Madras Dosa

We were quite hungry late on a weekday night when we discovered that we're a mile away from Madras Dosa. Not being from Boston, we had to do a double take on the timings since it was 11 pm on a Monday night and the restaurant was supposedly opened until 2 am (umm what?) -- this isn't something that we are used to. While we found a street parking spot outside the restaurant, it was surprising to find a line to order when we entered. We were warned there's going to be a 20 min wait for Dosas and 45 mins for a sandwich . There's limited seating inside but there are some tables outside the spot as well. We ordered the Pav Bhaji Dosa, Samosa Dosa and Spicy Podi Idli. The packaging and the chutney / sambhar dispenser in the to-go box was novel and well thought out. The Pav Bhaji dosa was amazing along with the fibrous chutney. The Podi Idli lived up to its name as well. The only miss in our book was the Samosa Dosa -- would have tasted better if the samosa was smashed more. We also liked our dosas crispy but these definitely weren't. All in all, we are grateful for finding this place and wouldn't hesitate to return again when we are in town looking for a quick snack.

Went to this place for lunch and order 2 dosas and one aloo tikki chat. And found a hair in the sambar (that came with one of the dosas) as soon as I opened it. Showed it to the cashier and she seemed apologetic and offered a replacement. That's when I noticed that the guy at the dosa making station and a guy in the back weren't wearing any protective hair cap. I took the replacement sambar thinking this was a one off mistake. But around half way through the chat I noticed another hair. I showed this to staff as well. And again noticed the guys weren't wearing any protective hair cap.The most disappointing thing is that the staff were super casual about this. Two hair in one order is a very bad look for this restaurant. Needless to say I'm never going back here.

Consistently tasty and more importantly very authentic south Indian food!I have a high bar for idlis and these are some of the best. Soft fluffy and quite a good size too. The coconut chutney was also very fresh and yummy!The only gripe I have is with the spiciness of the sambar. While the sambar itself was very tasty it was just too spicy. I really wish they had options to select mild, medium or spicy when ordering. My suggestion to the restaurant - either make the sambar less spicy or offer the option to have it on the mild side - please :). Ordered through GrubHub and it took a while but the driver apologized profusely for the delay. Some of the food was lukewarm or cold as a result but still tasty.Have ordered from here multiple times now and have enjoyed all the food. Overall great experience!

Authentic south Indian street food, open til 3 am. Fun outdoor seating with porch swings. Most items come out fast but the canteen sandwiches can take a while. Friendly staff!

Food here was delightful! My first time trying dosa and paani puri was so exciting, glad I came with a friend who taught me how to eat paani puri otherwise I would have eaten it all wrong. Paani puri has a crispy outer shell and it's filled with potato, onions, and crispies (not exactly sure what they're made of). You pour some of the liquid into the shells, and place the whole ball into your mouth. The whole bite with the mint water was so refreshing and an explosion of flavors! I came back a couple days later to enjoy paani puri again :) highly recommend!

Dosas come in a portable container that was sturdy enough to hold the three delicious sauces it came with for our car ride home! (I got it as a late night snack and then loved it so much that I could smother the next day for our trip back north!) seriously I dream about this place and can't wait to come back. I like keeping it simple with just spicy potatoes but adding in the lamb was also great!

Why 5 stars?-delicious. I had the paneer with upma on the side. Samosa was also A+. You'll receive multiple sauces with the food - open until 2am!!! Who knew dosa would be so therapeutic and soak up the residual and excessive cocktails??- reasonably priced for being in a generally overpriced area - prompt and courteous service There's limited indoor seating.

Stopped here for a quick bite while visiting Boston. It is in Seaport and within walking distance of the contemporary art museum and harbor.They have outdoor and indoor seating though inside was a bit humid and hot when I was there, I think there ac might not have been working.The dosa was alright flavor wise and I loved the big portion and sauces. I think next time I would just get a different flavor combo.Everyone was very courteous and helpful!

We ordered ghee dosa and filter coffee. Ghee dosa is not that crispy. It's too thick. Service was fast.Music is little loud, little hard hear when your name is being called or even to talk in the table. Filter coffee - it's actually not filter coffee, it's from machine. They should just call it Indian coffee.Things I like absolutely is the fact that they are open late and you get snacks and coffee even late at night

Nice and cozy place.Visited the outlet at Boston seaport. Had pav-bhajiand plain dosa. Coffee is from a vending machine. Dosa is freshly made. Nice, hot and spicy sambar with chutney.Limited seating space inside, and a few spots outside.
