Ganesh Dosa is beyond 5 stars!I like the Serrano pepper dosa it's like a dream in your mouth.Service?Amazing happy to help and super kind!Ambiance?So clean, it's really clean and its drink options are nice.I always enjoy coming back to this amazing Ganesh Dosa!!

I LOVE this place! I'd never had a dosa before but love Indian food so had to try this place. Dosas are Indian crepes, but with a better texture. Somehow they are soft and also chewy...hard to describe it, you'll just have to try it! I have only ever gotten The Supreme, it's so good I've never tried anything else. It has smashed potatoes masala, sun dried tomatoes, and spinach, I substitute avocados for the cheese. I've tried with with both the coconut chutney and the tomato chutney...I can't pick a favorite- they're both so good, but so different. Dosas also come with soup. I can't recall what it is, but it's really delicious. They have sparkling water and some canned and bottled juice or green tea options to drink. They have indoor and outdoor dining. The outdoor dining area is cute and has umbrellas which is nice on sunny days to protect from the sun. If you work anywhere near here it's a great place for a quick yet healthy lunch. They also have told me to call ahead to order or order online, which can be great in a hurry or a short lunch break. (I only wish their online ordering had dish descriptions and not just the names of the item). All in all I highly recommend.

First off, the place was very clean. I was greeted right away and being my first time, asked for recommendations. Everything was explained well, and while lentils don't sound exciting, I was pleasantly surprised at how good everything tasted. I am no expert on Indian food but I imagine the food here is a bit of a fusion style vs. very traditional. I also ordered the California which seemed like an indian version of a quesadilla. The tomato chutney also seemed like an Indian version of salsa. It was tasty and I didn't feel that kanak attack after like I might have with an actual quesadilla. The soup made me feel like I was eating something healthy, and wasn't too salty like soups can be. As I left, the person at the counter asked me by name (that was kind of shocking that he would remember it!) how I liked the food. I said it was great. Would love to come back and try some of the other selections.

Only tried the soup, but that was delicious! Was served up quick, and can usually find a parking spot to run in for takeout.

The service is quick. It's a small place for quick grabs. The food is not great but good for a non Indian making it. Tried their classic and was ok

Tried this place based on the reviews and it didnt disaapoint in the taste. We tried 3 varieties of dosas, all of them made to perfection. The chutneys are amazing. Only complaint i have is the ampunt of oil the dosas came with, was bit much than normal. Chai tasted good

My first time have a dosa and I was missing out! The crepe was so crispy with a good texture, and I loved the ingredients inside! I got the chefs recommendation and the chef didn't fool me lol. Best to eat it fresh there - the half I ate at the restaurant definitely tasted better than the other half I had after being in the air fryer at home. It also came with a sambar (lentil soup) that had all the delicious spices in it. So hearty and healthy. The service was great. The ladies behind the counter were very nice. There's a part of the Kailua square so you can either park at the parking lot or use street parking. It's on the side where the parking lot is near cinnamons.

What a wonderful lunch experience! I met my friend for lunch in Kailua today, I've never heard of Ganesh Dosa before or Dosa in general. What IS Dosa?Dosa is a traditional South Indian crepe made of fermented rice and lentils.It is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.The employee was very friendly to explain what Dosa was. I ended up ordering the Chef's Recommendation which was potato masala, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes; avocado, olives for $19. It came with some Sambar soup.It was my first time eating dosa or sambar soup and i really enjoyed it! You could get it was tomato or coconut chutney and I chose the tomato which was like a salsa. The potato has a curry sauce which was yum and the avocado nice and fresh. The whole crepe was really good! Best to eat the crepe fresh there because it's nice and crispy! The ambience of the inside seating is small but had adequate seats on a friday lunch. It's a nice quiet place to chat and talk story and relax. Parking is metered parking but 75 cents an hour is not bad. I will be back to try more things! generous portions and i was so full after.

Ganesh Dosa is a gem in Kailua that offers unique, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free food that you don't find often in Hawaii! This was actually my frist time trying a dosa. A dosa is made from a fermented batter of ground black lentils and rice- think Southeast Asian Crepe. I came by after shopping at the Sunday market nearby- one of the vendors I was shopping at was enjoying their Chef's recommendation dosa ($19) with potato masala, mozzarella cheese, tomato, avocado, olives. I decided to go all in and ordered the "Full Belly" dosa for $20 and a refreshing mango lassi for $7. The full belly dosa was made with potato masala, goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, avocado. If you know me, if there's something on the menu with goat cheese- I'm going to try it. The dosa came with sambar soup made with lentils and vegetables, that was great to dip the dosa in and slurp on the side. You also get a chutney- offering a choice between coconut or tomato chutney. I opted for the coconut chutney,since it is the spicier option. It didn't disappoint - the perfect blend of creamy and fiery, complementing the dosa in every bite.I don't have any dietary restrictions but it's heartening to see a restaurant not just accommodate but celebrate dietary preferences.

Another delicious and filling meal @ GD! Came today from town for their Halloween special: order a Nutella Dosa ($9) and you get a free chai tea - perfect for a rainy "colder" day in Hawaii. What a treat! Nutella Dosa reminded me of an Indian version of a Kinder Bueno bar since there's the crunch from the dosa and creamy Nutella inside. Just with a slight tang from the fresh dosa batter. Not for everyone, but we really enjoyed it. Recommend as a dessert option if you're wanting to share. Full Belly Dosa ($18) never disappoints! We always order that when we come. Fast and friendly service.GD has our continued support, we come to Kailua especially for these dosas sometimes :)
