very nice place to have a yummy dinner with friends & family.... loved dum biryani, goat curry & tandoori platter also a delicious mango kulfi.
We went there along with the other family friends with no expectations but after having tried most of the varieties of food we all loved it amazingly. Place is neat with good ambience and the staff are overwhelming. Overall we all were happy to be there and it's a place to be revisited.
Best food in Melbourne, the dosa are pretty yummy feeling like having food in india. Loved it. Highly recommend.
Best place in Melbourne to get good traditional Indian food. Definitely recommend.
Good customer & ambience.
Delicious food, excellent service.
Not only is the dosai extremely delicious but the service is superb. Must have: dosai!
Price wise is reasonable. Definitely worth going and trying.
Dosa is one of the best starter here !!! I had the chicken dosa which was amazing crispy and had the perfect masala !!!!!
Amazing Indian authentic food, especially Dum biryani both chicken and goat.

Great ambience, tasty food and promt service. A must visit place.
Had been here for dinner & they treat the guest very loyal, service is really superb, taste of Chicken biryani here is really awesome, it will relish your taste buds would like to try more dishes
I used to go here a lot when I was studying at Uni. I have eaten Idli my whole life, but I had chili idli for the first time here and it was love at first sight with it. They have a lot of amazing dishes but I think they are the best in preparing Indo-Chinese dishes that we all love and want more of.
📍Location:332 Burwood Road , Hawthorn
🖼Ambience: I felt it could have been more lively place with some soft Indian music but overall calm ambience
👩🏻🍳👨🏻🍳Staff: Quiet Reserved
🍛🍲Food: So i happen to be craving to have some good spicy Indian Biriyani and guess what this was one of the best biriyanis i have had in Melbourne.
We had a Chicken Dum Biriyani which was spicy and was cooked to perfection with the right aroma and authentic Indian spices to uplift the taste which was accompanied with curd.I totally loved it and will buy again!
✅Overall :4/5 Must try their biriyani!
We came across Dosa Cafe after walking out of D'Tandoor (down the road) for bad service, and so glad we did! As soon as we entered we were greeted with a smile. I love butter chicken so ordered it. My Sri Lankan friend suggested we also order paneer tikka and fish masala. All the dishes were delicious. I never had paneer tikka before, it was so soft and nicely flavoured with tandoori. The fish masala was the sofest fish curry I've ever had, it was melt in the mouth. We were really full but then my friend saw kulfi (ice cream) and described how delicious they are, so we ordered the mango and pistachio. Omg they were perfect - you can taste the mango and pistachio in both. Will definitely go back.

They have awesome biryani. always our favourite for take away when we are hungry. We did have upset stomach with their south indian food twice so staying away from that.
Wanting to leave a review after trying the food there. My partner and I were craving curry, and walked past this place and turned back inside to give it a go. Immediately we were greeted with excellent service, the waitress Carita was extremely patient with us and very eager to help.
The food was great. We ordered our first dosa. These are HUGE, but very tasty. Also go some vegetarian Korma and samosas.
We walked back past Cafe Dosa to go to the cafe next door, and Carita ran after us to return our bag to us. One of the best waitresses I’ve had.
I have visited Dosa cafe almost 3 times now... good food ... has improved in taste. We always like the chicken 65 and onion masala dosa !! Staffs are good and very gentle.
Definitely the best dosa I've had in Melbourne! Prices are sooo reasonable for the huge portions of the dosa. I've also tried their Indo-Chinese menu and that was excellent as well. Most Australians won't understand what on earth is Indo-Chinese cuisine but it's one of the world's best cuisines that only Indians will know about!
Convenient location near swinburne uni with good deals for lunch($9-$11)! The portions are a little small but their pricing makes up for it I guess. Service definitely not up there but if you're just there for a quick lunch you'd hardly notice. I enjoyed the butter chicken - can't say anything about authenticity but definitely tasty :)
We have taken our little family here since the week it opened. I've converted my husband to Indo-Chinese and my kids to Dosa. Some of the lightest and crispiest Dosa on offer. The Irani Chai is heavenly. The staff are just darling. In our top picks.
I ordered the lamb vindaloo for take away. Pretty happy with it- not too greasy. Prompt service. Will definitely go back to try out the dosa.
Excellent little place. The dosa was massive and delicious - totally forgot how much I'd been missing it. Cheap, healthy and perfect for a sit-down lunch or takeaway! Enjoyed it and will definitely be back.
Been wanting to try this place for a while. Service was very pleasant and food was delicious! Definitely worth trying one of the Dosas. We also had the plain Dosa, Lamb Rogan Josh, Paneer Tikka Masala, Naan and Saffron Rice! Really yummy and will be back. Loses 1/2 point for the lack of background music.
Good food, very inexpensive prices. Taste is very excellent every time I prefer to go to this restaurant. Highly recommend chicken korma loved.
Fantastic meal tonight for five. Authentic food with great Pakora, Chicken Tika, Uttappam and Masala Dosa. Great value and very friendly staff.
Been ordering from Dosa Cafe fairly recently and this place has the best indo-chinese dishes that you may find in Melbourne.The curries have a south indian touch to it for example
curry leaves in chicken manchurian etc but that's how i love it.Have heard good reviews about their dosas from friends.
The best dosa is here! I had plain dosa, set dosa and mysore masala dosa here. And all of them were simply superb. Unusually for a restaurant dosa, the dosas were not dripping oil. The chutney and sambar were very good to. We also tried the schezwan veg noodles which was by far the best Indian-Chinese dish we have had in Melbourne.
The ambience and service were very pleasant. They made us feel welcome and revisit. I would definitely recommend this place.
One of the best Indian Restaurants. Very tasty food and good service.
They are selling sweets for mother’s days special and the food was awesome has to try and highly recommend
Amazing food in the town! 5 star service. Thanks Arun for arranging everything on time.
We really had an amazing time!
Thank you so very much!
I would recommend everyone to visit Dosa Cafe for sure😍
Delicious South Indian food, fresh and authentic
One of the best Indian restaurants around Hawthorn. Have visited them for more than 10 times. Slightly on the spicier side, the flavour are authentic esp. the dosa chutneys and sambhar. Their Indo Chinese is probably top notch amongst Indian restaurants around Melbourne. Parking can be a challenge. Chef Praveen deserves the full credit for this review.
We ate dosa here and it was so delicious..😋🤩💯
