Madhras Dosa in Glasgow City

A cozy spot with limited seating, but great food. Though the full menu wasn't available during our visit, it worked out perfectly since we came for dosa and weren’t disappointed. The ghee masala dosa with three chutneys and sambar made for a truly satisfying lunch.

Masala dosa is super good. Must try

Delicious food!!! 100% recommended to a quick meal!

Our favourite most authentic South Indian wee restaurant in Glasgow. Food is always tasty and authentic with fresh ingredients. Lovely and super helpful staff, chill atmosphere and BYOB. Stunningly decorated with murals by a local artist (a marriage of Indian and Scottish art). Highly recommend

Delicious dosa, very friendly and nice staff. We really enjoyed the food and hope to come back soon.

First Dosa and will 100% want another from here. Lovely greasy spoon vibes and quick service. Lamb dosa was so tender and the sauces/broth were just the right levels of spice. Very good prices too

My husband and myself had set vegetarian meat and a lamb dosa with chutney and pompadams It was delicious , great flavour and wonderful service . Waitress took time to explain in detail the dishes so we could make a good choice

Not hygienic, not at all clean. Please provide clean plates.

This is not a big restaurant, but the food here speaks volumes. We eat here at least once a month and do a takeaway as well.

excellent food, great service, value for money.

Personal atento encantador y deliciosa comida sabrosa! Recomiendo encarecidamente la dosis de pollo. Espero que no cambien nada y sigan haciéndolo bien! ¡Regresaremos seguro!

Always amazing food and service .

The food is very very tasty 😋 😍

Best place for dosa in the west end

The food was really amazing !! Ayushi was the sweetest and helped us with the variation ! A must visit

Never thought I would get authentic South Indian (read Tamil Nadu) style food in Glasgow! Madhras Dosa is a cut above the rest of the cookie cutter Indian restaurants in UK, who serve a mish-mash of broad spectrum Indian food that mainly comprise of pakoras and kormas! Here there an array of idli and dosa to choose from, served with a trio of chutney (white coconut, coriander and tomato) with fresh drumstick sambar made in typical Tamil Nadu style. We started off with some spicy tomato rasam that hit the right spot considering the brutal 2 degree weather outside. We then moved on to plain dosa and a chicken dosa that was equally outstanding, and washed down the spicy with a jug full of chilled mango lassi. South Indian first curry, some steamed rice and a Chicken 65 followed. Each dish was better that the other and our Indian food starved taste buds were in culinary heaven. We were offered some Chettinad style lamb biryani made the authentic zeerage samba rice; the owner was testing a new recipe and kindly offered us a portion to sample. The taste and texture of lamb and rice hit the ball out of the park. Paired with a mellow yoghurt raita this spicy biryani (hopefully) will be an upcoming addition on their menu. I think we’re lucky to sample it, considering we were only in Glasgow for a day! Fabulous restaurant, small and homely, serving up some excellent, authentic Tamil fare! Must try if you are in Glasgow and are craving a taste of home.

Simply amazing South Indian food. Great price and tasty too. I’d definitely come back again .- Nancet Marques

I ordered food in Uber eats on 18 sep 2024 1 non veg set meals (No soft drink given) 1 chicken biriyani (No Chicken at all it’s just Rice) 1 chilli chicken (Not received ) It’s not good and a bad experience I will not recommend this place to anyone

Very tasty and reasonably priced dosa. Chutneys were very tasty and not over spicy. Could improve bathroom situation.

Después de haber viajado mucho por la India y cocinado y comido comida india durante toda mi vida adulta, me sorprende decir que esta joya escondida de un lugar sirvió dos de los currys más sabrosos que he probado. ¡Así de bueno! Teníamos la sosa Masala, pollo Kurma del sur de la India, pollo con chile y ajo, arroz y popadomas x 2 ; un mango lassi para terminar - cambio de £ 40 ! Los currys no son demasiado aceitosos, perfectamente divididos y el equilibrio de sabor es otro mundano. El lugar estaba lleno de muchas mesas que complementan la comida y cuando hablé con dos adolescentes dijeron que sus Thalis eran excepcionales. Ojalá les hubiera hecho una foto sonriendo. No es un espacio enorme, pero el equipo es súper servicial y vale la pena esperar. Todo el personal realmente parecía preocuparse por toda la experiencia y el lugar estaba impecable. Recomiendo encarecidamente cenar para que la comida sea la prevista - directamente desde el chef a su mesa (pero eso es cierto para la mayoría de los alimentos). En resumen, si te gusta la comida del sur de la India, o si quieres probar algo nuevo y hacer feliz a tu barriga, ve aquí. Muchas gracias equipo - ya estoy deseando nuestra próxima visita.

