Chennai Dosa Southampton in Southampton

Utterly charming and helpful man in charge. We went for lunch on a Thursday and we were the only non- Indians in the restaurant. A good sign. Food was delicious and was presented beautifully. Other customer's plates of food looked similarly good and enticing. What a good place to eat proper Indian food supervised by the wonderful man in charge. Go there, you will be entranced.

We love the dosas here and try to come here every week for a dosa. Best in town, we reckon!! The chutneys are our favourite, and love that they are all vegan friendly. Highly recommend if you want a traditional dosa experience! Spoken from someone who lived in India!

We popped in for a quick meal on a Saturday evening. What can I say? I think the term authentic shouldn't be used by white English who've never been to the subcontinent! But I am making the assumption that this is probably the closest one would get to good South Indian food. Great quality food, good service and fast. Just right.

Underwhelming experience. We were open-minded despite the décor and lack of atmosphere. But the food was a disappointment. Too salty, not as described on the menu (mine supposedly should have cashewnuts in it). I wouldn't recommend it and we won't be back.

I was shocked how good the dosa was. Must try,

Excellent food and ambience especially service was great.

Had a good time great atmosphere and vibe too Recommend for non vegetarian tandoor and dosa aswell, for service we will get quick amal Lokesh and sai pavan was really helpful for recommending dishes

5 Stars – A Delightful Experience Every Time! As a regular customer at Mint Dosa, I can confidently say this place never disappoints! Whether it’s the flavorful dosas, the perfectly spiced curries, or the refreshing chutneys, the food is always fresh, authentic, and absolutely delicious. The staff is warm, welcoming, and go above and beyond to ensure every meal is a great experience. The atmosphere is cozy, making it perfect for both a quick bite or a relaxed meal with family and friends. I also appreciate the consistency in quality – no matter how many times I visit, the food is always top-notch. If you’re looking for a fantastic South Indian meal with excellent service, Mint Dosa is a must-visit! Highly recommended.

We ordered veg noodles and veg manchurian, the noodles were uncooked and tasteless, we also asked them to make it spicy instead both the items tasted sweet and it was tasteless.

Small restaurant with small, good food. Very Italian-style, but with very economical portions - three courses fill you up, but the main course barely fills you up. The food is simple but tasty - just unusually little.

The restaurant stands out not only for its mouthwatering food but also for its friendly and attentive staff. The well-maintained, clean environment adds to the overall positive experience, making Mint Dosa a must-visit for anyone craving authentic and flavorful Indian cuisine in Southampton.

I'd ordered a Podi Dosa, and it not just lived up to my expectations, but surpassed it frankly. Thoroughly relished my meal, I think I'll keep coming here often !

driver was awful ,bad attitude ,zero respect deserves negative reviews

The food we ordered was extremely delicious, especially the Mysore masala Dosa and Chana Bhatura. Also, the staff is very kind and generous. a must visit place👍🏻

When we went to this restaurant in the morning, there was a breakfast buffet. But there was not enough food to eat. Taste is average.

I have been to this place many times and tried several forms of dosas, chicken dishes that are served there. All of the dishes are excellent and chicken masala dosa is a speciality of this restaurant. On my latest visit to this restaurant I noted they have started adding service charge to the bill. I am not sure if this is compulsory as I noticed it after making the payment. I was not pleased with this new charge as this was not there during my earlier visits. Also they have started incentives for tagging them on social media which is again something new!!!

Really nice food. Good South Indian food .

Dosa are very good but I don’t recommend garlic naan they are soak in too much butter.

Went this evening, this is not by far a five star restaurant, but it does serve five star Indian street food for an excellent price. Yes is rough and ready but look beyond that and the food is spectacular…. Can only recommend Had to do another review since my last visit last week. Slow service, great food, but the gents toilets were a disgrace, mid afternoon both urinals out of order, and for a long time by the looks of it. The seat on the toilet was grim and the seat was not properly attached to the floor. Will never go back which is a shame.

