Half-Decent OK Jul 14, 2020

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.

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.

Archetypal South Indian OK Jul 14, 2020

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.

Solid, Solid Indian Food Smile Jul 14, 2020

Usually my first stop on any trip to Penang, this Georgetown royalty serves excellent banana leaf's to hallways jammed with smiles. If you're in the mood for something else they do a great masala dosa, but it's not the best in town. 

Super cheap, super delicious and always packed with revellers, this is a MUST SEE spot in Penang.

Middle of the Road OK Jul 14, 2020

This place is one in a long list of spots for Indian food in Penang.

They have their good sides, but I was here for a dosa and that did disappoint. There are FAR better places down the road to get your fill for the same price. However, I heard on good authority that their Thali's are solid, so next time i'm around i'll go for one.