Hands down, the best dosa I’ve ever had! The chicken korma was delicious as well. While the seating and atmosphere is not what I was impressed with and what it lacked made up with the quality of the food!

Amazing food! Aayushi was so helpful and pleasant when serving us, couldn’t be any better. Will be definitely be back for more Parotta! Amazing can taste that it’s made with love ❤️

Aayushi was the most brilliant host. The dosa’s were phenomenal!!! The paneer butter masala was not the best but the Malabar parotta so fresh so perfectly made!!! 10/10 recommend. Aayushi was so nice and helpful with some very great suggestions too. Defos deserves a bonus will be visiting again ❤️☺️

Great, quick, and super tasty! The service was super friendly but really efficient. Note that it's very small (only about 6-8 tables) but as the food comes out so fast, you won't be waiting long if it is full. Pictured is the King Dosa.

Amazing handmade dosa comes with three chutneys. Get it with the ghee.

Excellent Masala Dosa & masala chai!We will come back to eat here again for sure !

The food was amazing, it reminded my days back in Dubai, when I used to eat in Tamil restaurants. Aayushi's is very welcoming and serving with smile.

Fantastic food, very friendly staff and extremely reasonably priced

Great dosa and a very welcoming place. Been often now!

Fantastic food and great service from Aayushi! My favourite place for a curry in Glasgow. You must try the Guntur Kodi Vepudu, recommended by Aayushi.

Having travelled extensively in India and cooked and eaten Indian food for all of my adult life, I’m amazed to say that this hidden gem of a place served up two of the tastiest curries I’ve ever had. It’s that good. We had the masala dosa, South Indian Chicken Kurma, Garlic Chilli Chicken, rice and popadoms x 2; one mango lassi to finish - change from £40! The curries are not overly oily, perfectly portioned and the taste balance is other worldly. The place was packed with many tables complimenting the food and when I spoke with two teenage lads they said their Thalis were exceptional. I wish I had taken a photo of them grinning. It’s not huge but the team are super accommodating and it’s worth the wait. All the staff genuinely seemed to care about the whole experience and the place was spotless. I highly recommend dining in so the food is as intended - straight from the chef to your table (but that’s true for most foods). In short, if you love South Indian food, or if you’d like to try something new and make your tummy happy, go here. Thank you so much team - I’m already looking forward to our next visit.

Mi sobrino me recomendó Madhras Dosa, así que mi amigo y yo fuimos allí para almorzar ayer. Fue una delicia, tan poco típico de los restaurantes indios estándar... y así, mucho mejor. Los platos de tapas que comimos estaban recién hechos y absolutamente deliciosos, así como todo lo demás que tuvimos. Sin duda volveremos. Gracias por un almuerzo encantador lleno de sorpresas encantadoras.

Food is really tasty and affordable. Got aunthentic taske of Tamil food.

Simply awesome.. I had tasty food after so long time.

Taste just like original Indian... Food .. very authentic coming from a food critic...

By far the best and most authentic south Indian food outside of India. Tried many things on the menu - idly sambar, vada sambar, multiple varieties of dosa, uthappam and filter coffee - everything was delicious. Service was great. A must visit on any trip to Glasgow.

My favourite restaurant in Glasgow

Big fans of the old banana leaf but Madhras Dosa is even better, food was delicious and the service was excellent - even made sure we didn’t order too much food! BYOB as well - overall bill was very reasonable. Would recommend!

I took my 10yr son as he has decided to become a vegetarian with the misses and we had a wonderful meal here. The Malsla Dosa and Samba was fantastic as was the Lamb Dosa. It's a very low key place to eat more like a cafe and was very friendly and welcoming.

Best Masala Dosa I've ever had! Super delicious food and very friendly service. Would definitely recommend :)

Had dosa with family, The experience was delightful! The Dosa was perfectly crispy on the outside, with a soft and flavorful filling inside. The accompanying chutneys and sambar were fresh and well-balanced, complementing the dish perfectly. The service was excellent as well. The staff was attentive, polite, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and welcoming, making the overall dining experience very enjoyable. Thank you for the wonderful meal and service. I look forward to returning and trying more items from your menu!

Tasty dosa at a reasonable price! I appreciated the many vegetarian options, quick kitchen, and Ayushi’s professional service.