It was a waste of money. Please don't go there. I'm a 40 person. I know what I did order I tried twice last week but unfortunately it was waste of money. No good food. Thank you very much. Go there if you want to waste your money. Thank you

Service is too good … Best for for South Indian Food 🥘

Best indian restaurant in southampton and the taste is really good

Highly recommend 😋😋😋 especially mutton biryani

Delivery was fast but found it had no flavour just very spicy, nan bread was wet, small portions and the panner tasted old.

Food was really good but the wait time is a bit too slow

We had a very good food 2 times. Also the service was very efficient

Lovely atmosphere. Amazingly delicious food. Friendly staff. Neat toilets. So it was really a good experience. It's excellent hence 4 star. One staff member was smiley and welcoming. The other was not so welcoming. But the food is great. We went back again and had the same level of delicious food and the service was warm and welcoming. The price was even reasonable and worth the food. We had a plate of idli vada, gobi 65, tea, schezwan fried rice, paneer butter masala with plain parotta, and finally Rasmalai. They were yummm. This is a go to place for me in Southampton. Day-2 update... We loved it so much that we went the next day for lunch again. We had a plate of idli, Mysore masala dosa, ghee roast podi dosa, as usual tea, and gulab jamun. The jamun were like home made instead of the store brought ones. Perfect sugar consistency and smoothness. Would love to re visit again to try out other dishes. The staff were friendly and were happy to see the same faces. They were smiling and chatting which made us feel more welcoming and they even helped us with the order. Really happy about the visit. Tummy full, heart full :)

Superb Taste . Reminded me of Tamil Nadu . Must try their Chilli Parotta.

Good ambience, ordered some stuff, but tandoori fish was fantastic and worth the money. Mutton biryani was really good and calamari. Filter coffee was superb.

Never disappoints! Always the best halal food and never too crowded. Authentic Indian food. Highly recommend Chicken Lollipops, Ghee Roast Dosa and Chana Bhatura💯💯💯

The quality of the food was below par. Mango punch was basically juice from concentrate and mojitto tasted bland. Dosa tasted good, but there was no top up of sambar or chutney despite asking the waiter twice. The wait between ordering the food and getting it was nearly 30 mins and there were hardly any customers in the restaurant at the time.

the delivery was not complete they forgot my drinks

Food very good but small portions. We also had a takeaway which was very good but again the portion are small for the price they charge.

I ordered to put my vada separately but they mix which is bad

Not great food for indian taste

Worst food ever, food is bland. Poor customer service. I've never had worse food before this is not real South Asian/Indian food. Waste of money

My chicken lollipop was burnt. its had a bitter taste.

nice food. I eat almost everyday here.

Poor experience. The cleanliness of the restaurant is bad. The quality of food is also sub standard. The service is average. They really need to improve the cleanliness standard especially the toilets.

Tried Platter, Naan, Rice and chettinadu curry

the coconut chutney was spoiled. spoiled food was delivered. very bad.

Rubbish Food, horrible services, not worth at all, we realised that there was an offer on Drinks during happy hours 5PM to 8.00 PM, at the time of going out too,the waiter did not suggest too, they were not in a position to communicate properly too,a total bad experience during my visit to UK

Good food and lovely customer service. I have been there with my friends and the staff were friendly, gave some good recommendations according to our needs. Service is on time. Great vegan options and willing to customise. Overall lovely experience. Will definitely visit more often.

Amazing flavours and the dish of the day was great.

We tried dosa and filter coffee. Highly recommend South Indian restaurant

I stumbled upon this gem during my visit to Southampton, and let me tell you, if you've lost your taste buds, just pop in here and prepare to be amazed! This lovely restaurant is not easy to miss, and trust me, you'll want to add it to your list of must-eat spots in Southampton. The food was absolutely amazing—I couldn't get enough! And the service was just as fantastic. Even during heavy rain when I visited Southampton, I was craving fish curry and rice, and this place fulfilled my craving perfectly. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience—I would recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service. And for those interested, I also noticed there's a bar available. I can't wait to visit again soon!

