Dosa Club in Crawley

Dosa Club is located at Langley Parade in Crawley and offers an authentic South Indian culinary experience. As frequent visitors, we can attest to the consistently fantastic food quality. Their freshly made crispy masala dosa, fluffy idli, and savoury vada served with flavorful sambar are divine. These simple yet delicious dishes, paired with aromatic South Indian coffee, create a truly satisfying South Indian experience. Basil and Suganthan's welcoming smiles, warm hospitality, and attentive customer service are second to none. For those seeking a break from typical Indian fare and a chance to explore the rich and diverse cuisine of the South, Dosa Club is a must-visit.

Something different if you want to try Sri Lankan / South Indian cuisine. No alcohol is served so soft drinks only Very good experience all round although be prepared for a basic restaurant Food for me was great and I have been back twice since

Excellent masala dosa! Sweet and mango lassi also great. Quick service, which is welcome after a hard day's work, before you head home. We've eaten here a couple of times already - and will be back again and again.

This review covers both Dosa Club 2 and the original at Langley Green. I started using DC after ULEZ expansion made it too expensive to use my previous goto's. I also note that they both score a 5 on the Food Hygiene Ratings. Finding Sri Lankan establishments with a score above 3 around South London can be challenging. I really like their standard Masala Dosa, good size and filling, nicely on the edge of being crispy and three chutneys which they will allow you to swap out. Curries are really good standard Sri Lankan curries, also a lot like a Karahi or the standard curries we used to get in South London in the 1980s (Dean Takeaway etc). Lunchtime meals are really good - good curry portions rice, raitha and a papadam. Yet to try their Thali. Only downside is that they really could do with opening at 12 instead of 1230, to catch more people on an earlier break.

Dosa club is truly best South Indian in Crawley so far. Their dosa is great! But chicken Manchurian and spicy prawns are fantastic. Lately we’ve discovered their biryanis as well. We have been coming here with friends family and have taken takeout as well. Dosa clubs portions are value for money. We had some other food from other South Indian places in Crawley and they are not as good as this one is. We paid for 3x dosas, chicken biryani, chicken Manchurian and chilli prawns £28.

Reviewing after few visits. Nice place to have good South Indian food. Authentic enough and clean enough. So far we have ordered variety of dishes and they were good

À proximité de l'arret de bus, à 10 min de gatwick. Très bon indien. J'ai essayé le dosa qui etait tres frais et vraiment bon. Prix correct, service rapide. Je recommande

Very nice neat and clean ambience of food outlet very friendly staff best place for the south Asian sub continent guys ,we ordered chicken noodles,masala dosa ,chicken pepper masala,fried rice all the food items r with well presentation and very tasty!!! Will recommended for all South Indian food lovers for the place!!

Visiting or in Crawley, love Indian Food? Highly recommend The Dosa Club in Langley Green. Amazing huge Masala & Mysore Dosa's and Medu Varda Starters (spicy fritters with yummy dips) all Gluten Free and delicious :)

Very friendly and amazing South Indian dishes. Loved parata with chicken chatinadu. Dosas were big, crispy and tasty. I Defiantly recommend

The food served is so flavoursome and tasty. A very warm and homely environment. Kind and patient staff - they usually get busy there as very popular.

I was looking for something a bit different and this hit the spot. New to Dosa, the staff were very helpful and happy to offer reccomendations. Everything I ate was full of flavour and delicious. Service was quick, friendly and efficient. No booze means customers are there for food. Eager to return.

Very large dosas meaning great value for money. Humble and attentive staff - my daughter was given a lovely birthday song and cake delivery. Very accessible with good parking available for a 2 hour period. Fresh food, a little spicy. Timely delivery.

Why is it that we’ve lived in the area for so long, but only just found out about this place? An Indian friend recommended it, so I knew it had to be good. We’ve been to India many times, so we were hopeful that it would compare well to the ‘real thing’. We needn’t have worried because the food we had was excellent. Everything that we saw being served to other diners also looked superb. We had a different dosa each, but next time I’ll definitely be going for some of the other menu options. We finished off with a kulfi and some gulab jamun and a couple of South Indian coffees. Point to note…bookings not available. Just turn up. Will definitely be back. Soon!

