​Dosas in Chennai

A trip to any South Indian state is incomplete without having a taste of possibly the most quintessential food of the area - dosa. Dosa is not just symbolic of South India, but it also doubles as one of the many foods that constitute the Indian cuisine. Of course, no place in India can replicate the authentic and traditional taste of dosa like South Indian states can, and Chennai is a city that is no stranger to providing the most mentally and gastronomically wholesome dosas. A big city where dosa is a staple, it is hard to shortlist restaurants that are the best at dosa-making. But after hours and hours of scrutiny, here are here are 10 restaurants in Chennai that serve the best dosa.

Vrindavan Restaurant, Mylapore

Serving a mix of North Indian, South Indian, and Chinese cuisine has proven to be no obstacle for Vrindavan Restaurant, which has maintained its standard of serving high quality dosas. Each dosa in the menu has its own delectable flavour, and coupled with sweet sambar and chutney, the meals are irresistable. (Image: Instagram/vrindavanfoodvilla)

Sangeetha Veg Restaurant, Adyar

This pure vegetarian restaurant is so well famed that it has 29 outlets across the city. Offering a huge menu, the quality of exquisitely prepared dosas like a crispy version of onion rava dosa surpasses many restaurants that serve dosa. (Image: Instagram/mukasash)

Hotel Palmgrove, Nungambakkam

Menaka serves a host of mouthwatering dosas to make your stay happier and more food-centric. One of the highlights of Hotel Palmgrove, dosas like Ghee Roast dosa and Masala dosa are worth your money and your stay at the hotel. (Image: Instagram/road_on_my_plate)

Ratna Cafe, Triplicane

Ratna Cafe is one of the finest examples of value for money. At a modest price of Rs. 50, you can get your hands on one of the tastiest dosas in all of Chennai. (Image: Instagram/basheer_gulsum)

Prem’s Graama Bhojanam, Adyar

With an inventory consisting of only a handful of dosas, Prem’s Graama Bhojanam has done an exceptionally good job to stand out as one of the best dosa serving restaurants in Chennai. Minimalistic in terms of variety, the focus of this place is strictly on quality. (Image: Instagram/prems.graama.bhojanam)

Mathsya, Egmore

Influenced by Udupi tastes and flavours, Mathsya serves food that is rich with Udupi influences, including dosas like neer dosa that is ultra light and can be folded in the palm of your hand. (Image: Instagram/mathsyarestaurant)

Krishna Restaurant, Mylapore

Located next to the Madras Music Academy, Krishna Restaurant is not only a hotspot around the time of concerts and performances, but it is a popular place to dine pretty much all year round. The crisp dosas garnished with ghee and served with chutney make for some of the best dosas you can eat in Chennai. (Image: Instagram/mukasash)

ID, Royapettah

Short for idli dosa, ID is one of the most beloved restaurants in the city. Apart from offering delicious dosas, ID also offers some well curated dosas in the form of unique preparations and allowing customers to choose their own toppings and fillings. (Image: Instagram/jiniya_anaya)

10/11

Murugan Idli, Besant Nagar

Murugan Idli certainly makes some of the best idlis in the city, and the dish even finds a spot in the name of the restaurant. However, Murugan Idli even makes some of the most wicked dosas that not only taste good, but smell good too. Served with equally delicious chutneys, the dosas here are a true delight.

Eating Circles, Alwarpet

Serving a wide array of delicious dosas including many that have crafted based on the Kannada cuisine, Eating Circles is a self-serve restaurant whose dosas like Mysore Masala Dosa and red rice dosa will make any native of Karnataka feel like home. (Image: Instagram/chennaifoodhub)

The Author seems to have compiled data in a hurry burry without proper research ( Vrindhavan and Krishna are same group of Wood lands and offer the same dishes, how can they have two different ranking ), Prems USP is not mentioned at all, from when do we get dosas at Ratna for such cheap pricing !
