Dosa Mama in Coventry

Exceptional South Indian food. Especially the Biriyani, Kothu Porotta, Sandwich Dosa. Our regular spot ❤️

Simply lovely place to eat and prices very reasonable ☺️. Also took takeaway too and that was nice as well 👍

Tasty authentic south Indian food!

Visited them on Sunday evening and Ordered Mysore Masala Dosa which was soo tasty. Authentic south Indian taste and priced so reasonably! Must visit!

We had an amazing lunch at Dosa Mama. We ordered thali, and the food was so so tasty! We loved that we get to try bit of everything! Also there were so much food - excellent value for money. We also ordered gun powder dosa which was crispy, spicy and just lovely. The lady working there was very friendly and kind. We can't wait to come back!

Literally the best food I’ve had in ages

Horrible food. Unhygienic. Either they have changed hands or changed the chef. Extremely horrible:(

Very tasty South Indian food at affordable prices, with a friendly service. They have plenty of options for vegetarians. I bet most people can't finish their mega tiffin that's available only on weekends. It is really 'mega'!. The place is clean and neat. They accept cards. They don't have their own parking but you should be able to park on the road.

Extremely delicious flavours 🤤 Must try here if your are an Indian or Love Indian Cousine 👌🏻

I found this gem in Coventry while searching for Authentic South Indian Food. Great taste quality at very affordable price. 100% recommended.

I have been ordering take away from this place for a month and their food quality is really great and reasonable price. Love it, will recommend everyone. Will try to take more pics

Side dish smelled, not hygienic,not recommended.non veg not cooked properly, upma and Pongal ordered were not cooked on that day as I can say this not at all fresh.idli also storaged food only.

3 stars because- The samosa chaat is just two small samosas for around £5 (not fair) but it tastes good. I ordered butter chicken for the first time from them, the quantity was good but the chicken was uncooked. Really expected them to be good!! But this is definitely something they can improve!!

If you really want to waste your money and time, please visit and experience the dosa mama..!! Very disappointed

Just had a lovely meal at Dosa Mama today. Our experience was really good. Food was authentic and tasted delicious. We would definitely come back.

Staff definitely need more training. £1 for 100ml extra sambar is not reasonable considering the price of the items in the first place. A polite notice is much better than a staff rudely declining you on table! Not gonna return. Would recommend Amma kitchen which offers unlimited buffet at less than this price!

Our experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. We asked for a table for 6, but they couldn’t accommodate us. The host rearranged some tables, but when we tried to assist, she responded rudely, saying it was difficult for them to adjust the tables back. If you’re visiting as a group of more than 4, I wouldn’t recommend coming here. We ordered the weekly breakfast special, which included idli and uttapam, but both were hard and had no flavor. When we requested extra sambar, the staff rudely informed us it would cost £1 for each small portion. It’s not the charge that bothered us, but the attitude, as if they were doing us a favor by serving us. Overall, the poor customer service left a bad taste, and I wouldn’t recommend this place.

great food good service friendly service thanks

16 August 2024 love the south Indian cuisine, the plain dosa is very good , a cheerful staff with great service . My husband love the meter coffee, will come again very soon

Enjoyed our first experience of Dosa's. Quite enjoyed the pancake with potato and all sauces were delicious, especially the coconut one. We also ordered a chicken biryani ( came on the bone 👍) which was also great.

Food was tasty, staff were polite. Worth a visit.

Just returned from here after an impromptu visit. The food was so authentic from India which was fantastic. My only slight grumble was they weren’t very busy and I had to ask for glasses for the water a couple of times. BUT do not let that overshadow a great meal. We had veggie dishes and they were superb! I will be back.

Every time I go to the place, the hospitality of the extremely friendly staff impresses me. Guess its a family run business and all of the members are the most polite and jolly as you can imagine. The food is adequate in amount and taste is remarkable. I highly recommend the place.

Good place for Indian food. Tired our chicken kothu porrotta and Dahi chat.Both items were really good.