Visited this restaurant twice now to make sure it wasn’t a fluke the first time.   The restaurant itself is clean but basic. No flock wallpaper or sitar music in the background. Not a fine dining Indian as they call themselves these days. Mostly booth style tables which are comfortable, and do the job quite nicely. The staff here are very pleasant, and accommodating. There is ample parking outside in the shopping precinct. There is a no booking policy, so you can’t reserve a table. You can’t get a drink here as they are not licensed.  The menu is not exhaustively extensive as most Indians restaurants tend to be these days.   Now taking all that into account. The food here is nothing short of stunning. What they do. The do exceedingly well. The Dosa here is the best I have eaten outside of India, and still better than most I have eaten in India. They are large and have that delightful crispiness you just can’t get enough of. The potato filling in the masala Dosa is just right. Neither bland, nor over spiced. All of the side chutneys are delightful too. Especially the coconut. On the second visit we added Chilli Crab Masala to the mix. Another stunning dish. You wouldn’t want to get elbow deep in shells, and crab juices in a fine dining restaurant. But here it just feels natural. The crab was well cooked but still soft enough to get through using hands only. The masala gravy was chilli hot but not enough to take away the taste of the crab. A heavy masala sauce full of rich curry leaves.  All the other food we saw going past our table looked of amazing quality too.   The toilets here are also spotlessly clean, and more modern than the appearance of the place would lead you to believe. Disabled access is not a problem.   We will be back soon.

I had dinner twice at this place during my business travel. I can speak in Tamil with staff. Food is cheap and worth for money for visitors. I had Kottu paroto and Fried rice both were good.

Excellent food - two of us went, we had a dosa and a curry each, really tasty. Plenty of food there, and very reasonably priced. Will visit again.

The whole nation is pulling together to reduce the risk of spreading the infection, thereby reducing the burden on the NHS and reducing deaths. I visited on the evening of Monday 19th October to find that they are only taking cash and no forms of card payment are accepted at all. The country first went into lockdown in March; seven months later, there is no good reason why provision for card payment could not have been set up. There is not a chance I will be supporting a business that is seemingly so determined to remain cash only, despite the rest of the nation doing all it can to pull together.

I was a little sceptical on arrival as the location is pretty bad, but I wouldn’t let that detract from good cooking. The food was reasonably priced and my order of mutton kothu i found to be enough for two meals as the portions were so generous i had to take half home. While the dosa and dips lacked flavour the mains tasted of authentic indian food and left me with a curiosity for what else they had on offer. Service did let the place down as the one person working out front was very disinterested and slow in providing service. Overall id like to return as i feel this place has plenty of potential although didnt really wow first time around.

We've been here several times, and whilst it's unlicensed, there's a pub a minutes walk away. I'd never had dosa before, and a work colleague recommended it. I've been back several times since. The dosa's are amazing, light, crispy and generous with the filling, and spice! Don't stop at the dosa though, the starters and curries are also superb, chilli paneer is a personal favourite. Wash it all down with plenty of lassi and you'll go home satisfied!

This is the proper South Indian experience from start to finish - fantastic food, attentive and kind staff and absolutely spotless. The dosas are crispy and light and come with sides of 3 excellent chutneys and the best samber I've tasted since I was last in Chennai. The squid curry is very special indeed (my personal favourite) and the daals are superb. My children love the chicken 65 and the mutton rolls as well as the kids dosa. And to top it all off the restaurant is excellent value for money. The portions are generous and the dosas are enormous.

Delicious South Indian food especially Masal Dosa is tasty. Highly recommended. The service was excellent.

I visited the Dosa Club with 2 good friends and had an amazing meal. The taster platter was outstanding,stunning flavours and dishes. Very friendly staff and informative about the dishes. Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again. Superb!!!

Went on recommendation with some friends and the dosa was very good. We also order a few other dishes and all good.

I went with an Indian work colleague who was very proud to introduce a number of new dishes to myself and we soon had a amazing selection to tuck into. I have had Dosa before and I can say that this place serves up authentic fresh food. I ended up taking a fairly decent doggy away for my lunch in the office the next day, with the chutneys!. Yes no alcohol but I didn't need it as my taste buds were dancing. Definitely off the beaten track but worth seeking out.

