Comments on: Masala Dosa review http://www.relax-with-dax.co.za/masala-dosa-review What's what - in Cape Town Tue, 07 Feb 2012 07:03:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: M http://www.relax-with-dax.co.za/masala-dosa-review/comment-page-1#comment-64010 M Sat, 24 Apr 2010 16:25:49 +0000 http://www.relax-with-dax.co.za/?p=189#comment-64010 I've eaten at Masala Dosa twice in the past couple of months. I've been avoiding it after a tasteless experience a couple of years ago. The first time I went back I had to be convinced to go. And what a wonderful eating experience! I was so impressed. Portions are just right -- I felt full but not stuffed. Had the dosa with potatoes. Delicious. Coconut sambal is also delicious. Went again last Thursday. Felt sorry for them because it was empty when we got there. But by 8pm it was completely full and buzzing. This time had the dosa with beans -- very delicious! We also had the raw salad with toasted seeds and an incredible green dressing. Prices are very reasonable and service delightful. The Sea Point branch has closed down. No wonder -- that building it was in is hideous (opp the school on Main Rd). The building should never have been allowed to be built in Sea Point. Every cafe in that building has gone out of business, no doubt because no-one wants to be in that alienating space. I’ve eaten at Masala Dosa twice in the past couple of months.

The trays contain the dosa and the empty space on the tray is used to design some sort of spices tatoo (a stencil but spices are used) There was no space for our drinks, the salad bowls, the basket with the nuts stuff or whatever snacks inside it. I totally agree with you Lauren C. Very squashed and no privacy nor space for anything other than the food trays. I loved the green salad and the dressing - the dosa was nothing wonderful at all. The lassi I ordered is much tastier if you have it at Vintage India.

If you are the kind of couple that stares into each other's eyes and says very little, you should be ok. But if you want to have private conversation you'll have more difficulty. Yes, it is tiny.
