Dosa N Chutny (Tooting)

• With this mantra on my lips and a spring in my step I was soon on my southbound way back to the curry capital of Europe
• Tom did not benefit from this act of kindness and was forced to stump up his share
• Dosa n Chutney's orange framed exterior was reflected internally by the mirrored walls
• LED lighting and garish furniture is seemingly the order of the day south of the Broadway crossroads and DnC didn't disappoint
• Adding to the colour was the presence of a TV transmitting infectious Bollywood cheer and
• Convenience is also on the menu
• These were probably the best poppadoms we've sampled so far
• You should have seen the look of horror on Mr Scrimgour's face when they said they had no mango chutney it was like he'd just been told Middlesbrough Supporters South had folded
• Led us to assume this was the famous 'n' chutney the restaurant was named after
• The peshwari was not quite as sweet as at other locations
• What it lacked was made up by the kothu and biryani
• They were an improvement on Apollo Banana Leaf's efforts which were dry in comparison
• These were great sides and were washed lovingly down by the thick and creamy lassi
• The Chettinadu Fish Curry (a house special) was a sublime blend of flavours that was complimentary to the lamb
• The tender tandoori chicken was not as impressive as the other two dishes
• We were also so impressed with the food and feeling strangely flush that we ended up giving an additional £
• Never let it be said that the TCB are not generous not only are we providing top notch journalism for free
• The evidence is clearly captured here
• En brow (although it is unclear whether this was induced by the curry or impending homelessness)
• You spoil me with the choices of food and restaurants whenever I come to visit you
• My new favorite join is Dosa n Chutny
• My appetite for dose is quite big and the one they serve is quite tasty
• The sambhar is authentic and very well made
• Based on a daytime reccy this is true in the sense that there's enough pound shops fit for a (benefits) queen and on average 2 3 fried chicken shops within arm's length (see also
• ) But wait until nighttime and the place comes alive with shabby chic gastropubs
• Cosy cocktail bars and some of the best Indian restaurants in London
• Dosa N Chutny is the South Indian equivalent of a greasy spoon caff
• Not that that should matter with food as good as this
• The chilli paneer could be one of the best Indian dishes ever to pass through me (sorry
• We went for the one with the nicest sounding name
• The Mysore masala was a good place to start for us dosa virgins
• Lentil pancake was beautifully crispy
• ) There's a meal to be served with a few dips and 'oh here look this'll do
• The Ghosht saagwala was a cut above your average Brick Lane slop
• Less impressive was the Chettinadu fish curry it's a shame given its traditional South Indian credentials that the kitchen didn't do it justice
• You couldn't knock mopping the tangy sauce up with bits of peshwari naan though
• We started with a mysore masala dosa
• A dosa filled with sweet potato and onions
• I think the 'mysore' part of it was supposed to make it spicy
• There was hardly any heat which was absolutely fine considering the rest of our meal was had enough spiciness
• The dosa might have suffered slightly from being tightly wrapped in foil as it lost it's crispness and was instead a little chewy
• All the accompanying chutneys were wonderfully flavoursome
• We shouldn't have bothered they were a little too carcinogenic for my liking and rather tough
• Slightly sweet gravy with decent pieces of lamb throughout
• Were extremely favoursome and clearly prepared to order with fresh spices
• Recommended if you are a curry hound
• Tandoori meats are usually £
• 7 and the dosa's are the real star of the show
• I actually often go for the thick dosa with condiments
• One thing I don't like is the vegetable curry though
• Dosa B Chuny is a little gem in the Tooting area
• Sharvana bhavan is good when compared to this one
• Our latest venue is Dosa N Chutney
• It does an impressive job deceiving you otherwise with it's mirrored walls effectively giving the illusion of an infinite curry palace
• The rest of the decor is relatively basic but the lively hum from the other restaurant go ers gives a pleasant atmosphere
• Now chief popadom assessor duly approved even suggesting these were the best 'doms yet
• Mango chutney was not provided but rather some nicely spicy chutney alternatives
• These beasts are giant crispy Indian pancakes with a myriad of fillings
• The CURRYBONDers make the most of what's on offer with a host of dosas to start
• Unfortunately our efforts to fairly assess each and every curry restaurant with reference dishes of Onion Bhaji and Chicken Tikka Masala meets its first issue
• In this menu is called gravy
• With so many CURRYBONDers this was a superb opportunity to sample this selection
• My veggie Aloo Gobi is fragrant and warming
• The Chettinadu is a thinner sauce but fiery and meaty with hunky lamb on the bone and the Kothu looks terrifying
• It has a common characteristic with all of its curry buddies
• The level of heat is variable but this is curry for grown ups
• The accompaniments are good but don't necessarily meet the heights of the curry
• Overall this is the best curry of CURRYBOND to date
• It is duly rewarded with a food score of 8.8/10
• The portions were good the leftovers are inevitable the bill comes to £
• With this many CURRYBONDers the inevitable latecomers make their appearance once the beads of sweat are already trickling and belts have been loosened
• Thinking that it was perhaps a one time thing we visited the place again
• The waiters were SUPER rude
• Not to our surprise it was a wrong bill with a beer added which we never ordered
• The owner is a nice man but he is never around
• He should know his staff is running the place to the ground