Excellent dinner. Loved it. Every dish was tasty. Dosa was amazing. Very busy during weekends. Worth giving them a call to check and go.

Stayed at the Ibis Hotel, Gatwick with my daughter (ready for a 6am flight the next day!)After a long day of travelling, we looked online for places to eat nearby and stumbled upon the Dosa Club which was an easy 20 minute walk. And I’m so glad we did!It’s lovely. We arrived before the Saturday night rush - it’s quite small and tucked away in a little local shop/café area. It got pretty busy about 20 minutes after we arrived, but we weren’t rushed and it didn’t get noisy. I had the impression that it was full of locals who were there for delicious food at great prices. The staff were lovely - helpful without being pushy and they brought us a jug of tap water without being asked. We didn’t drink anything else and it didn’t seem to be a problem!We had five dishes and were too full for dessert (I was very sad as they have kulfi!!!)It was £25 and a complete bargain I only wish we lived closer (but it makes the idea of getting flights from Gatwick much more appealing!)If you’re anywhere nearby, go there to eat...you won’t regret it!(And plenty of vegetarian/vegan options too)

Came here for dinner with my Mum before having to travel from Gatwick early the next morning - best decision we’ve ever made! The absolute BEST gobi Manchurian I’ve ever had, and beautiful dal! Staff were so friendly and accommodating and the service was super - the restaurant was quite busy as it was a Saturday night but it was lovely seeing how popular it was with locals and families. And such a bargain! Five incredible dishes shared between my Mum and I for £25!!!! Wish I could come back here weekly

Great dosa restaurant on the way to Gatwick...made our day..we will be back. Easy parking just outside restaurant.

The restaurant was so busy tonight. What is evident about this restaurant is that many of the people eat here are of Sri Lankan/South Indian origin, that says a lot. The food itself was good. We had the devilled squid following the recommendation on trip advisor, it was tasty and had some great zing! We also had the saag mutton and chettinand chicken; both were nice but different recipes to what we have had before (note the saag is more of a purée).

Specialised restaurant in Crawley serving amazing Dosa which are Indian style Rice pancakes stuffed with delicious meat or vegetarian fillings. Staff are helpful and food and the dishes are are huge. No alcohol though. There is a big menu choice but try the main dish you won’t be disappointed.

It was really great experience in this restaurant, all thanks to the staff the positivity and the friendly attitude of the staff just really makes you comfortable.....

Good south Indian food and reasonably priced. Their devil squid starter is awesome The masala dosa is filling

The food is very tasty and the people who served us were very friendly. I would love to go back to try the other dishes.

Excellent food, very reasonable prices and just like cafes I am used to inTamil Nadu, India. Friendly service as well.

What to say ? Off late they're unable to manage Started abusing customers We came back without eating n my 4 years old slept without eating today

South Indian dishes are so good. Especially Veechu Borotta, Egg borotta is Awsome :) Keep up the good work!!

My husband and I ate here the night before we went on holiday based on recommendations. We weren’t disappointed; the food was excellent (vada for starter, Mysore masala dosa for main and gulab jaman to finish) Delicious and very delicious, first time we’ve had decent vada outside South India! Just a shame we live so far away or we’d be regulars.

Really great authentic South Indian food, friendly and attentive staff. The menu is large for the size of the restaurant. Good prices too. Not the best decor and not licensed.

I am regular visitor of Dosa club in Crawley this is the only family South Indian restaurant in that Area. Food is descent only problem is every time I go I found prices are getting expensive.

This has to been one of my favorite places to eat out in crawley. The food is really delicious and prepared with care. Prices are really reasonable and the portion sizes are big enough to make you really full. Customer services is friendly and attentive and staff happily make recommendations.Food is presented really well and quickly. The only down side is the decor, its ancient and stuck in some warped time zone and it does feel cold in the winter but the delicious food, excellent customer service and value for money. This has to be one of the best places to eat in Crawley in terms of taste and freshness

Really impressed by Dosa Club we came as a group of 8 and had a fab meal. Great food and really friendly team.