Went for what was we hoped would be a short meal. highly understaffed in kitchen & table service personnel - very long wait for food, dished went to wrong table. Food was tasty but place really needs to work on service...or just make it take away only! Update: a few weeks since last review, this time takeaway. Very busy on a Friday evening & long wait. Food was fresh & yummy. Place is worth a try, just have to wait a bit..

Good quality of food and nice staff

Delicious, freshly made dishes in a very underrated Coventry restaurant. Excellent, friendly service and great food. Go!⭐️

South Indian dosa , paratta, chutney nice

Great Indian restaurant located at the very crossing of Chelysmore road. Good food with great quantity and affordable pricing. The space is small but the service and food more than make up for it. The staff there are really friendly and it has one of the best Indian food in value settings. Definitely recommended for a bite of Indian delight.

Good South Indian food, definitely recommend.

I tried Dosa & Thali …. Thali was so good

😋😋😋We’re visited this restaurant (dosa mama) i had great experience . The food is very very tasty and hygiene, we are specially going from Wellingborough (Northampton) to this place and we like it soo much , lovely and friendly staff very good and fast service 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

Tasty and affordable food ..love it

Absolutely fantastic tasting food. Have tried the dosa, masala omelette and pau bhaji, all cooked fresh and evidently made with love and care. Give this place a try. The owner is so nice and hospitable as well, love eating here!

Very hospitable staff and good food 👍

Thoroughly enjoyed the Veg Thali here. Delicious food and great quantity. Owner Jaya received us with warmth and love. Felt like home! Coming back again for sure!

Very tasty food, saves me all the time when I go home and I did not have time to cook! Delicious food , tasty, cooked from scratch ! And the staff they are sooo nice , feels like family ! 10/10 I wouls recommend it ! 🤗

Tried for the first time very helpful food good

Found this place on Google. The food was amazing, the dosas are crisp and thin. They make all the food fresh. Wish I lived closer so I could come back again.

Lovely chef and Customer service (Anjana Akka) and tasty food. I had briyani yesterday that was amazing.

Had an amazing meal at Dosa Mama Restaurant today! The food was hands down some of the best Indian cuisine I’ve had—natural flavors that pop with every bite. What I appreciated most was how they catered to my specific preferences, making sure everything was just right. The staff was also incredibly friendly and made me feel truly welcome. A must-visit for anyone craving authentic, Indian dishes!

Great little South Indian restaurant, 10 mins walk from the city centre. The food was incredible! My friend had the veg samosas, a delicious Mysore masala dosa and lemon soda...all top notch. I went for gobi 65 and one of the best vegetarian thali I've ever had (and, with at least 6 dishes for under £9, one of the cheapest), along with a masala chai. The staff were sweet, the service attentive, the food was all freshly prepared an abundant, and the price was extremely reasonable (at around £25 for both of us) I'm going back this week, and I'll be sure to make this a regular haunt, whenever I want a taste of South India. I thoroughly recommend that you try it out, if you're in Coventry!

authentic taste of south indian food. humble service and good quality. worth spending in coventry area.!

This place is awesome. The service and the food, both are really good

Food was nice. People are friendly and good service

Excellent Food. Feel like home. Very good service

0ne star hygiene rating in coventry telegraph won't be going back till its 5 star

Update March 2024: FSA have given them a 1 star rating over the management of food safety! personally I didn't find the food at dosa mama to be very good. Veg dosa is the only item that I found tasty.

Breakfast and tiffins are excellent

Perhaps we caught them at an odd hour but the thali was not very nice and the weekend tiffin had all items which were either leftovers from the morning or the last bits. The paniyaram was dry and burnt, the uttapam was not cooked and the Pongal was disintegrating with lack of texture/ ghee. What we did like were the dosa, gobi manchurian and the puri masala . Service was nice and polite, the place was clean and we found parking on the nearby street

We had ordered Chicken biryani..Rice was good but the chicken in the biryani was horrible ,dry and tasted fishy smell...Really unhappy..

Indian fast food at its best, very unpretentious restaurant. The Masala dosa could have been a tad crisper, but this un-oily version was healthier and came with nice sambar stew and coconut chutney. Had better potato masala in India, but still good, the Chicken biriyani was as good or better than any I have tasted in UK or India.

