Being married to a stunning woman of Indian heritage, everyone assumes we eat Indian food every day and I love it. The truth is we don't, and I don't. Dosa is a different kind of Indian restaurant though, with mostly mild yet interesting flavors, and nothing approaching a Vindaloo (thank heavens).
There are a couple of Dosa locations in San Francisco. This one is directly opposite the entrance to The Kabuki movie theater in Japantown, which means that every other time we've attempted to get in after exiting the theater, we've been met with a line as long as The Ganges.
This time however, Lawrence and I were there on the Monday right after Thanksgiving, so everyone else was tucked up at home with their families. Accordingly, we strolled into a virtually deserted Dosa around 10.15pm, had the requisite "mild yet interesting curry-type dishes", and were out again 30 minutes later.
Not much atmosphere. Not worth a long trip across town for the experience (we were already there, as I said, so no problem there).
There was a gorgeous 4' x 3' photo on one wall (see picture here), with an Indian woman prostrate on the ground (a vision I've yet to see in real life). All very tasteful, mind you. Of course, I forgot to ask our excellent waiter her name or the name of the picture, so I'm now surfing around Getty Images looking for that picture.
