London: Good dosa near Hyde Park?

[Missy]

Hi all,

My husband is going to London in a couple weeks and is having dinner with someone who wants to eat dosa. They're staying off Hyde Park. Can anyone suggest a good option nearby. Or elsewhere if not there. It doesn't have to be dirt cheap, since it's on the company's dime.

Thanks.
Missy

I second Woodlands, they do great paper dosas and masala dosas.

Hi Missy
This might be a little stale since your husband may have made plans by now, but can I suggest a small adventure if time allows? In an NY context this would be like a 20 minute subway ride to find good pizza. Take the Underground District Line to East Ham. Exit the station, cross the road, bear a little to the right - past the sci-fi memorabilia shop with daleks in the window - and you'll find Suvai. The dosai here are very, very good and come in a huge variety. The staff will cheerfully guide you through the menu, but my recommendation for a side is the garlic chilli chicken (bottom right-hand corner of the menu) which is simply one of the best things I have ever encountered in many a face-stuffing year. And although your husband may be on exes, he won't need the company plastic 'cos he'll be hard put to spend more than $US35 for two and still be able to walk out the door.

Although in London the actual journey time is going to be at least 40 minutes if not longer.

And if there's a bit of rain, snow or some leaves, you will be lucky the District line gets you there at all!

[MrManners]

Quite right PhilD, having looked into it 40 minutes is indeed nearer the mark. And 2 changes! Nevertheless a worthwhile journey if time is less of a consideration.

It depends which side of Hyde Park really but you might want to take a look at the Rasa, Sagar or Woodlands chains.
