Review from Roma M.

I came to Dosa Palace on the advice of yelpers, but I wasn't blown away like others with the Masala Dosa offering. Though Dosa Palace is not bad, there are about 50 of these types of restaurants in Scarborough. Maybe Mississauga just needs more options where Sri Lankan food is concerned.
The dosa itself was well made, crispy and just slightly greasy like I like 'em. The rasam was lukewarm, not hot and the chutney and masala was extremely, unbearably spicy.
The restaurant itself is in a seedy part of Mississauga and service is a little off through staff is generally pleasant; you might have to repeat requests once or twice.Listed in: My 30-Day Yelp-athon

The food here is no joke. Like possibly the best biryani I have ever had. It sets your mouth on fire though, watch out. The dosa is, of course, supercalifragilistiliious.
It's a tiny restaurant, with really amazing prices for the amount of food you are served. I think they do more take out than dine in, but their dine in service is good for a place with no dedicated servers. They're also open pretty late, which is nice in the suburbs.
The restaurant is sort of cafeteria styled, with the curries sitting out in front of you to look at (and drool over) before you decide which ones you want. It's very veg friendly too. It's situated in a sketchy little plaza but don't let that turn you off! Come eat the greatest, fluffiest, longest and best dosa of your life. -

It's a rainy, cold night here in Mississauga. We just moved from central Toronto,west, to Old Port Credit area. We wanted curry. I grabbed my iPad and Yelped for help and up came this place. We got into the car,hungry after having spent the day digging out overgrown shrubs and tearing apart our basement.
We drove past it. Did a circle around and came back to Dundas and there it was. We pulled in. It's a wee hole in the wall place. Take out and eat in; are 8 tables in total, 6 of which seat 8.
I wanted a Dosa. Only once had I ever sampled one. My fiancé decided to try one too. We made our choices and sat down to wait. Then out they came. And oh my were they good. I am still basking in their goodness.
This restaurant has a good menu, is not over-priced and has friendly and helpful staff.
We are going back! -
Review from Janelle W.
I'd been struggling for weeks to find the right words to describe just how phenomenal New Kaveri is. I was mulling over my review like it's apple cider, trying not to type in all caps or use a string of exclamation points a kilometer long. I was trying not to say something as amateur as "best meal ever" or "OMG OMG OMG".
Then I realized: a good dosa is worth a thousand words.
It doesn't matter what I write. My words are meaningless and only trivialize the experience. This is food that you *must* experience for yourself. And once you do, you too will realize that no amount of my chirping about the textures, flavors, colors, and aromas could ever do it justice.
New Kaveri is a hole-in-the-wall South Indian and Sri Lankan restaurant/take-out run by Sri Lankans. I have long extolled the virtues of South Indian food. But Lankans can cook like Barack Obama can draw a crowd. Thereby, New Kaveri elevates South Indian food to a level that's simply unmatched this side of the globe.
// Dosa //
The oversized paper-thin rice flour crepe is creased and rolled with the dexterity of origami-folding hands. A gentle tap breaks off a brittle, lacy piece--crisp on the griddle-facing side, soft and fluffy on the opposite face. The smooth batter has a slightly bitter bite. The dosa are served like crown jewels atop a traditional thali compartmentalized metal tray. Poured in the compartments are a silky ginger chutney, an intense mint chutney, and the only sambar I've ever loved--thick, rich, and full of succulent stewed vegetables.
// Biryani //
A mound of spicy, intensely-seasoned rice is packed into a bowl then overturned onto the serving tray, much like the process of forming a sandcastle. Tender grains of perfectly-cooked rice are held together by a web of springy scrambled eggs, chopped onions, bright green cilantro, and savory shreds of chicken. Liberal measures of fiery orange and red spices provide brilliant colors and pungent flavors. The accompanying raita is dense and creamy, filled with firm cubes of ripe tomato and onion.
I can't imagine dosa and biryani can get much better than this. Not even sex is this good.
New Kaveri is a prodigious, almost metaphysical, gastronomic experience. It will leave you flush and overcome with Desi cravings. It will leave you so stunned and enamored that you'll have glitter exploding out of your ears. It will leave you at a loss for words... but you can let the dosa do all the talking. -

Delicious x 25, both meat and vegetarian friendly. HOT. Great value.
This was an awesome find, a combination of South Indian and Srilankan food.. The exterior is completely overlookable, as the unassuming storefront in a rundown strip mall is dwarfed by its neighboring BURRITO BOYZ with its gaudy and "hip" awning. Once inside Dosa Corner, your nose is already telling you this is the mother-load.
Convinced my dad to join me here, and we ordered a plate of chicken curry and the vegetable biriyani. Both were stellar. The chicken curry is made in a fiery red gravy reinforced with fennel (a black licorice essence) and some kind of red-black-marbled peppercorn. Delectable! It's served up with a pile of basmati, and four small sides (ours included curried eggplant, spiced potato cubes, a yellow lentil dal, and a lemony sweet-sour vegetable that I couldn't identify, regrettably. All the sides were terrific.
The vegetable biriyani was a really strange call for me as I've disliked the dish at two other restaurants in the past, but, as though speaking in tongues, the order just belched out of my mouth, and it could only be fate that resulted in another mouth-watering success. This fried rice dish was impeccable. Packed with veggies, subtle spices, and a great amount of body-warming peppery heat... the mouth was stinging gently and the nasal cavities were losing all control. Loved it.
The only catch to this unconditionally super meal (and at a very reasonable price) was that they were exploding with business (80% of it take out orders) and there was only ONE person manning the register, the phone, serving the food in to-go bags, bringing food to the tables, and cleaning the tables. The impossible was being asked of this one person, yet she kept things going as best she could. The result was chaos in front of the register, the ability to maintain a single-file line had long since broken down, people were swarming the counter with requests, demands, complaints (about the speed of service), and unneeded jokes, and it took me almost 20 minutes of standing after the meal to pay. They need to fix this (ie. hire another front worker), still, I'd go back in a heartbeat. -

The Dolsa was HUGE and good, but the best part was the Masala Chai! It's in such a small cup but its so flavorful.
