Ostrasized from the main flock down a side-street, avoiding the majority of tourist dollars, means this place has to deliver to keep the locals happy. The two times i've been in, they've always been packed so something must be right. To be fair most people have been eating dishes other than dosa's, so my judgement of the entire place doesn't rest on one dish. However, this is a dosa competition and theirs was smack bang in the middle. 

A good dosa but too greasy, reminding me of more Karnataka style than Tamil Nadu. A solid sambar, and chutneys but lacking the wow factor.

I told my local shopkeeper I'd been to Veloo Villas and it wasn't as good as I expected. He chuckled and reported proudly "It used to be best dosa in town, but new owner and cook, not same". 

That makes perfect sense, the dosa was decent, but not close to being amazing. Sure the price is unbeatable and the service is friendly but better dosa's are to be found barely 100 meters away.

So highly recommended by the owner of Hyderabad Birjani House (amazing spot), I simply had to check it out. It took 3 attempts to actually get there, 2 of them destroyed by timing or incessant loud construction from the back of the kitchen. 

Dosa-wise, everything was generally good but there was this bizarre sweet-taste to the actual dosa. Perhaps it was the oil or ghee they cooked it in, but it left a lingering unease. 

Too many times to count have I been told by locals about amazing places to eat, only to find them to be suffering from rabies of the tastebuds. Today was one of those days. 4 seperate people said "Chat Masala does best Masala Dosa", well, thats probably like stopping at a corner in D.C. and having 10 people tell you to go to Taco Bell or KFC. The dosa was far from terrible, but it was unfathomably uninspired.

​Whoever recommended it deserves a tight slap. All four of them.

The jury's out on this place. Regarded highly by all the locals I talked to, I went and was rather underwhelmed.

Yes they are super busy until closing, with a line of people waiting for take-away also, however I found everything was alright but nothing was exceptional.

The dim sum was all a bit on the gloopy side, and not really that flavoursome. Nothing memorable, but I guess an ok place to quell your cravings.
