Pappu Dosa in South Gloucestershire

Very good, tasty food. Friendly staff and good services.

Breakfast thali is really good🤤🤤🤤

One of the best Authentic Indian food.

Brilliant Indian food. We just keep doing there to satisfy our Indian taste buds. Highly recommended.

Amazing food. Must try their lunch meal and breakfast meal

Amazing food and staff! Great prices, and incredibly helpful with allergies!

The most brilliant restaurant in the area!!

Very nice Indian dhaba style. Feels like back in India. Food is good too. Friendly staff. Always good to see Richa. She’s very helpful and friendly. Amazing service

What an amazing place! The people were so friendly and kind clearly loved what food they made. Honestly if you are looking for some great food, you have to try it! We had a fest, drinks and pudding that was really reasonable

Great food, always happy to give needed allergy info and accommodate if they can.

Delicious chole bhature perfectly puffed bhature with rich, tangy chole. The food is authentic, service is friendly, and prices are reasonable. A top spot for South and North Indian favorites. It’s a favorite spot for a quick, tasty, and satisfying meal. Highly recommended by regulars and newcomers alike.

Amazing experience in food taste and service; Richa, Ali, Zakir and rest of the team, thank you 🙂

Lovely food and service! Mango lassi and the filter coffee served reminds us of home ! Must try when in Bristol :)

Been a fan of Pappu Dosa since the past 1.5years. Go to place for Indian food and treats.

This place is a one off, amazing food and better service.

Been our go to for 3 years now. Authentic and simple

If I could give it negative stars, I would. This was not food – this was punishment. I don’t know what on earth they served us, but calling it Indian food is an insult to the entire subcontinent. I’ve eaten better cardboard. What they gave us was bland, soggy nonsense. Absolutely no flavour, no spice, no soul. We were so excited to have dosas, and instead we got a wet, lifeless wrap. But it didn’t end there – a few hours later, we were all doubled over in pain. Me and my friends had horrible stomach aches, and had to drink antacids. Even that didn’t work, because whatever filth we ate had already declared war inside our bodies.

I had a very disappointing experience at this Indian food store. The food quality was extremely poor, and more importantly, the hygiene was absolutely unacceptable. The place looked unclean, and the way the food was being handled made me seriously question their cleanliness standards. I would not recommend this place to anyone who cares about food safety and basic hygiene.

I don’t usually write reviews, but my experience at Pappu Dosa was honestly one of the worst I’ve had. Despite the hype, good photos, and reviews, the food was a huge disaster. After eating, I felt nauseous and extremely uncomfortable, almost like my body was rejecting the food. It tasted nothing like authentic Indian cuisine, and as someone from India, I can confidently say the quality was far below acceptable. I wasn’t expecting a perfect replica of Indian street food, but at the very least, I expected basic hygiene, digestibility, and decent taste. Unfortunately, the food was not just bland but felt indigestible and left me feeling sick. It was genuinely disappointing and felt like a waste of both time and money. Definitely not worth the hype. Would not recommend.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant since the days it used to operate from a truck ,back then it was genuinely good, authentic and popular. Sadly, things have gone downhill. The dosa, once the star of the menu, is now a shadow of what it used to be. Prices are shockingly high, even posh dosa places in town offer better value. Staff looked miserable and disinterested, like they didn’t want to be there. In my opinion, the pricing, portion size, food quality and service all need serious attention. This review is based on my personal experience.

Excellent food, authentic Indian flavours..

Had best experience and very good service

Pappu Dosa is the best in Bristol when it comes to authentic South Indian food ! The taste is excellent ! The staff is super excellent and the owner’s Timmy and Maya are super duper excellent ! Having Pappu in Bristol is a blessing :)

We travelled all the way from Scotland and it was completely worth it.

We have food here so regularly..almost once or twice a week. We introduced all our friends to Pappu Dosa as well. Food is affordable, super delicious!! Richya and I have even became friends. All other staff is also fantastic!!

Really enjoyed the masala dosa with all the condiments. The staff were friendly and considerate. The atmosphere was calm and comfortable, simple not too posh. Will definitely come again for the food.

Excellent value for money, is an understatement !