This is a very family oriented place. It is authentic and unpretentious. Unlike most so called Indian restaurants which serve inauthentic standardised curries, this restaurant serves South Indian food as it tastes in India. The real star is the food. We have been coming here very regularly for over 2 years. We like the staff who are always helpful. Definitely worth a visit.

We were recommended this place by some Sri Lankan friends. The food was delicious (enjoyed by my 9 year old daughter too!) & value for money. We had the masala dosa, chicken biriyani, a dhal dish and mango lassi... YUM!

No frills restaurant serving very good South Indian food. Not a place for people who intend to go out for an evening of dining but for those who want a very good South Indian meal - I say a must try. Very good service and food - Biriyani very good and so was the Dosa. Price very reasonable and portions good - value for money.

Ambience is good. Staff is polite and serving well. South Indian food is delicious, dosa idli are upto the mark.

First of all, I like to say tasty and sometimes tastier, they so busy sometimes it's like they can't be bothered to make a dish than they just chuck it out. I have same food sometimes change dish and its very nice than very average.

We had collected south Indian food a couple of times. Taste wise - seemed OK. But the quality wasn't much great !

Just got back from an excellent meal at Dosa Club. A straightforward non-alcohol restaurant with gorgeous food at very reasonable prices, and very friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend it.

evening meal was served in quick time very friendly staff they where happy to get my child his food first so as he would not be hungry the food while being basic is ok its a quite place and the price are the same as takeaway the portion sizes are good not to much the fish curry did lack some flavour but the korma was enjoyed by my son and the Dosa is big enough for two people

Food wise it is good but since knowing about the Food they need to improve on quality (Food and Service). Overall it is a place for food you would like to go. Also one more think I don't like is the Cooking Smell in the dining area.

Never had a Dosa before but was impressed. Good varied menu catering for all diets. Had the dosa with chicken madras. Came with some tasty dips and plenty of filling in the huge, 14 inches at least, crisp thin dosa. Lovely. Staff friendly but decor etc just looked tired. But don't let that stop you.

Great Place to go for if you love Indian/Sri Lankan food. Excellent service. Friendly Staff and reasonable pricing. I would definitely recommend 👍

I’ve eaten at various Sri Lankan restaurants in London but only recently discovered this gem locally. Mutton rolls are great, both veg and chicken kothu and mutton devil. Prices are very reasonable for food quantity and quality. I’ll be a new regular.

Been here multiple times because of the quite frankly stunning food. Perfect combination of flavorsome, spicy, good textures and variety. The Mutton Rolls and Chicken Kothu are amazing. But the Chilli Chicken, Chicken Manchurian and all of the Dosas are excellent too. Ignore the exterior, location and decor. It is all about the food.

We've been a few times and every time it's lovely. It's always busy which is a good sign, but saying that we've never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for a table. The dosas are delicious. Last time I went, I took my Indian friend and she said it was the best dosa she had had outside of India. Mango lassee is also a must, my toddler loves it after getting stuck in to my dosa. A firm favourite in my family!

Very very tasty Dosa & Samber when eating in the Restaurant but takeaway samber /chutney portion is very small.

We stopped here on our way to take our hire car back. The food was very full-flavoured and plentiful. Very cheap too. If we're in the area, we wouldn't hesitate to eat there again.

We tried dosa club after hearing recommendations and it didn't disappoint. Went for a quick bite to eat on a Friday evening and tried the masala dosa and chicken wings. Was really impressed with the size of dosa and the flavour. The wings were akin to indo Chinese style and were really good. Service was quick and straightforward. Highly recommend it.

A Great masala dosa with coconut chutney. Does travel well as a takeawAy unfortunately. Not their problem.

I tried for the first time and loved by my family members. I will be in frequent visitors list from now on...

I was introduced to Dosa Club by a friend and am now totally hooked. I once visited 3 times in 1 week! The dosas are to tasty. The mutton rolls are delicious. The chilli paneer and chili prawns were divine! I love the food here, service is quick and friendly. My husband is now hooked too! Keep up the great standard of your food Dosa Club!

Thanks, notwithstanding the appearances is a great little restaurant. Great soup, chicken dosa masala and service. Will go back when around Gatwick.