We love the the food here and it is amazing and really authentic. We come here regularly whenever we need an indian food fix. However, for the past few visits, the waitress had been really rude to us. her attitude changes and she was nicer to other customers around us. when she takes our order, it seems like she was annoyed at us and looked at a different direction when we placed our order. We were also not aware that curries are charged by portion size, when we placed the order, we weren't told about it, only until the bill arrives, we only realized there are different charges. The owner was really nice to us when he's in once but whenever this waitress is in, we do not know what to expect in terms of her attitude as it had already happened a few times and it made us feel really uncomfortable. Food is definitely 10 out of 10 but the attitude of the waitress is ruining the experience for us.

Absolutely love this place to bits, a Glasgow institution! Amazing original South Indian food, including my absolute favourite Mysore Masala Dosa (superhard to get in the UK). Only a couple simple tables and more of a takeaway atmosphere than a sit down restaurant but that's part of its charme. Service is super friendly and the food is always incredible!

Authentic taste and fantastic service

Delicious and authentic food in a nice informal setting, with friendly staff. Will definitely be back!

One of the genuine best indian food places i have ever gone to in my life. I can't even explain how good this is. All authentic and amazing!

Delicious meal, friendly staff and affordable price 💛🧡

One of the best food I have ever tasted. Worth to have it with nominal price. We were returning from Hiland and expected to reach in Glasgow around 11 pm. We thought most the restaurant closed by that time so we called Madhras and requested to prepare food for 17 People. They were not declined our request. Accepted and delivered tasty and quality food for us. Thanks for their kindness and great service. Keep doing the same for long.

Me encantó este lugar. Pequeño e informal estilo café, pero era ideal para comer antes del concierto en el stand de kelvingrove. La comida era increíble y diferente de las opciones de restaurantes habituales. La camarera nos ayudó mucho con el menú y nos hizo algunas recomendaciones geniales. Muy buena relación calidad-precio. Definitivamente volveré

The best south indian food place in all of the north of the UK! You will not find anything tastier, spicier and more delicious! Absolutely the best chefs from south indian! Kalakkuraanga!

Favorite place for South Indian food in Glasgow, especially Idli and dosa.!!

The food and the friendly atmosphere of restaurants was excellent Thanks for the magnificent lunch

The taste was amazing and enjoyable

Fantastic Food served During our Scotland trip. Professional Caterers for South Indian Foods. Special thanks to Ramya, Irai Anbu and Muthu

Had a fabulous food from this place.we tried chicken thali,ghee roast,paneer dosa and masala dosa.Each food was good in taste and feels real taste of Chennai.

Veg biryani had no veggies at all. Had high expectations from the rating. Pretty disappointed!

Amazing experience dining at Madhras Dosa. The food was delicious and lived up to our expectations. Special mention for Ayushi who was really good and efficient. Thanks to the chef for the special sweet coconut milk for the idiyappams. Thanks....

The most authentic, delicious southern Indian food you can get! We got the lamb dosa and the chicken dosa- both incredibly fresh, crispy and delicious. I especially love the daal that comes with them :) We were also big fans of the southern fish curry, got a tasty ‘dry’ lamb curry which was so tender, and lovely curry with chicken on the bone- all washed down with a jug of mango lassi 🥭 -perfect :) the staff are so friendly and accommodating. One of my favourite places to eat in Glasgow. I highly recommend eating in when you can rather than takeaway if you want dosa!

The Paneer Chettinad and massala dosas are to die for!

I visited this place with my Indian partner, so I could try dosa for the first time. Their masala and paneer masala dosa were absolutely delicious and the service was great, too!! I highly recommend to anyone wishing to try some traditional, and very affordable, Indian food.

Totally delicious dinner and super friendly staff.

Very good food sambar portions is too small if you want Dosa get king sizes you get more bang for your buck everything else was amazing lovely lady

Hi team, Really loved the food here. The only restaurant where we get good and authentic South Indian food. Aayushi been great at welcoming us to the restaurant 😊. Been here multiple times but missed Rava dosa which is not in the new menu, in fact miss the entire previous menu. Hopefully it will be brought back.

Just incredible. Very authentic South Indian cuisine. Large, flavourful dosa, reasonably priced. Brings back good memories of my trip to Chennai

Amazing Indian Dosa! A must try!

We had a delicious, authentic meal. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. We will most certainly be coming back.

Great food and service. The waitress was very nice and polite :)

Authentic taste and good service

Very delicious food, nice staff and affordable you will come.

Excellent food and service at a very decent price!

Glasgow's best South Indian restaurant, hands down. This is the best briyani I’ve ever had in Glasgow; it tastes just like it does in south India. All the foods are simply too delicious.

