Desi Dosa Madras
8859 120 St.
Delta, BC
Went out for South Indian food last weekend, and thought I would write a quick review. Desi Dosa Madras is a veg/non veg South Indian restaurant located on Scott Rd in Surrey/Delta. Unlike most South Indian Restaurants in Vancouver, the place has more of an upscale, refined feel, yet, the prices are kept very reasonable, and the cuisine offered is quite thorough. Everything from Biryani to Dosa to Uttapam to Idlis to Coffee is offered, and if you so desire, alcoholic drinks may also be ordered.
I must say, I was highly unimpressed with the service. Our order was not taken correctly, it took forever to get a seat, despite the fact the restaurant was half empty, and the waitress seemed to be a bit snooty. However, the lack of quality service is made up for by the plentiful food, the taste and the prices. I must say of all the South Indian restaurants I have been to in Vancouver, this place probably offers the best 'bang for your buck', as the food is tasty, and so plentiful that you can hardly finish it.
Be prepared to be frustrated by the service, but otherwise, definitely worth a check out.

I visited this place with my husband and my son last night. There was no one to greet us at the first place. Then a guy came, no Hi no hello, just walked us to our seats and gave us menu book. We ordered our dosas and the food came after 15 min of wait. One of the dosas was "cold" not even warm. It was cold that no one could eat it. I told the server that dosa is so cold and does not seem fresh. The server abrupty and rudely said that they make fresh dosas and it cant be cold. I told him to try it. He took my plate inside and came back without my plate after about 10 min of wait that the chef has refused to make another fresh dosa for me and I have to eat that. I told him i am not going to eat cold food and especially when it has gone inside once. He was so rude and arrogant. I asked him abt what time the manager works here bcz I found that quite insulting when they refused to make dosa. On being asked abt manager he said he doesnt know what time manager works. I told him how I felt abt this episode and he did not even apologize. I left the place hungry and thinking that I will never visit this place again. The service sucks and food was cold. The staff is not respectful to their customers and seems like they dont care about the reputation of their business.
