like Avial and Poriyal that I don't see on restaurant menus very often which is a huge bonus point! I'd love to taste their dosas fresh at the restaurant one day because even from a takeout box, they're great!!

I had the spinach and paneer dosa, which came with sambar and two types of chutney. I liked that the sambar had a nice balance of sweetness with the warming spice, which is how we normally make it at home. The dosa itself had a good texture: not too dry even though the dosa was huge. The only drawback is that it started to get a little soggy at the end as the spinach soaked into the dosa. The filling was spicy and flavorful. We ended up waiting a bit longer than expected for the food to come out.

Poor service, this place nickels and dimes you. I would not come here again. Very shady wait staff. Check your bill so you don't double tip.

We ordered food from this place. The saffron semiya pyasam had a layer of fungus on top.

1st time pickup at this restaurant. Masala Dosa is large and taste decent. Potatoes masala which comes with masala dosa was too salty. Sambar was sweet. I've had sambar in many South Indian restaurants and this was first time it was sweet. Portion size of sambar which comes with Masala Dosa is tiny. I had Masala Dosa in many places in NJ, NYC, and Queens, and they all provide decent portion of Sambar with Masala Dosa. So for around $14 Masala Dosa should be server with a larger portion of Samba and Sambar should not be sweet, unless this is a new twist to Sambar I never had... I live in Bensonhurst Brooklyn and would love to be able to eat South Indian food, which we have none, unless I drive downtown Brooklyn or Williamsburg. I hope some opens a good South Indian Restaurant in my area.

This place is just amazing! The food portions were huge (if you plan on ordering a dosa and a lassi then you'd likely struggle with getting a starter, even if you're splitting with a friend). Cauliflower was crispy and flavorful. The Lassi was thick in texture and rich in taste but not too sweet. The dosa was just incredible. Really crispy, ginormous in size and tasty too! Price was also very reasonable and I found the food came out relatively quick. I've since been telling all my BK friends about this place. I'll definitely be back.

Stopped by on a Thursday afternoon and was seated almost immediately with the option of inside and outside. My friend and I got the masala Dosa, Lamb Dry, and a mango lassi. The dosa here is truly on point and incredibly fresh, crispy (but with the soft goodness) and buttery. Love the spice level and was pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes. Not to mention, really great service + amazing waitress. Will definitely be back!!

Deliveries frequently have missing items, inaccurate ETAs (they send a "delayed" immediately after confirming your order, and their portion control is ridiculous. I got about 6 tiny morsels of lamb in my curry, the rest liquid. I'm happy to pay more for the meat, just the raise the price and don't cut corners.

My husband & I were craving Indian food, but didn't want to travel to Queens or Curry Hill Manhattan - so we found one within Bklyn. We ordered to share: samosa chaat, spinach paneer, tikka chicken, masala dosa. The only thing that was delicious was the masala dosa. The rest were not delicious and very mediocre. I have not been lucky to find a good Indian spot in Bklyn. Service was horrifyingly slow and staff was very inattentive. We waited for staff to come out so we could ask for the check, but after 20 minutes we went inside to ask her. There was outdoor and indoor seating but the tables were very close to one another. Cash only.

Delicious dosas, busy for Sunday brunch around 12:30pm. One server for the full restaurant- a little under staffed Everything was so yummy. Butter chicken was a bit sweet

I live in the neighborhood and really want to like this place. I've tried it a few times and I must say this is perhaps the worst dosa in NYC. It tasted like nothing and the masala was giant chunks of flavorless potato, and nothing was salted. It's really quite sad. The chutneys were good, and so was the sambar. The place probably attracts someone who has never had a dosa and, after tasting this one, never will again.

really good butter chicken, samosas, and cucumber mint lemonade! service was fast and friendly!!! cute decoration & loved the plates

We had a fantastic masala dosa and idly here for a late breakfast. It's easily the best dosa I've tried in brooklyn. The chutneys were really packed full of flavor. Chai was decent; nothing special. The server was very friendly and the food came out promptly.