Best Indian Street food in Bristol for sure. Staff is always very friendly and never been disappointed. Frequent Visitor 😊

All time favourite for Breakfast,Lunch and dinner….The food taste enhances taste buds..Reminds me of Indian Street Food.Staff is too friendly at patchway branch

Taste is really good.. Onion dosa utthappam and Chola Bhathura is really good.

Need to improve the speed of service. Horrible experience.

Fantastic service and amazing food. Be warned the dosas are massive and incredibly tasty!

We are two recently retired NHS Consultants and love Pappu Dosai, the Patchway Branch. We pop in almost once a week. The South Indian food including the thali , the dosai, the idlis, the sambar and the chutneys remind us of the udipi vegetarian restaurants in Chennai. Absolutely love the food and the sweet South Indian filter coffee. We live in Newport, Wales and come across the border at least once a week for the idlis and dosais. Ritcha and Ali are so welcoming and we look forward to having a chat with them on less crowded days. Previously, we used to travel to Swansea for a decent dosai and Pappu dosai Patchway, is God send for us. Authentic delicious South Indian food and with Ritcha and Ali, it makes it near perfect for us. Parking is easy , compared to the Easton branch. We have introduced a number of our friends to this branch with a visit this morning with my niece and family from Chennai. They were equally impressed with the thalis they had.

An homage to real Indian food. I come here to Pappu Dosa Patchway every time I want a taste of India. The team here is extremely friendly and customer focused. Really nice environment with beautiful north and south indian dishes, chats and snacks that are delicious, fresh and affordable. Highly recommend to everyone.

Everytime I feel I miss the taste of India, this is where I come. Absolutely fantastic food and a wonderful environment. Every bite takes me back. Hats off to Timmy and the team at Pappu Dosa Patchway, Richa, Ali and the others, for staying true to the recipes and doing it real justice. The team at Patchway are extremely warm and friendly, serving authentic north and south indian tiffin items and meals that are delicious and freshly prepared. Their dosa are delightful, the breakfast buffet and lunch thalis are titanic and make you sink into your seat in the best possible way. The noodles are great and the paneer 65 rocks. All at very affordable prices. The cutlery, the music, the ambience, all of it are reminiscent of authentic eateries found in the corners of any Indian streets. For anyone looking to experience what Indian tiffins and meals are about, head here without hesitation. Best wishes to the entire team!

I've had many 'favourite places' over the years, including in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka, and Pappu Dosa's tucked-away spot in Patchway is right up there with the best of them. The welcome is always warm and friendly, like walking into your auntie's fragrant, bustling kitchen. Ordering can be done smoothly via a wall-mounted unit, while more elaborate requests are cheerfully received at the adjacent counter. The bijou venue with its modest tiled interior, smart stainless steel counters and plain formica dining suites juxtaposes the simplicity of the Pappu Dosa concept with the sensory delight which is the menu itself: the chefs, who make complex culinary processes seem elegant and effortless, work at pace to turn out street food like it's cuisine. Flavour and texture is everything in this kitchen -whether a newcomer to to South Indian food or someone looking for an authentic taste, Pappu Dosa will deliver.

I’m from Chennai in South India which is the place for dosas. I dined with my family here. I had dosas and idlis which are as good as what we get back home. Three cheers to the chef and the whole friendly team out there. Keep this going.

The staff does not have the manners to talk, especially the girls. If you are serving the food in anger then how will the food taste😑

Everything is alright but a girl there is very rude. Teach her to treat customers well. I think there is no mean to come again because she is going to insult again

Great service from Yaxeet, very friendly and accommodating

Vegetarian menu. Amazing food with a good variety on the menu. Brilliant atmosphere, well worth a visit.

Authentic South Indian food in Bristol. Frequently visit this place in patchway for quick snack to meal. Always greeted by friendly staff. We like their unlimited Indian thali and buffet breakfast. Definitely recommend visiting for south Indian food.

This place has a good indian vibe. They have a good verity of menu. Loved the masala dosa specials. Filter coffe sips took me back to india for a while. I recommend to have the dosa right away as it gets cold soo fast.

