Cafe Spice Dosateria

I’m Indian and the food is pretty good with the limited options in the area. The only issue I have is the staff closes well before 8 PM. Once I was declined service and the next time no one was even here.

Disappointing and unacceptable for dosas
If only wrote this review a few months back when the first opened up they would have had 4 stars, at that time, they really nailed the flavor and service on dosas.
But the last two times we have gotten their dosas either they made them wrong, didn’t have all the ingredients to make them, or didn’t remember to omit items as needed. Which is pretty sad since they write it all down to start with!
What we loved at one point were the chili chicken koftas in the Bollywood Dosa, however, not only were the koftas bland this time, they were UNDERCOOKED!!! Unacceptable.
On a previous visit, I got the classic masala dosa with the potato filling. The filling was way too spicy, with at least a dozen whole dried red chili pods… even my other family members who regularly enjoy very spicy foods couldn’t eat it. Obviously the people making the dishes never both to try them.
I can make better dosas at home, which is what I will continue doing here on out.
The Tribeca location is way better (perhaps helps that most of the people that work that location are actually Indian!)

Omg !!! What a joke. The food is really really really really bad. Here’s what we ordered
Sugarcane Juice — no flavor, I mean how do you kill the flavor in natural sugarcane juice?
Bollywood Dosa — the dosa was slightly burnt, the mix used was stale, the chicken was so bland that the sugarcane juice was spicier ;-)
Biriyani bowl — should be called Cardamom bowl as that was the only flavor.
Can’t decide which was worse, only since the name is «Dosateria», its the Dosa !!!
Seriously though, the food is really bad. The service is pretty standard wholefoods friendly, but this attempt at Indian food is a joke !!!
Wake up Whole foods !! This is not «bad indian food», it’s just bad food.