I ordered take out here. I got the butter chicken and samosas. The butter chicken seemed like it was just grilled chicken in the tomato cream sauce. It also had a pretty small portion of chicken in the sauce. I had a ton of leftover sauce and was still hungry after eating the meal. The sauce had a very strong tomato flavor so I would not recommend for someone who doesn't love tomato. It was not spicy. I would also not recommend if you're very hungry. There might be more filling options. the samosas were average. They came with the mint chutney which was tasty. The tamarind sauce was a little watery but had good flavor. Overall, not a bad place for Indian food if you pick the right options.

the Marsala dosa that we got dine-in was heavenly. I've since also gotten delivery from here too, and while not as crispy, it was still as delicious. 10/10 would recommend. I'm still dreaming about it

My girlfriend and I got lunch to go last week. She recommended the paneer and spinach dosa, which was definitely a good choice. It was fresh and large and filling - even without any meat! The dosa bread was perfect for the filling as well as the classic dipping sauces. We also got samosas, which had a small kick and were also cooked really well. I loved the crisp! Delivery time was pretty surprising, so picking up was definitely the way to go. The indoor capacity is currently 15. There was no one there, though, on this given weekday.

Do NOT support these guys. I ordered delivery from then for the first time last night and my food took too long!! So after about a 1.5 hours wait after ordering, I call the place. No answer. I call again and let it ring and ring. No answer. So almost two hours in, I decide to drive up there and ask for my money back. I tried calling one more time on my way over there, and the guy finally picks up. I complain to him that, "I've waited nearly two hours for my food and why wasn't anyone answering their phone, it's very unprofessional and..." *dial tone* Dude just hung up on me! So my husband calls me right after on the other line to say the food arrived (as I was driving there and was just hung up on). So I swung back around and went home. Lo and behold, I get home, a tiny tiny bag is sitting on my kitchen counter (Mind you, my husband hates Indian food, so this was just for me and came to $28 with tax and delivery). I unwrap the poori first and lo and behold the food is cold as ice. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT support this place. Maybe it was a bad night. But the fact dude hung on me and was willing to take the "L" with a lost customer... well now, he's gonna take the "L" with a bad review.

Omg YUUUMMM!!! Delicious! This place is popular, so be prepared to wait for food/check. My boyfriend and I ordered veggie samosas, masala dosas, and the kolumbu. Each was delicious, the spices fantastic. Go here!

This is a place I'd long wanted to try, but didn't want to order delivery from, in thinking that dosa is a food that doesn't travel well. I finally made it here for dinner on a Monday night with a friend. We didn't make a reservation, but came at 6 and were seated immediately. They didn't have heaters at the time that we visited, but we bundled up in our jackets and layers so it was okay. There was one other table dining outside when we visited, but they came a little later on, so we mostly had the whole outdoor area to ourselves. As you can tell by the name, Dosa Royale specializes in dosa, an Indian bread. They do have curries on the menu, but we didn't try any of these. My friend ordered the plain dosa, while I had the mixed veggie uttapam. The dosa is more of a large, very thin flatbread served alongside dips. The uttapam was described by the server as a thicker pancake-style bread. The two breads were very different, although both were excellent. Since we are in the colder months, my preference was to have the uttapam since it was more comforting and filling to have on a cold night. The uttapam had a nice, fluffy texture, and was stuffed with vegetables. I really enjoyed this, and would come here to get it again. Prices were on the cheaper side, and service was pleasant. It's not that often that I see a specialized dosa restaurant in NYC so would definitely recommend Dosa Royale.

I have been a big fan of Dosa for many years but the last several experiences have been so bad I don't think I will come back. I order the cauliflower lasuni and spinach channa almost weekly. The last several times the quality has been awful. The cauliflower is extremely expensive and lately every time i order there are less and less cauliflower and less and less flavoring. At this point you get 2/3 less than what dosa used to give when they opened and at double, if not triple, the price. The spinach channa is practically water when before is was thick and creamy. They don't even fill the rice container fully anymore. So so disappointed. This was my favorite place to order take out from.

I met a friend from Brooklyn here. We are both South Indian dosa fans. My friend recommended the onion rava masala dosa and the shared plate okra. Both excellent recommendations. I think their rava masala is even better than adyar ananda Bhavan and Saravana Bhavan. That is saying a lot for a hard core Chennaite like me.

I LOVE this restaurant. The Dosas are to die for, and probably the best I have ever eaten. Lots of vegan options, and parking was not hard to find. The place is super clean and portions are generous. I wish I was in Brooklyn just so I could eat here again!

4 stars for the food here. Service left something to be desired but doing takeout would certainly resolve that issue :) The dosas are veryyy large so don't be fooled by thinking you should order more than just that for a meal. I had the masala dosa but the potatoes were less exciting than all of the dipping options, so maybe just a plain one will do? We also had samosas and paneer butter masala which were both solid. FYI that the butter masala is a little on the sweeter side if that matters to you. Good option for lunch!