Nice Restaurant.!! Friendly service with Mr. Prasaham

Review Title: Repeated Delays, Poor Service, and Unjust Delivery Charges Rating: ⭐☆☆☆☆ Review: I’ve been waiting for a long time for my delivery. The delivery driver repeatedly showed up at the dosa shop, only to leave again to search for a new driver. This caused significant delays and left me waiting much longer than expected. As a result, I was late for my commitments, which is extremely frustrating. On top of that, I paid a delivery charge, but the service was far from satisfactory. If the delivery process isn’t efficient, then what’s the point of paying for delivery? The lack of coordination and communication is very disappointing. I hope Paapu Dosa can address this issue and improve the delivery process for their customers.

Small establishment with good food

very nice food always staff always welcome always willing 2 help

It's really amazing authentic food. We love as family & visit there more than 4 or 5 times in a month. So good

Amazing South Indian food must try

The taste of Dosa was authentic and loved their ghee idli. One downside was the range of drinks which was limited. Otherwise definitely recommend!

The plain dosa were nice however the service was pretty shoddy to be honest. Not welcoming and felt like they didn't want any business. The place can do with a revamp.

Their quality and quantity of food is rapidly declining I believe they have sold the business to someone! Very unfortunate and disappointing…

Went with family this is some of the best indian food I have had in Bristol!!

I had a wonderful experience with delicious food. I tried the dosa, and it was really great.

Delicious Indian meal worth the detour from the m4 - very tasty masala dosas and perhaps the best samosas we’ve ever had!

Very nice food and best service by Ali and richa ☺️

We were served by Prash...such a gem of a person he is...made our experience super amazing!!

Its always lovely to visit Pappu dosa. I like all of his Indian street food. Indo Chinese all you can eat is like cherry on the cake! Prash is always a lovely host and so is Tim! Thanks Pappu for serving Bristol🙂

Incredibly good South Indian food and the staff are sound AF. I pretty much go once a week as it’s such good value for money!

Big group of us visited.. the food was excellent. Extremely attentive and piping hot food. Superb playlist on the stereo as well, just got remembrance of my national flag🇮🇳 with the representation of chutney's😜😜We'll most definitely be going back..❣️

Prasham is excellent staff, very good customer service

Really tasty and properly authentic. Great value and friendly service. Would absolutely recommend!

Nice food.. south Indian restaurant with bench and table sitting... The good part is all orders are prepared on spot and hence, service is delayed but I would consider this fresh preparation as good point.. The masala tea is good but overpriced for the quantity.. The good part is the order is completely self service and only 3 people preparing and calling out orders... The restaurant is quite popular for dinner i believe as when we entered it was hardly had people but by the time we left, it was 70% full.. The dosa is really good, chola bhatura is okish..chilli paneer is good quantity wise .. taste wise good as well..

Amazing food, real flavour n gets the mouth going. Good vibe friendly and communal. So many things to try n indulge in.

Vile , wry cold , and missing what I ordered , please never order anything from here , and never refund anything , just ignored me , please never use this terrible service

Make sure to get here early for lunch, it gets busy

We have wanted to eat here for a long time but the original location was a bit far - we live in Bath - so pleased to finally try to the Easton location. Clean, friendly establishment. Awesome dosa and lived up to expectation. I do wish I had asked for vegan options, but as it was all veg (I had the plain dosa which usually is vegan it didn't say it on menu) but wait staff was very helpful and patient with other customer questions. Would make the journey again for sure! Would recommend as authentic friendly and delicious- also very good value. Thanks for a nice lunch out!

Great food mainly a takeaway but seating is there and self service.

We visited Pappu Dosa in Easton for breakfast today, what a fantastic experience, the food was delicious and great value, they keep refilling your plates on the breakfast Thali, this is probably the best vegetarian Indian food that we have eaten, we will be back when next in Bristol.

Taste wise Food is very good….. 3 Star because of the Service they provide.

The food with authentic Indian taste. A must visit place , if you are in Bristol for a day 😌

My comfort place! They serve really good south Indian food. Only complaint i have is its freezing cold in there, wish they install couple of more heaters or improve the insulation.

Food was good served by Prasham highly recommend.

Excellent taste..prash service was good.

I think the phrase hidden gem is banded about too much, for places that aren't gems and aren't hidden. Pappu dosa is a hidden gem. Amazing food and service here. Best masala dosa I have had outside of Asia.

I've never tried anything this authentic. Amazing food!

