About Dosa Mama
Dosa Mama serves Indian food on Quinton Rd in Coventry, with a menu built around dosa varieties including gun powder dosa, chilli cheese dosa, and paneer bhurji dosa, served with sambar and red chutney. On Saturdays and Sundays, a mega tiffin brings a large-portion take on the weekend breakfast spread, which otherwise includes puri, vada, idli, upma, and kesari bath. Veg and non-veg thalis round out the table, arriving with dal, sabji, pappadam, and raita, while filter coffee accompanies the dosa and idli. The kitchen also turns out biryani, parotta, channa batura, samosa chaat, and paani poori. Cards are accepted at the counter, though there is no dedicated parking, so customers park on the road outside.

Customer Review Summary
Dosa varieties draw the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly naming the gun powder dosa, chilli cheese dosa, and paneer bhurji dosa as standouts alongside plain dosa, idli, and filter coffee. Close behind, the sambar and red chutney get singled out as especially good, and diners also point to the mango lassi, chicken biriyani, and the weekend mega tiffin as reliably tasty and generously portioned. Service is called friendly and accommodating, with one reviewer noting staff catered to a no onion or garlic requirement. The recurring complaint centers on freshness in thali and breakfast orders: one regular describes receiving reheated pakoda, stale pappadam, and old dal, warning that lunch should be ordered after 1pm for fresh stock, while another found most of a weekend breakfast special, including puri, vada, idli, and upma, tasting off apart from the puri with saagu. A separate reviewer found the non-veg thali's chicken and mutton gravies oddly sweet with tough mutton.

“They sent previous day’s stale food as part of Veg thali. The sabji was already gone, pakoda was re-roasted and smelled once it cooled, pappadam was not fresh, nor was the daal. Nothing was fresh. And this is not the first time they did it. I was a regular customer so this was not expected at all. You just lost a customer! Never going to order anything again from this shop. One recommendation: if ordering lunch or biryani, order after 1pm in order to get fresh food, otherwise they will serve the old stock.”

“Despite having specific dietary requirements of not eating onions and/or garlic (religious beliefs), Dosa Mama catered for us. The food was amazing, the service was just as good and everything was very reasonably priced too. I would highly recommend!”

“We tried the weekend special breakfast (Puri, Vada, Idli, Upma, Kesari Bath,....) along with an extra plate of Puri with Saagu. Only the puri with saagu and the vada tasted fresh. The rest of the weekend special items did not feel fresh and were quite disappointing.”
