Tasty

Our paper dosa were slightly burnt but still so tasty, I especially liked the daal which was thicker than you usually get here.
We also ordered the thali for dinner which was enormous! Meant to be for 2 people but we ate around half and got the rest to take away. The waiter assured us all the dishes were vegan and substituted the curd which wasn’t. Very good value for money.

Pros: Great service , Good value for money

Not the very best

The food wasn't the best I have tried. The dosa wasn't hot and the curry were cold. One of the staff wasn't friendly. He got somehow frustrated when we didn't tip him (which we didn't know and thought we didn't have to because it wasn't a culture in Sri Lanka).

Good, busy, well-priced

Enjoyed the break from rice and curry and expensive western food 😅
Chef cooked our dosa without any oil (my favourite - healthier, vegan, and crrrispy). We ate upstairs and had lovely chats to the diners. Nice, casual vibe to the place and decent dosa.

Good, filling food

Not really a restaurant, more like a street bar. Very informal and basic setting. The food is very good and filling. Friendly service

Favourite meal in Sri Lanka

This place was so good. The food was delicious and the restaurant was full of locals. The staff didn't speak much English but understood we wanted no ghee or yoghurt. We both had different dosai and were stuffed and happy by the time we left. It was also ridiculously cheap.

Pros: So flavourful, Cheap, Full of locals

Cons: None!

Extremely friendly and cheap

This was one of our cheapest meals we had on our Sri Lanka trip! And it was super delicious. The staff was extremely friendly and when we asked about vegan things he tried to help us and then asked the chef and came back to give us infos about everything. I can recommend this place if you want to enjoy local cuisine!

Really fair price for very good food

We had some really good Dosa here. The waiter was really friendly and helpful. He even checked in the kitchen which Dosa are for sure vegan, what I really apreciated. Also it's not expensive at all, eventhough it's at a really good location.

Amazing dosa and other things

Love it here. They have so many vegan staff and the people understand vegan. The taste was amazing! You can also have something without chili. Recommended!

Nice dosa and combos at a good price

Nice, small South Indian pure veg place located near the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, right across the street from Balaji.

Came here a few times while I was in Kandy. Had dosa (all good stuff, if a little oily) and the combo, which came with rice, uttapam, sambol, chana masala (?), dal, one dal vada, and a sweet. Low prices for all.

Most of the staff didn't speak a lot of English, but they were very helpful nonetheless. They confirmed that nothing had dairy in it, and even made the point to explain everything that was in the sweet (which I was most concerned about, as they often contain butter or condensed milk).

Just a nice, straightforward place in Kandy for any meal of the day.

Dol blij om een goede massala dosa te eten!

Bij toeval kwamen wij bij dit heerlijke vegetarisch restaurant met genoeg vegan opties, heerlijk gegeten en eindelijk weer een een heerlijk massala dosa gegeten met een lekkere verse fruit Juice

Pros: Veel vegan opties, Lekker eten, Aardige mensen

Cons: Beetje ongezellig t.l licht maar ach.

Basic, filling, and cheap

Fully vegetarian restaurant, plenty of vegan options. I tried the paper dosa - would recommend to stick to a normal thickness dosa, the paper dosa was quite oily. Yesterday we tried the other veg dosa shop a couple doors down, my friends said they preferred the dosas here but the curries at the other place. We've had better curries but these ones were still filling, although basic.

Accidents Will Happen

We went here accidentally, I'd used the app to see there was a dosa place very close to our hotel, I spotted the place from across the street but once I'd crossed the busy road I just saw 'vegetarian' on the window and went in, it wasn't until after we'd ate and left that I realised the one I'd meant to go in was two doors down on the same street. The server was excellent and advised what was vegan, my girlfriend was craving a dosa but I went for the lunch set at 250 rupees. The masala dosa was big and delicious but spicy, my lunch set was great consisting of a mini onion pancake, 3 curries, a spicy donut type thing and a pineapple flavoured sweet. In the evening we went to the other dosa place but the next day we came back to this place as we preferred it. Great value and great food.

Pros: Vegan options, Reasonably priced big portions
