Love Dosas? Here Are The Best Places That Serve It In Delhi NCR!

Craving some authentic dosas? Order in or dine in at these twelve amazing restaurants in Delhi NCR.

Whenever we think of South Indian cuisine, Dosas are one of the first (if not THE first) things that come to our minds. And let’s just face it, Dosas are one of the best food inventions of all time! They’re flavourful, delicious, and relatively healthy when compared to all the junk food we binge eat on a regular basis. While some of us love our plain masala dosas, others prefer exploring more options in terms of flavours and fillings. And so, catering to all sorts of preferences, we’ve rounded up a list of the best dosa places in Delhi NCR, where you can find an amazing variety of dosas!

1. Sagar Ratna

One of the most popular food chains in Delhi NCR, Sagar Ratna is known for its South Indian fare. While they’re quite famous for their thalis, which are available at pocket-friendly prices, their dosas definitely take the prize for us! They showcase the perfect amount of crispness and yet have a thick texture that perfectly holds all the filling inside them. Some of their popular dosas are the Rava Mysore Paneer Dosa, Masala Dosa, Rava Onion Masala Dosa, Mysore Masala Dosa, and Butter Masala Dosa, just to name a few.
