I went to this location (Richardson, @ intersection of Coit and Campbell) in Sep 06 and had the WORST experience ever at a restaurant in the DFW metroplex. when writing a review it is important to record the date of the review as it reflects the management and chefs for the restaurant at the time of the review and this can change fromtime to time. Starters was mirchi bajji which oozed oil. The dipping sauce had an unusually bland taste. The main course was spread out between thaalis and 'a la carte' entrees - The Mysore Masala Dosa was awful - this crepe from South India is a speciality dish with its taste and flavor derived from a careful process of fermentation that is almost a science in the cooking art. There have been doctoral thesises done on the fermentation of dosa batters to explore its nutrient and flavor qualities and find out what precise microbial action produces the idle dosa. In our case, the dosa we were served had no such enticing flavor to it nor taste. Mysore Masala Dosa is so called because the inner side of the dosa (ie the upper side) is coated with a masala paste and potato curry is used as a filling for the crepe. Our order had simple dry lentil powder sprinkled over the filling and the surface of the dosa as the masala with the dosa itself spread so thin as to crumble to pieces on trying to tear a piece to eat it. The dosa comes with a chutney and lentil soup or sambhar. The chutney once again was very insipid and appeared to be some day or days old - similar was the case with the sambhar. I had barely finished half the dosa when I started to feel 'different' in my stomach - I felt bloated and queasy soon after this. The thalis appeared to be prepared from refrigerated items that were simply heated up. The bread was like chips that one could break into pieces instead of being soft and chewy. Rice was undercooked and had no flavor. I returned home to a nauseous feeling. 2 yrs ago, this restaurant had somewhat better quality, but not anymore.
Pros: courteous service
Cons: terrible food
