Dosa is nice and good environment, amazing service
Fantastic experience at Once Upon a Dosa! I’ll break my review down into a few simple categories.
Food: very very tasty chicken keema dosa! Chai was also very nice and piping hot as it should be on a chilly day.
Service: top notch service. Friend ordered the OG roast Dosa and didn’t realize it came with no potatoes. Upon simple explanation, and at no extra charge, they gave us a serving of potatoes for his dosa to upgrade it since we had a misunderstanding.

Have been ordering takeout from Once Upon a Dosa for ages (their packaging is seriously incredible and keeps everything perfect!), but finally decided to drop in and eat in person. Had a simple, great experience! It was completely empty when we went, so the food came out super fast. Hot, crisp, and delicious as usual. Highly recommend whether you're getting delivery or stopping by!

Once Upon a Dosa is a catering service specializing in South Indian vegetarian cuisine. They are known for their delicious dosas, which were a hit at private events. The dosa station, in particular, received much appreciation. Guests enjoyed a variety of appetizers, including tasty idli, vada, and creative options like doffles and fried podi idli. The menu also features vegan dosa, masala cheese dosa, and a range of traditional dishes that are well-spiced and flavorful. The sambhar, rasam, and coconut chutney are consistently delicious, with some reviews praising the ghee podi idli and cheese dosa as especially incredible. The food is served fresh, crispy-edged, and in generous portions, with takeout packaging that keeps items intact. The cooks are praised for their politeness, flexibility, and efficient coordination. The service is transparent and smooth, able to accommodate last-minute requests, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The dishes taste authentic and remind many of home-cooked South Indian meals, making it a popular spot for a flavorful dosa fix at a reasonable price in the SF area. Overall, Once Upon a Dosa is highly recommended for its tasty dishes, excellent service, and warm atmosphere.
