To be honest I was never a big fan of southie food (where’s the meat?), but the picture of that dosa is so tantalising, and the recommendations for Saravanaas on this thread so compelling (especially since it’s a restaurant I’ve walked by many times), I decided to try it tonight with a friend…ordered idli as an appetizer, and rava masala dosa as the main entree…the food was delicious. The serving size was HUGE too…still feeling full so many hours later. Thanks to ANNA for starting this thread and all the commenters for pointing me in the right direction. I definitely plan to go back there sometime soon. And I am now officially a dosa fan.

Behold, the power of dosa pr0n.

Oh – and Flashdance did not star a Jessica :p (which is a good thing, because both were too young back then, and only one – Biel – turned into an actress anyway!)

Wait …. so was this today?

I keed – the company was great, food was good, the service was friendly (well, they did beat one of us up – but only one!), and the babies – they were loud!

Next time you put up a picture of dosa on the front page, make sure there are a few flies circulating around the sambar cup.

Camille, We tried out Woodlands in Fremont last weekend ( Near Bombay Garden and in the same strip mall as Spice hut)

I had a major craving for good South Indian food ( I get a craving once every 3 months that must be fulfilled!)

Had the thali and it was excellent ( Side note: Why , oh why, must decent Southie restaurants ruin the thali by adding one gratuitous and poorly executed Northie dish ? This time it was poorly executed 'channa').Another family member had a dosa that was superb.

Like you , I also mourned the fact that from the east bay one has to trek all the way to the South Bay to get a decent rasam fix .But I heart woodlands

I have never consumed dosa with a fork.

What’s that expression? Eating dosa with a knife and fork is like showering with a raincoat on…
