Loaded cheese fries Net −1

“Also tried the Pav vada bun which was ok & the Punjabi thaal was pretty average at best. Loaded cheese fries were just so basic.”
Masala bondas Net −1

“What makes it worse is that the quality doesn’t even come close to justifying the price. I’ve had much better masala bondas from nearby shops for AED 2 each. The taste was poor, the chai didn’t feel fresh, and overall it was one of the most disappointing snack experiences I’ve had.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5

Visit off-peak. Try visiting outside busy periods; one review says the food stayed good but service suffered when the restaurant was under pressure.

Try coffee. Add Chennai filter coffee to a dosa or snack order; it is one of the most consistently praised drinks in the reviews.

The Bottom Line

Dosa Plaza is a vegetarian South Indian restaurant in Umm Hurair built around an unusually expansive dosa selection. You can stick with a classic masala dosa, try a benne or ghee roast version, or explore fusion choices such as cheese, Schezwan and paneer chilli dosa. Filter coffee is a natural finish, with reviewers describing it as thick and strong.

The menu goes beyond dosas, too. Customers mention sambar vada, mini tiffins, samosa chaat, pav bhaji, Punjabi thali and Mumbai-style snacks, so mixed groups have plenty to work with. The dining room is described as clean, comfortable and spacious enough for small or large groups, including family occasions.

There is some inconsistency to keep in mind. Several diners report warm, helpful service, but others describe rushed table handling or poorer service under pressure; visiting outside peak hours may help. Food quality is also not uniform across every order, with isolated complaints about stale pani puri shells and lukewarm medu vadas.

For takeaway, be cautious with dosa orders: one reviewer said the packaging made the dish deteriorate quickly. Metro users have reported that the restaurant is very near Burjuman station’s Exit 1 side.