Can go wrong with any order, always best quality and reasonable price. Fresh out of the kitchen, all vegetarian, hygiene rating 5, hassle free ordering system if you are dining in . Pappu dosa is a must visit if you are craving for authentic vegetarian south Indian cuisine

Tasty food real South Indian experience.if you are from south India you must try the food in Pappu dosa

Staff was not helpful, customer service was atrocious. Found a rubber band inside a samosa that my 7 years old son was mid eating. Lost appetite and staff weren’t even that sorry. Hygiene was bad and atmosphere was horrid and no heating either while it’s freezing December. I am certainly never coming here again!!

Authentic flavour and great value. Nice people too

Must visit place! Such a tasty food had some thali included. poori, dosa, idli and Medu Vada and something more with multiple chutni option also had filer coffee everything was above and beyond expectation just loved it! It’s been long had a good food so had to make a take away for lunch 😁❤️ mmmmmm good food……

It's a small shop don't expect it to be a great place to eat in but i did enjoyed the eat in atmosphere it's a different feel but food is great and awesome very tasty and economical too

Great value for food and authentic taste !

Consistent, conversation, friendly

Very simple and beautiful restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing and the fact that the restaurant is pure vegetarian makes it even better! Very good balance of flavours and spice. The location is a bit daunting as you approach mainly because is in a residential area so we thought originally that we were in the wrong location. Definitely worth a visit if you are up for an authentic Indian food.

Best south indian restaurant in north bristol

One of the best Indian cuisines. Friendly staff. You can order the food using your smartphone; however, the payment is after the dine in. All the food had arrived within 15 min. Food is delicious,plenty of dining space and a well maintained toilet.

100% best Indian fast food in the town. Very quick service, wonderful staff. Prash and his colleagues are very friendly. Definitely recommend. Parking could be a problem, but worth the visit. Best chole and vada pav. Coffee is too good. Delicious dosas.

10/10 authentic south Indian food. Such good value. Lovely staff and nice new central location

Really good food ,we tried different types of dosas which was really good felt like home food

Amazing Service and Atmosphere. Food is very Tasty and hygienic. Staff is very friendly. Prices are cheaper then others. Must Visit if you are in Bristol.

Most delicious South Indian food with phenomenal service. Such friendly atmosphere, the staff and other customers were all so warm and happy. They gave great recommendations of what to order. Definitely pay pappu a visit!!

Nice and simple vegetarian foods to grab in Patchway and nearby. Affordable and great meals plan offered on certain days. Ample parking just Infront of the shop. Small-medium number of table and chairs inside and ok for small families and friends.

“I was extremely disappointed with the portion sizes in the buy-one-get-one offer. While the deal seemed great on paper, the reality was far from it. The portion sizes were shockingly small, as if they had been cut down just because it was a promotion. It felt like I barely got a full meal for the price I paid, and the ‘free’ second item was even smaller! This is a blatant attempt to deceive customers under the guise of a good deal. If you’re going to offer a promotion, at least maintain the standard portions. I won’t be returning.”

After saw an advert on instagram thought let’s visit this place.Was overwhelming happy after i left.Order taker Richa was polite & friendly with us i came with my family from Gloucestershire. Ali chef makes the best dosa in whole southwest big salute to him.Texture of dosa was so crispy & fresh.Very good portion of potato fillings inside with several chutney’s.A humble request do open in Gloucestershire also pls.We miss pure vegeterian dishes here.Already recommended your place to friend’s and family already ❤️

Wonderful little place, Food is great. Really love their Dosas and Bhatura Channa.

Beautiful, authentic Indian food at a really good price. This place is a hidden gem and feels like stepping into Mumbai, loved the food, experience and service :)

Delicious AUTHENTIC South Indian dishes and Vada Pav with a very good PRICE, QUALITY & QUANTITY.

Tasty street style Dosa. Great to pop in - eat and go. Pav Bhaji (Brioche bun, toasted served with a sauce) was excellent too as was the Mango Lassi

We arrived around 21:00 and the place was lively and busy, yet the food came super quickly. Staff were super friendly and gave us some recommendations for vegan options off the menu. I'd especially recommend the paper dosa (the indo-chinese dish was also lovely but very very salty)