Went for lunch with friends. The taste of the food was far below the previous standards. May be there is a change in the kitchen staff. The man at the till did not even smile. Sad though

Excellent and authentic Sri Lankan cuisine at very modest prices. The staff are friendly and informative. The Dosa Club decor is more canteen than traditional Asian restaurant and when we went full of local diners. A very pleasant experience. We'll be back.

Welcoming, clean, fast and warm service, & delicious food (generous portions)! The best Dosa I've had in this country.

A lovely friendly local restaurant that is not only very popular in Craweley but I overheard a group of customers who came from afar afield as Brighton. We were advised to come to Dosa Club by a friend and we're happy endorse that recommendation!. Located in Langley Parade this is as far as you can get from a typical high street Indian Restaurant. Everything is freshly prepared and there isn't a 'cook-in sauce' in sight - there is even a window into the kitchen so you can see the chefs at work.

This is a have-a-go at a restaurant venture at Sri Lankan food. We ordered a Panner 65 for starters and my friend ordered a chicken fried rice whilst I ordered a special kothu roti from their menu. The starter was too salty and not tasty at all. The main was no different and I instantly noticed the badly cooked meal, having eaten in many well known restaurants in London that were Sri Lankan. This is a budget, lets try run a restaurant venture and I would avoid visiting this place if you are serious about food. I also had a bad stomach when I arrived home - whether directly responsible due to the food - I cannot prove.

This place is a blessing to Crawley. This place serves authentic south indian cuisine with great taste and pocket friendly all at same time. Simply order a dosa in case you do not much understand the menu and then just sit and enjoy. No matter what you order you will not be dissapointed.

Amazing customer service. Served quickly. Greeted with a smile. Tasty fresh dosa with all the right accompaniments. Love the chilli paneer and had a tasty glass of mango lassi to wash it down with. Also, if you like indo Chinese fusion dishes then the chicken fried rice and noodles are a real treat. The ONLY place in the UK I have found which serveS Chinese rice like the rice you find in India & Pakistan . The waiter who served us is a true asset to the restaurant, he remembered us from a month ago! Considering the restaurant was packed he really made us feel as though we are valued customers. My second visit and surely not the last.

An authentic Indian Restaurant with a friendly and family atmosphere. The place is situated in an unsparing era of the Crawley, but do not be put of by the setting or simple premises; the food is delicious and very authentic. I have the Mutton Chettinad accompanied with Peas Pulao, a revelation! Be aware, the food can be very spicy. I asked for mild but for me it was hot. My husband had the Onion Rava Masala Dosa; a crisp and large pancake full of flavour.

The appearance of the restaurant is beautiful and elegant. Perfect service, and the most important thing that..the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is very delicious.

Friendly staff, reasonable prices with fresh food. I would strongly recommend if anyone is looking for a south indian food.

I have been visiting this restaurant for the last 6 months. After getting my order wrong a few times and burnt food apparently sending it back is not an option. The staff ignored me completely and the owner says he don't really care about my business. Apparently customer service is not important and if I visit the restaurant or not is doesn't really matter. Living in a society where customers service is everything the owner of the restaurant told me he is not bothered about my business. If a regular customer gets treated like this wonder what other customers might experience. My last visit to this place never again will I visit this restaurant.

Been here a couple times now, the food is brilliant and arrives quickly. Staff are super friendly and very accommodating. Prices are super cheap considering the quality of food and what you get.

We visited Dosa Club after being recommended by family. The food is delicious! All the Indian flavours found in one place! They also catered for vegans - so that's a massive bonus! The service was top quality! Great experience and definitely recommend anyone that passes by in Crawley!

Been to dosa club many times. Always the food is amazing..never failed.. definitely recommend to everyone.

I always heard about Dosa Club. I love indian foods.So I went there tonight. I got shock because everything was perfect. Excellent costumer service, excellent VEGAN foods and very welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend.

We love going to Dosa Club on our own and with our friends. Food is great, very authentic and honestly hard to beat! The only reason for four stars rather than five is that one of the waiters, the oldest chap who I think is called 'Suresh' is quite arrogant and neither my and my wife or our friends we dine there with, never feel comfortable and easy whenever he is serving us. The two other waiters are great and offer truly remarkable service. The cooks are also five star! If I was an owner of this restaurant, I would have a careful word with Suresh as soon as possible before he spoils the impression for other customers!