I ordered a Chicken King Dosa and Chicken set meal as takeaway. Both were very poor in quantity and also taste of food was terrible. Dosa was quite small and did not come with sambar. There were two chutneys. Meal was also extremely poor. Small quantity with one lentil and a couple of pieces of chicken. None tasted good. This is nowhere near a good dosa preparation. The meal can be anything but I expect good quantity and proper chicken portion. The ambience is very ordinary and somewhat not very clean.

The most authentic and delicious Indian food you can get in Glasgow ♥️

Aayushi was a wonderful waitress, friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding and great value for money. Will be back!

Masala dosa is superb. Super flaky paratha. Lovely place. Lovely staff. Very nice mango lassi. Excellent South Indian foods cooked well.

Had ordered few things via deliveroo and it was a paid order.There were items missing and the team didnt get back to ne yet even afyer i had raised it to them. Order No#3691

Loved it. The Dosas were massive and tasted incredible.

Visited for dine in , had bad service , late serving and staff serving was not at all responsive or even serving was very very bad . Ordered kothu parota , paneer dosa food was good .

Delicious dosas and great price!

Quite simply some of the best Indian food I've ever eaten, and I am Indian.

NYC food n nyc service speically thanks aushi

Regular customer here and ordered food for a party ! Food was yum and super hit with our guest. Owner is just the sweetest person !

The waitress was very kind and able to advise when I had tomato allergies. We really enjoy coming here when we are in the neighborhood.

We had lunch here around 1pm on a Saturday and the place was quiet enough to get fast service despite the crew being busy with what seems like a thriving take-away/delivery clientele. The food was not just good but GREAT. We had the Veg Kulambu, a new dish to us, and the paneer butter masala, an old favorite but spiced differently than we've had it before. The service was efficient and very kind, and prices and portion sizes reasonable. When we left at 1:30 the handful of eat-in tables was full but additional staff had arrived to ensure everyone was well attended. We look forward to returning.

Visited yesterday for dinner, I ordered Chicken 65 and Chicken dosa. Both were delicious and the chicken was tender. The chutney along with Chicken 65 was just perfect. The food was very filling and also budget friendly. Only 1 suggestion, it would be great if the sambar was a bit sweet and tangy.

Delicious, super authentic, best dosa I've had in Glasgow!

Today I visited first time and order for Masala Dosa , Everything was fantastic. The staff ( Ayushi ) was very courteous and suggested mango lassi and it was out of world.

Superb food for a great price! We had a mix of dosas, curry and the set meal- they all tasted amazing! If you are looking for a family ran place with authentic food this is the place to visit. Service was great too and they are super helpful with recommendations! We will definitely be back.

The food was very delicious, recalled my indian days and customer service (Ayushi) is very friendly and provided best service Thank you Madhras Dosa for maintaining high standards

Excelente comida por un gran precio! Tuvimos una mezcla de dosas, curry y comidas establecidas - todo increíble. El servicio era genial también! Definitivamente volvería.

One of the best restaurants in Glasgow! Amazing food and sensible temperature

Genuinely some of the best food I’ve ever had! 5 of us shared and every meal was delicious. The service was amazing and portions perfect.

Nice and small restaurant, if not for ambience... Great food! Highly recommend !

Phenomenal food, wonderful service from Aayushi, great prices and BYOB with no corkage charge....very hard to beat. Highly recommended.

Great place to eat South Indian food in Glasgow.

Perfect food! Authenticity at its best

Ordered a carry out dinner. Biryani was delightful and aromatic. Chicken 65 soft and full of flavour (not just garlic). Also in the order was masala dosa and veg biryani which received a thumbs up from my party. Overall super satisfied with my order and likely to return when next time in Glasgow.

Came here yesterday with my vegan pal. We both had masala dosas though there was SOOOO much on the menu I wanted to try. The dosa was so crispy and chewy, delicious, served with the potato curry in the middle and sambar and chutneys. So so so good. I'll definitely be back cos I want to try different dosas and the biryanis and thalis. Brilliant value! The waiter was a lovely guy and I love the decor inside, reminds me of lots of restaurants I ate in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Met the chef too and thanked him for a delicious meal. Nice chilled place.

The reviews were great, but the food was so so. We ordered and paid extra for large chicken curry for the boys to share, but the tub was the exact same size as my small container. The boys didn’t love the korma although I quite liked my red bean curry. Boys liked the dosa, but the poppadoms were a total rip off. Hardly any there. The dosa was expensive too. Overall, it wasn’t worth going back, maybe it would be better in the restaurant.