It's a nice Indian restaurant with a variety of options. The best part is its food is authentic Indian. I have tried many Indian restaurants they were expensive and didn't have any authentic taste but this is great. It's affordable too. I loved this place. The only thing that needs to be improved is they need some music too and the server needs to be energetic and smiling.

The worst service. I went with my friend yesterday, and I ordered dosa and bajji. It took them almost forty minutes, and they didn't deliver the dosa. It feels like I never want to go there again. I got frustrated and left, regardless the fact that the employees were acting badly and even not apologising. If you're starving, I would advise not going there because of the service

Yummy 😋 South Indian dosa and all items were good.

I recently stopped at Mint Dosa while traveling from Southampton to Coventry, tempted by their menu and craving some good chilli chicken. Despite specifically asking for spicy and dry chilli chicken, I was served a saucy version that tasted sweet. When I pointed out the discrepancy, the staff insisted that chilli chicken is supposed to be sweet because of the sauce they use. The chicken chukka was also extremely disappointing, with a terrible taste. Overall, I had the worst experience with both dishes. I suggest you think twice before dining here.

Lovely food and it was quick good service as well

Was tad spicy but. Nice big portion could only eat just over half rest on fridge for lunch

I went to Mint Dosa last Sunday for the breakfast buffet. It's great value for money, only £9.99 with a variety of dishes. For someone who hasn't tried South Indian food, this buffet would be an ideal place to start.

Nice place with amazing food and staff were so welcoming, will visit again soon.

The food was made a ready to collect at the time I requested but no driver arrived until after and hour and a half after the time. Food was cold when delivered.

All the ordered items delivered incomplete without chutneys as stated on the menu. This is a recurring problem in almost all my previous orders. When called to check, they seemed to blame the delivery person has being responsible for the missing items. I even made a special request to check all the items is included before delivery and yet this still happens when they charge full for the item with extra service charge.

Good south indian restaurant in southampton dosa was awesome

Food was delicious, good service, would recommend

Hi all kindly note the images that Min dosa has poster are food the make on special events some of those dishes if you ask them to serve they cannot serve you as they were on only special event e.g thali dish was only for new-year disappointed because of this

Worst food I ever had. Not worth for money.

Great authentic food, at a fair price.

Great service as always. The good this about this restaurant is that it’s open 7 days a week. Have been a regular customer for the last two years. Keep up the great work.

I ordered Kerala fish curry was so bland and there wasn't even a piece of fish. Paid £12 rip off all I could see was ginger pieces and very tiny flake of fish. Chicken kothu parota was £10, very small portion worse than a starter portion. Avoid ordering from here

Very salty, lamb chops, chicken tikka had no taste of its own apart from too much salt poured on top.

Lovely authentic South indian and North Indian food. Great menu and favours. As an Indian origin I do not like when food is catered for the British public as the real food is lost but here the original tastes and flavours tingle the taste buds. Highly recommend it.

Authentic South Indian food. You can get spicy food if you ask them and it tastes the same as home cooked food except a few dishes ..

I expected better food, the servings were small and the waiter seemed busy all the time that it was difficult to ask. Prices are more than expected

Food is great. Calls for some improvement in service.

Idlies were not fresh - they were hard.

Good Indian restaurant for South Indian dishes. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable especially Yogesh and his colleagues.

I liked the food and service… can be a go to place when craving south indian food

Delivery driver picked up food at 1520 stopped outside burgerking for 15 mins then spent next 30 traveling around. Food is stone cold for a delivery expected to arrive at 1505

Food was really tasty. We had chicken 65, Mutton Chettinad curry + Lemon Rice and Chicken Kothu Parotha. All tasted good with nice balance of masalas. Yummy Spicy

Loved their food 🥗always best in town

Too expenssive and portions are too small. Altough food is good. But not to the point of justifying the price

Loved the food and the staff were great. Well worth the climb upstairs

Very authentic. On sat when it's probably a busy day, they had no yoghurt!!!!