Super bad experience, ordered online and the dosa was cold, just carelessly thrown into the box and there was a super long black hair in the mix. I threw everything into the garbage it just was inedible.

I hate people who leave negative reviews. I would never do this unless I was very unhappy. I ordered lamb, after a long day at work, and I for chicken. I tried the friendly approach. no yelp review like a jerk! but I called 5 times and i tried to email 3 times. seriously? I live around the corner. I'm rooting for you, but I'm pissed off. I work really hard to pay for fake take out. No lamb. Chicken with makeup. I'm done with Dosa Royale. Sucks, because they got the spices right, but they go cheap upon the meat. Not good. Signed, a person who hates giving negative reviews

One of THE best Indian spots IJsselmeer Brooklyn. Period. The dosas are just perfect and the curries are everything you are looking for. They don't overspice their food, so it's always perfection.

Yet another Indian restaurant in the city that's just OK and another dosa disappointment. I travelled all the way from Manhattan to Brooklyn to try their rawa masala dosa but turns out it's off their menu even though their website says they still have it. I got the masala dosa instead. The sambar was too sweet and thick, the chutney portions were too small, and the dosa itself was big but soft, lukewarm and coated with flavorless gunpowder masala. The masala chai was good but I don't think I will be coming back here despite the fact that the waitress was very sweet and attentive.

Eh... so highly recommended, but such a bad delivery experience. Some of it could be chalked up to delivery, but most of it was due to just old, tired, ill-prepared food. Very overrated...

This was fantastically tasty food, the masala dosa and the South Indian egg curry both among the best Indian food I've had in NYC. The staff were friendly helpful and not too slow, i don't understand the bad reviews this place has from people who eat in. Tho I can imagine the food won't travel as well, so don't get delivery, get yourself there in person!

Amazing dosas. Also don't sleep on the butter chicken and rotis! Absolutely phenomenal.

This place is IT. Incredibly crisp dosas, addictive rice (tamarind and coconut are too good), and good hearty curries (lamb is my favorite). Service is polite and hands-off. The only thing I would note is that the paneer in their spinach & paneer dosa is shredded, which I did not expect. Was a little sad because I love the texture of paneer cubes.

I had their food at Smorgasburg and it was really good. I expected the portions to be pretty small, but they were actually a decent size. The mango Lassi was so delicious and had the right level of sweetness, unlike some other places that are often way too sweet for my taste.

I ordered from a delivery service and the food was not that great. I wanted to throw up after seeing the dead fly on our dessert. The bag was folded and stapled shut so I know it came from the restaurant.

The ambiance at this place is truly charming with the lighting and contrasting colours. The menu is small with items from a few categories and I suggest you pick the South Indian breakfast cuisines. A fitting restaurant for a casual dine!

Came here with a friend and just tried the plain dosa and Masala dosa. They were pretty good and pretty authentic. The only time I've ever had dosas was when I was in India couple months ago, and it tasted pretty much similar. The dosas are huge! Just like in India. They were thin and crispy, and the chutneys that they were served with were flavorful. I thought one dosa wasn't gonna be enough food for me, but in the end, I was actually full/content. The Masala in the Masala dosa was ok. I also ordered the mango lassi and it was good. Full of mango flavor, and not overly sweet. It was a good blend of yogurt and mango. I recommend trying this. If I'm in the mood for dosas, I will come back again.

Dosa is just what one wants and can expect of a restaurant and the food is yum!!! I honestly forget about the place and find myself pleasantly surprised whenever i come across it :) Great hood joint! Enjoy!

Dosa Royale is the place to be for dosa lovers! I've ordered it a few times through Seamless and been impressed with the fluffiness and quality of the bread/pastry, but wasn't blown away until I ate a fresh Dosa at the restaurant. I walked by and went in for lunch and had the masala (my favorite) in the restaurant and was able to enjoy the warm fluffiness of the dosa that I wasn't getting during delivery. I've also tried the sweet potato masala, veggie samosas (delicious) and the onion rava (also delicious). The dipping sauces are really great, my favorite is a ginger one that comes with the onion rava but I like all of them. The masala is my favorite dosa but I plan to try all of them at some point. The service is great as well!

Ordered masala dosa for pickup. Though my dosa was ready on time, I didn't really enjoy it as much. The masala was bland and the sambhar was quite alright
