Dosa World

Dosa World is a popular South Indian vegetarian restaurant on Whitechapel Road, a welcome specialist in the fermented rice and lentil crepes of Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka that are all too rare in the curry-house dominated landscape of E1. A popular destination for the local South Indian and Sri Lankan community as well as food lovers seeking an alternative to the standard Bangladeshi curry house menu, Dosa World serves some of the most authentic South Indian vegetarian food available in East London.

The menu centres on dosas in their many forms: the classic masala dosa (a crispy fermented crepe filled with spiced potato), the paper dosa (enormous and paper-thin), the uttapam (thick, fluffy rice pancake with toppings), idli (steamed rice cakes), medu vada (crispy lentil doughnuts) and a range of chutneys and sambar. All food is vegetarian and most dishes are vegan-friendly. A good-value and genuinely distinctive restaurant. Open daily for lunch and dinner, with delivery available via JustEat and other platforms.
