Madras Dosa House (南印及斯里蘭卡風味餐館)

Madras Dosa House是一家主打南印度及斯里蘭卡傳統風味美食的餐館,於2009年起已在現址開業經營至今。老闆Thevarajan Nadarajah (可以簡單稱呼他Theva) 原籍及出生於斯里蘭卡。斯里蘭卡Sri Lanka,1972年之前稱錫蘭 (Ceylon) ,是位於亞洲南部印度次大陸東南方外海的島國,古代中國曾經稱其為獅子國。Theva在1987年移民到加拿大多倫多後持續20年為該地的Greek and Italian kitchens工作,其後帶同家人來到溫哥華自立門戶,開設了Madras Dosa House做起老闆。餐廳工作主要由夫婦兩人運作,太太Loca專責廚房烹煮,而他們現年18歲的女兒Theruga會在學校課餘時間前來幫忙,兩個兒子Vithursan (20歲)和Kesor (12歲) 間中也會參與餐館工作。

店家的招牌菜Dosa,是一種近似可麗餅crepe和pancake的傳統印度及斯里蘭卡美食。Dosa在斯里蘭卡已盛行超過兩個世紀,其後才傳入南印度成為家喻戶曉的桌上美食。Dosa的正確讀音是dosay 或dosai,是用磨碎的豆和米漿發酵後煎成的大型捲餅,餡料通常會加入不同的咖喱食材,有葷有素,千變萬化。當地人會把Dosa當作早餐、晚餐或小吃,是一種非常平民化的傳統美食。

Onion Chilli Uttappam $6.99 ~ 這鷹嘴豆粉煎餅上面放了洋蔥粒和莞茜,餅身軟綿綿的,口感有點近似廣東的薄撑 (3/5分)

Idly $4.49 ~ 這印度白米糕是用發酵過的白米麵糊蒸製而成,本身沒有味道,是微微酸的,需要蘸醬一起吃,它不像麵包那樣有嚼勁,咬一口就鬆開了。隨餐附上兩款蘸醬和一份熱的sambar辣湯,白色的是椰蓉而橙紅色的是紅蘿蔔蓉 (3/5分)

店家的招牌菜Dosa共要了兩款,一款是Chicken Masala Dosa $9.99 (3.5/5分),另一款是Lamb Vindaloo Dosa $10.99 (4/5分)。我比較喜歡後者的羊肉薯仔餡,而前者香料雞的肉質較為乾和粗糙,沒有羊肉好吃。隨餐附上兩款蘸醬和一份熱的sambar辣湯,白色的是椰蓉而橙紅色的是紅蘿蔔蓉,冰冰涼涼的很好吃

Veggie Kottu Paratha $9.99 (3/5分) ~ 這是斯里蘭卡的國菜,paratha的意思是指印度拋餅roti,而Kottu Paratha合起來就解作切碎的印度拋餅。廚師先將拋餅roti切碎,然後加入雞蛋、洋蔥、胡荽葉、薑黃、辣椒粉等材料放在鐵板上兜炒,再放調味品及肉類,我要的是素食,所以沒有加肉進去。

Best dosas in town. When this place is closed and I have to go elsewhere for my dosa fix, it just isn't as good.
Small quiet room, usually empty which means service is usually prompt. Value for money is unrivalled, a huge dosa with two chutneys and lentil soup is $10, nice cold drinkable white wine is $5 per glass. The chicken vindaloo dosa is my personal favourite, flavourful and spicy.

I LOVE this place. It's a family-owned, hidden gem in the Fraserview neighbourhood, with great food and fantastic service. You never have to wait very long for the food and are always greeted with a smile. 

Favourites here are the chicken palak dosa, chicken 65 and veggie pakoras (so delicious and different than other pakoras I've had). Great value. I can't say enough good things about this place!

When we walked into the place, it looked very spacious and recently renovated, not to mention tons of seating area. So, group get-togethers will not be a problem.

For appetizers we ordered three dahi vadas (one for each of us). It was very fresh and the portions were appropriate. At first we thought the yogurt was too sweet, but it turned out to be a sweet red chutney sauce. If anyone orders this dish, I'm giving you all a head's up: it's the red chutney that is sweet - mixing it with the yogurt and dahi vada pieces is the key to enjoying this delightful favourite.

It took about 25 minutes for our dinner to arrive. That wasn't so bad.

We ordered Spring Masala Dosa, Masala Dosa, and prawn biryani. All three dishes were excellently prepared. The dosa crepe was perfect and lengthy, and I have to say I really enjoyed eating it.

The Spring Masala Dosa was spicy because I asked to make it hot. The potatoes were mashed up beautifully; however, they put lots of sliced onions. So for those who don't like too much onions in their dosa, this might not be to your liking.

The Masala Dosa was spiced mildly and decent. The filling was steaming hot, most importantly - a clear indication of freshness!

Lastly, the prawn biryani was very tasty. It was not unbearably spicy. It came garnished South-Indian style with a boiled egg. The best part is that there was a generous amount of prawns.

Naturally, we enjoyed our dinner at Madras Dosa House. I will be coming back here again and I recommend this place for a low-budget, exotic dinner.

Pretty nondescript location on Fraser and 41st. The dosa is pretty good, and tastes kind of like a giant samosa...with a crepe wrapping and yummy dipping sauce. But my favourite thing was still butter chicken, theirs is very heavy on some kind of spice I can't name, and it makes it delicious. Portion of basmati rice it comes with is massive too, never get this much anywhere else!

Decent South Indian food, excellent service, and very reasonable prices. What's not to like about Madras Dosa House? I only wish the interior and the music were more South Indian in nature.

They say your first time is always the most special. Coming from Saskatchewan, I was a Dosa virgin. I got to say that was thoroughly impressed with the veggie dosa house platter. The dosa was cooked perfectly and delicious when dipped into the sambar and chutney. I was not a fan of the gooy coconut sauce so I ignored it overall, I would go back again!

This place has authentic South Indian food. Simple and delicious. Reminds me of restaurants in India. Wished I'd known about this place earlier.

Best South Indian Food. Had an amazing experience. The food is authentic, non - greasy and tasty. Some items especially the vindaloo stuffing is hot but has a kick to it. Loved the experience. Family owned with extremely courteous service. I would say the best South Indian meal I have tasted around Vancouver. Only setback - debit or cash accepted, no credit cards.