While the decor may seem dated, the food is something else. The most amazing mutton rolls you will ever have, Chicken Chukka is flavoursome, Chicken Kothu is delicious beyond words. And excellent value for money.

This place provides delicious south Indian food and wonderful dosas. Fish curry and mutton curry excellent. Biryani's brilliant. Very reasonable pricing. No alcohol served but put that aside, the taste is worth it. A bit compact and congested but service is good. Well done guys.

Great food, good value for money and friendly staff. Portions are huge and therefore do not order a lot beforehand.

Both my daughter and me fell upon this restaurant as we were staying in a nearby hotel.

I had a meal here with a couple of friends and we were all very impressed. The menu is a bit different to the usual choices on offer at "Indian" restaurants which reflects the Southern Indian and Sri Lankan influences here. The starters were particularly delicious and they offer a wide choice of vegetarian and meat dishes. Prices are very reasonable and because they don't serve alcohol (and you aren't allowed to bring your own) the bill actually comes as a nice surprise. We didn't book and they were quite busy for a Tuesday night but we were seated straight away and the service was very good. The decor and atmosphere is more like a cafe than a restaurant and plenty of people seemed to be coming in for a quick snack (the stuffed Dosa breads are a meal on their own) so don't expect the full on restaurant experience but if you are looking for a good quality reasonably priced meal then you can't go wrong here.

Not recommended this place No customer service very rude Food old and cold Take long time not clean Very disappointed rude people

In the last 5 week period we have been here for lunch with family and friends.

Made to feel very welcome. Food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. Please don't be put off by the exterior. Could not recommend enough and will be going back.

Flavourless leftovers Didn't eat it, was not nice at all Chicken was so dry was hard to swallow Staff was friendly though

Really flavoursome food, large portions, and great variety to choose from. Will definitely be coming here again for sri lankan food!

Been here now many times and I comeback because of the great food / service and value for money. Must try is the chilli paneer and the Ravi Dosa being one of my favourites. Oh by the way rice portions are massive. Very much look forward to my next visit, hoping you can open up a chain in Birmingham.

Have been wanting for a South Indian / Sri Lankan cuisine restaurant open within the Crawley vicinity for a while and finally there is the DOSA CLUB. Friendly staff, good good and reasonably priced. Have recommended to friends already and will visit again.

I'm not familiar with South Indian cuisine so this was new territory for us. Having read the reviews, I knew what to expect from outside, but was pleasantly surprised inside. Staff were very welcoming. We weren't sure what to order, but the manager helped us out with the level of spiciness. Everything was excellent, really tasty and very good value. Can't wait to come back and have more dosas, chilly chicken, lassis and to try a few other dishes too.

Traditional food with wonderful flavours, tastes just like homemade cooking. Portions generous and everything at a very reasonable price. We were offered complimentary halva to try their new recipe which was a pleasant surprise and very yummy. Overall as other reviewers have said, don't be put off by the location and appearance of the restaurant, the food fully makes up for it.

This is one of those wonderful places you discover when you override the outward appearance of a place.

This is a top class place for quality Dosa, Uttapam, Kotthu Roti, and other Sri Lankan delights. Simple clean place in a hidden corner of Crawley. They get really busy on weekends, be prepared for a small wait, but don't miss it. Dosa are large and crispy.

Wonderful spicy, completely different burst of flavours. The service was brilliant,the portion sizes amazing (the doggy bag if proof of that) at a good price.

Hello to all readers and to all staff @ Trip.

A really good place to eat dosas and south indian food in the sussex area. Restaurant is tastefully decorated and the owner/manager is very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be visiting often.

Very different from your typical "British" Indian restaurant. Wonderful Southern Indian/Sri Lankan menu, fresh crispy dosa's, spicy curries, wonderfully different chutneys and friendly service. Very good value for money. Highly recommended!

Very helpful and courteous staff. We drove from the airport well past the time when the hotel closed after lunch service - quite hungry and dying for some food. Reached out to the staff there and he was quite kind to prepare dosas and sambar rice for a group of 5. Much appreciated :)