Super tasty and authentic Indian Food, Very friendly Staff, We had 2-3 chaat, poori, dosa, milkshake and coffee. Saw lot of people order meals, Will definitely recommend and come back again.

I had ordered food from dosa mama and was very disappointed. Everything ordered was very spicy and some of my order was missing. This is very disappointing when you order food from a restaurant which has some good reviews and they are unapologetic about it.

Tasty south Indian food, specially dosa, and very good service. Masala dosa, chat, chicken starters are very good, authentic and tasty

Very nice food, best place to have dosa, uttapam. The best part was desi chai. Will come back again for sure. :)))

Them best ever South Indian food I have tasted . Service was very good too . I and my husband enjoyed the food very much . I wish them all the best x Sakina

Excellent food. Decent service as i could see a person doing service. Have a good parking space available near by. Had veg thali , masala dosa & veg biriyaani ; everything was delicious. Reasonable price & variety of veg & non veg menus.

Ordered and waited almost an hour to get the food. No glasses on the table for water. Poor service.. had worst experience..

I have visited Dosa Mama. Best place for South Indian food.....The food was very taste... I tried three dishes it was very nice...Especially onion pakora and vada.... Rasamalai is must try... Ultimate.. Service is very Friendly...

Visited Dosa mama today with my family for lunch. Being a restaurateur (BK's Saanu, Pan-Asian Restaurant, Hinckley) automaticlly eyes goes everywhere! It is spotless place with plesant, fantastic exprience. A beautifully created Lamb Biriyani on the bone, Best masala dosa, Chicken noodles with good protion and Chicken curry dosa. Each dish came with its own timeing with how it should be. Staff members are well presented with fantastic manner. Definitely will visit again. 10/10.

Not fresh food ,Currys stale,pakoda stale, potato curry stale,not fresh biryani, harmful to health but area clean,staff not good, food inspection necessary,porial not nice

Food quality is really good and we get fresh cook food. South Indian plates are really tasty. My son likes Chicken biryani from dosa mama. Price is also reasonable and we really enjoying the food in dosa mama.

Food is not tasty & needs improvement. Dosa is very crispy & horrible. Sambar tastes awful. Pongal is nice. Atmosphere & service is good.

Good place for South Indian breakfast dishes. Really liked onion rawa dosa

One of the best south-Indian food we have ever had in England. The coconut chutney is amazing. Lovely people. Feels as if you are having food in a South Indian home. Reasonable prices. Five stars

Half tandoori chicken is one the good dishes I would recommend

Dosa is not the best, but Thali is good. The restaurant is clean and there is enough seating. Service is good.

The taste of the Food is good, as per Indian spice levels. I definitely recommend this place. Reasonable Prices.

I had a nice time, they have a long list of things to try.

Non veg dishes were awesome. Fish pakoda was a standout. Never tasted like that anywhere previously. Highly recommend. Will visit again.

Real good food with awesome service 👌

Fantastic family run business. Great and pocket friendly South Indian food. They told that they use different utensils for vegetarian food. I would like to recommend their biryani, it will give you a homely feeling. Dosa, Idli and Vads are their best sellers and tastes amazing. Serving fresh food everyday.

We had some tasty uttapam and idling at Dosa mama a few days ago. The service and food was nice. I was very much impressed with how clean their toilet was. I think it's important to give praise to eating places that manage to do this as usually toilets are never kept clean.

Really nice restaurant, good food. Loved Mysore masala dosa.

Been here couple of times If anyone wants to taste Indian curry dosa or non veg items this is not the correct place. Sorry, cannot review it better .

Found this place on Google maps and so glad I did.Had the mysore masala dosa and Kottu roti.both fantastic.will come again for sure

It's a very small place, accommodating a few seats, too busy and very noisy, a good place to try south Indian food, great for pre order and take away.

They are serving bad odur food. Bad quality...worst taste

Veg meal. Biryani Dossa idli naan and paneer .

The food is good but the service is very very slow. They probably need to invest more on their services. It took us 1 hour for 3 dosa's and a Pongal. Would really like to visit this place provided they increase their service efficiency.