This place is excellent for south Indian lovers. Other than south Indian food, you will get to eat a variety of north Indian too. Service is amazing. Staff is also polite and knowledgeable. Love this place .

Good south Indian restaurant..had also tried their indo-chinese cuisine and yes!! It's very good..

Nice traditional south Indian. No buffer today

This used to be a good place in the past and we went there multiple times for good south Indian food. However when we were there 3 months ago the food and service were all very bad, which is a shame!

The service is good. ( 5 star ) Ambience is okay ( 4 star ) I ordered Kerala porotta, which was delicious. The chilli chicken was also tasty, but the biriani was not. ( Food 2 star )

For a pleasant atmosphere, consider this location for dining with family or a partner. However, the food’s taste is not exceptional, and the staff, though friendly, seems slow and fatigued, resulting in extended waiting times for service.

The order update was showing driver at the restaurant for almost an hour. I called the restaurant and the driver wasnt there. They had kept the food ready. The status update was done much before the driver reached the restaurant. The food arrived cold. I would like a refund.

Kerala dishes are very tasty, especially Chana bhatura, poori masala, and masala tea. Recommend to those who are missing Kerala recipes.

I think we just ordered the wrong choices for our taste. It was very dry

Two food items was leaking in the bag

Went there with the family on Saturday. Only one table was occupied. Took nearly 10 mins to come and take our order. We had a 3 year old with us. Waiter recommended children’s dosa. We requested it to be bland and not spicy. It took nearly half an hour for the starters to come and they didn’t all come at the same time! The paneer was warm and not hot. As soon as the 3 yrs old put a bit of dosa in her mouth she screamed. It was quite spicy! With this we decided to just pay for the food we had and leave. This was an hour after we arrived. Service is very slow. The toilets aren’t very clean. Definitely never going back again. And not recommended.

Slow service and stained plates in which dosas are served.. :(

Food was late.. courier was in restaurant for 45mins not sure it was restaurant or courier fault. Food was very spicy.

4 pieces if chicken not even a whole breast in both curry's for 14 quid each never eating here again absolute rip off

Food was amazing, schezwan mushroom rice is amazing

Ambience is good . But service was terrible. Only us and 1 single person .But even after that order arrived after 20 minutes. And no one was there to check if everything was OK. Even after waiting for 20 min the food arrived among that " kothu paratha" was cold and tasteless. Dosa were ok . Asked for any extra sauce for samosa even it was denied . Not worth . Spent £40 but not worth the price and time as we traveled 30 miles to just have food from here as per friends recommended. But not again .

Not worth for money..all are expensive and not enough portions

The worst food ever tasted on entire UK. Some of the foods were not even fresh it was cooked in the morning guess, waste of time and money. Never ever going to step into that place ever.

Venkatesh has good understanding of customer and he serve good service. Appreciate his work towards customer

The portion size is ridiculously high for small portion not worth it. Purely disappointing ruined Xmas eve (sigh)

Great place for pre gig/show .large upstairs casual dining ,group of three ,one veggie .we were fabulously fed.dosa stuffed with cheese and masala potatoes a highlight,curries authentic and finely spiced. Good to see a bombay bicycle ipa on tap along with usual offerings. On our visit was a mix of ethnic locals and out of towerners, while the service was swift and staff lovely . I would highly recommend you go ,a real asset to the vibrant food scene in the area .

All the dishes looked and tasted the same - seemed to be the same basis sauce with slightly different ingredients - and there was only a small amount of each of those ingredients, so it was not good value. Also, none of the containers was marked so it was really hard to tell which was supposed to be which.

Very delicious Tandoori chicken! Friendly staff and great service.
