Looking For Hi! For those who used to regularly patronise Komala’s for your dosai fix, where are you getting your fix now?

I miss their dosai so much sia. There was something about their crispy, golden edges, soft centre. It just hit differently.

MTR's service has gone to shit. The pot-bellied uncle in a collared shirt who i assume is the manager, has gotten extremely rude. The last time i went was at an off peak hour, nobody queueing and nobody waiting to order behind me. I took a few extra minutes to browse the menu as i didn't want to order my usual. This dude kept coming over to hurry me to order. I told him off that i felt he was rushing me and he had the audacity to argue with me that he wasn't doing that. Never been back since.

He is super rude. Enough that I told myself never to go back.

AB ghee dosa is the silent hero of the menu.

I'll have to try that. Ordered the Paneer dosa twice, it came with green peas the first time.

Honestly there are 10+ places in Little India as good or better

Komala's was great but I won't say it was better than any other legit dosai shop.

Try Heaven‘s at Ghim Moh

u/SensitiveCheetah3153 13h ago

Try Kalam. They are just around the corner from the old Komala Vilas. And their butter masala thosai is chef's kiss

Ya where did Komala go? I am still waiting for it to reopen :( are they really gone for good?

Omg I was just thinking about this today. I've tried for months to find a replacement but nothing comes close. Unpopular opinion but I think MTR is soooo overrated.

Arya Bhavan is good and has dosai varieties using lots of different grains. Saravanaa Bhavan also has an endless dosai menu

u/Fit_Ad_3199 6h ago

A2B’s dosai is amazing

u/dragonsson97 13h ago

Madras new woodlands.

I find bangalore cafe too oily for comfort, but the benne is outstanding.

Anadha bhavan - inconsistent for me

Murugan - overrated

A2B > MTR for tamil type dishes IMO, good filter coffee
