The Good Stuff
Soft Idlis
Several breakfast reviews describe the idlis as soft and fresh, with chutneys and sambar adding a homemade touch.
Mutton Biryani
Mutton biryani is repeatedly singled out for its aroma, tender meat, generous portion and accompanying daalcha, raitha and sweet.
Parotta Pairings
Soft parotta works especially well with the restaurant’s mutton, chicken and kuruma dishes.
Fresh Chutneys
One long-term breakfast customer calls the chutneys the standout detail behind the restaurant’s authentic taste.
Family Friendly
A family visit was described as welcoming, with staff giving families special priority during the meal.
Tamil Flavours
Reviews highlight Tamil-style rasam, fish meals and homely brinjal curry alongside the South Indian staples.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Breakfast. For breakfast, consider the Ghee Podi Mysore Masala Dosa, praised for its crisp, spiced and ghee-coated finish.
Check Orders. If ordering delivery, confirm the dish before accepting it; one customer received plain rava instead of rava masala dosa.
Skip Soup. The veg soup drew a particularly negative review, so breakfast or dosa options may be a safer first order.
Consider Biryani. For a non-vegetarian meal, mutton biryani has been praised for aroma and tender meat, while another review found the portion generous.
Inspect Bulk Orders. For large biryani orders, check each parcel on delivery: a customer found two or three portions had unusually small chicken pieces.
Try Coffee. If you want a simple finish after breakfast, the filter coffee is described as strong and aromatic.

The Bottom Line
Idly Dosa Corner is a South Indian restaurant in Al Qusais where breakfast is the clearest draw. Customers come for crisp masala dosas, soft idlis, vada, pongal and poori, with chutneys and sambar often praised for their fresh, homemade character. The Ghee Podi Mysore Masala Dosa is a particularly useful order if you like a crisp, spicy dosa with a generous ghee coating.
The menu also reaches well beyond vegetarian tiffin. Mutton biryani, chicken biryani, mutton or chicken dishes with soft parotta, and kothu parotta all receive enthusiastic mentions. One biryani review specifically notes tender meat, generous quantity, daalcha, raitha and a sweet.
Families have also described the service as welcoming, and filter coffee is recommended as a strong, aromatic finish. There is a real caution around consistency. While several long-term customers report authentic taste and affordable meals, other recent reviews mention declining food quality, rude service, hygiene concerns and incorrect delivery orders.
A bulk chicken biryani order reportedly included two or three parcels with very small chicken pieces, while a rava masala dosa order arrived plain and was charged again. For a first visit, breakfast or biryani may be more reliable starting points than the poorly reviewed veg soup.
