Quick info
About Crispy Dosa Wood Green
Crispy Dosa Wood Green is a South Indian vegetarian restaurant on High Rd, serving the pure vegetarian menu the chain has built since 2000. Dosas come as signature and masala versions, with coconut, tomato and coriander chutneys alongside, and the masala potato filling is a recurring highlight. The kitchen also runs South Indian thalis, including a madras thali, and North Indian dishes such as dahi puri and veg Kolhapuri sit on the same menu. Weekday deals bring mini tiffin and combo options and thalis at set prices. Staff bring orders to the table rather than counter service, and seating is walk-in. Beyond the food menu, the drinks list includes a Paan mojito and a mango falooda. The restaurant operates as part of a small chain, with other branches in Greenford, Reading, Watford and Hounslow.

Customer Review Summary
Dosas anchor the praise, especially the masala dosa, where reviewers single out the crisp finish and the tasty masala potato filling. Close behind are the accompaniments, with a triple chutney selection and spicy sides described as distinctive without being overwhelming. Others name crispy paneer, pav bhaji, dahi puri, a veg Kolhapuri made extra spicy on request, mango falooda, a Paan mojito and masala chai. Several call the food authentic South Indian and good value, and staff are described as friendly, polite and helpful. Ambience draws mixed comments, one reviewer calling it a bit fast food and another just okay. Service is the recurring weak point. One reviewer describes slow food and a disorganized room when a large group was seated, with other tables feeling ignored, and another waited a long time for the bill during a busy lunch. One diner who ordered madras thali reports the sambar had gone off and the rice was sticky and smelly, so nothing was eaten. That same lunchtime diner felt cheated after receiving short change without an apology.

“Very disappointing experience at Crispy Dosa Wood Green. If you can’t properly handle a large group while still providing good service to other customers, then you shouldn’t continue seating more people. The food took far too long, the service was disorganized, and it felt like customers outside the large group were completely ignored. It’s better to manage your capacity than to let everyone’s dining experience suffer.”

“Hi Team, I just had 2 madras thali, sambar was gone off and rice was almost in going stage and also it was very sticky and smelly. We didn’t eat anything because of the bad smell”

“I get in for a quick lunch. The menu is very rich and interesting, I ordered a masala Dosa...it was sooo good! But the service has been terrible. I understand one person for that amount of customers plus delivery is not easy (and they should hire an extra person) but I cannot wait 20 min for my bill. I paid with 10£ cash my 8.5£ bill ...I got just 1 £ as change.. It s not a problem the 50p and I can understand of u don't have enough change in the till but at least apologize and let me know...like this I feel cheated”

“The food was delicious. The dosas were indeed crisp and the masala potato filling was particularly tasty. All the accompaniments were delicious and suitably distinctive and spicy without being overwhelming. Service was quick and the staff were friendly and helpful. The ambience was a bit "fast food" but that didn't detract at all from the pleasure of eating there. It was also great value for money. We will go again.”