Limited seats ..more of a take away ... Nice taste as per South Indian dishes

We visited this Dosa mama second time but very opposite experience this time as Staff was very rude and not welcoming.

Ordered some takeaway and the idli was rock hard..never expected a basic food item like idli will go terribly wrong like this.. It seems to be a frozen one.. If told before, i would hav atleast opted for another dish like dosa.. Also the chapathi was not good.. This is just not the first time, ordered months back and had the same horrible experience

Very nice food and great service

Really lovely place, got a takeaway while in Coventry for the night and excited to be back in the city to go back. Food full of flavour, very spicy masala which I love. I had a few starters and naan which were all brilliant and served by a lovely man.

Nice clean place, you can bring your family here, no issues. Staff is very pleasant and helpful. South Indian dishes were ok to good. However, they lacked usual mouth-watering watering pazzaz. The dossa is made well. The fillings and side condiments need to improve so they have a more authentic taste. Portion size was spot on, more than enough for the price paid which was great. Great to see another Dossa place in Coventry, so we'll done to the owner. Now need to focus on refining the dishes. Thank you

large portion of really tasty food served by courteous staff… can’t ask for more! One of the best!

Can’t fault the Dhosa. Great texture, crispy and consistent. Chutney and Sabhar were tasty. Great value also! £4.50 for a Plain Dhosa - can’t go wrong.

Customer service was very bad. The man at the counter don't know how to behave with the customers and was being very rude, not only to me but with others as well. Food was also not as expected, sambhar was cold and did not taste fresh at all. Mysore masala dosa was average, can't say good.

Had chicken biryani and non veg meals...just got reminded of home..the taste is as close to chennai as it gets. The restaurant is new and very bright and clean.The owner lady really took good care of us.Must visit if you are craving south indian food.

Quality and very tasty food. The first place in Coventry where we had original and flavorful food!! Will be back often now!

HORRIBLE... they serve spoilt food and expect you to eat without complaining and pay the full bill even if you refuse / reject the garbage they serve... desperately needs a health and safety check...

I ordered samosa and Thali from here. Food was ok but service is really good.

Interested in having some leftover or spoilt dal & rasam ? Interested in waiting 25 mins for a thali that's tasteless & bland ? This is the place ! When you inform the staff that "the dal is spoilt" their response is "it's OK sir, don't worry" ! As though we committed a mistake... The staff even challenged us saying he knew about rasam & Dal etc. Not a single apology, just the standard reply - "it's OK sir, I'll deduct £1 from your bill for having served spoilt curry" !! They went ahead & served the same spoilt curry to a different customer after we complained & so did the other guy !! Irresponsible, arrogant staff and unsafe food safety standards... Won't be going there again... Addendum - later noted from 2 other reviews that they had served spoilt / stale curry the same day - after our reviews !! Some people just don't care !!

Was served cold & stale / smelly lunch - the staff was rude & argued with us saying the food was "OKAY". Then when customers at another adjacent table too complained , the staff began to argue with them. They gave stale spoilt curry to a kid's meal & also billed them for it. Should have a health & safety inspection... Horrible food, terrible staff...

The food was awful and smelling very bad. After a long argument the owner refunded my money. In near future I will avoid ordering from this restaurant.

I really enjoyed my dinner with my friends here. I love the Mysore Masala Dosa and we even ordered 4 of it. LoL. The host is really friendly. Actually we stayed a bit late and so sorry to make them overwork. But they were still happy to make one more Dosa for us. Really appreciate that. Nice experience

Visited the 2nd time.. and i see the taste of the food horrible. I visited this time with family i can just say it was a disappointing experience. Out of all the tiffen items we took nothing was fresh except the coffee. The pongol was cold , the idli was rock hard. The sambar tasted stale. We had to leave and waste the food foricibly in the plates as we just could not have it.. and the money wasted. Anyways as a suggestion/ advise please serve fresh food, quality food which will result in a better taste and flavours. Honestly me being a south Indian from combitore never ever have tasted food as bad this was. Thanks

Excellent food as always. Really appreciate the effort of the staffs to host us even in the last hour. Special thanks to Anjana for her remarkable service. One of the best places to enjoy food for a pocket friendly price as well.
