"Upon first glance, Dosa Factory may seem like an Indian grocery store, but walk through the aisles of spices and past the bags of basmati and you’ll find your spot to grab a quick dosa." - Intrepid
"Madras Dosa Co., which has locations in the Seaport and Harvard Square, specializes in customizable dosas made from fermented rice and urad dal batter, which creates a crispy exterior and soft interior. You can choose from options like the classic plain dosa, masala dosa with spiced potatoes, or the thinner, crispier paper dosa, with sides such as sambar, coconut chutney, and ginger chutney. The fillings range from traditional potato and onion to more creative options like chips, fruit, chocolate chips, and Nutella. (The same team behind Madras Dosa Co. is also behind downtown’s Vaanga, where you can find quirky dishes like samosa burgers and “not the boring” idly with coconut chutney.)" - Helena Mistry
"Located in Boston’s Seaport District (55 Boston Wharf Rd.), I found Madras Dosa Co. to be a south Indian-focused, fast-casual spot where the dosa is the star: nearly 30 customizable varieties are made from a vegan, gluten-free batter of fermented rice and lentils, with fillings both savory (spicy potatoes, onions, Lay’s chips, lamb) and sweet (chocolate chips, fruits, malt, ice cream). The open kitchen also turns out idli (fluffy steamed rice-and-lentil cakes), sandwiches including a ghee grilled cheese, and a variety of chaat, while the drinks list goes beyond the usual mango lassi to include masala lassi and Indian soft drinks like Limca and Thums Up." - Eater Staff
"At Madras, the namesake dosas come large, crispy, and filled to the brim with pick-your-own stuffings like spicy potatoes, paneer, and a crunchy sprinkling of Lays. Each dosa arrives with three sauces on the side: coconut chutney, ginger chutney, and sambar. There’s also paniyaram (pan-roasted dumplings made with rice and lentils), idly (steamed rice and lentil cakes), and a variety of chaat to round out each order. There’s a second location in Harvard Square, too." - Erika Adams
"Gigantic dosas are the move at this casual, counter-service spot in the Seaport and Harvard Square. There’s a wide variety of veggie options — spicy potatoes, green chiles, and Lays potato chips, to name a few — and each dosa comes custom-stuffed with however many fillings you want." - Nathan Tavares
