      Dosa combo was really worth the price
      Idli was super soft & it's the best Idli i ever had in the Bay Area.

      Dosai Xpress Sri Annapoorna opened in Peri Peri Grill House's vacated space. Interior similar + more decor.

      Offerings(South Indian Vegeterian): special dosai, rava dosai, uthappam, rice combos, drinks, rice varieties, tiffin combos, starter-appetizers, soups, salads.

      Greeted after entering. Ordered at front counter, paid, assigned a table. Got food 5ish minutes later.

      Eats: Fremont Restaurant Week special: Dosa combo with idly, vada, sweet dessert, chai (9.99)
      -only spoon given. Most Indian food eaten with hands.
      -idly is the spongy round white rice cake, vada is the lightly fried brown donut shape cake. Dosa is a large thin savory crepe made from rice & white gram.
      -chai was tasty as usual. Sweet dessert was rava, made from wheat. Not overly sweet....
      -dipping sauces-3 chutneys, one sambar.
      -food was freshly made or made recently. Yummy indeed. Ate it either by spooning sauces onto breads or breaking same and dipping into chutneys, sambar.
      *combo specially for restaurant week. Menu has similar combos with breads, dosas....

      This place has by far, the best dosa in Fremont and surrounding areas. The dosas here are crisp, the right level of spice and the fillings are adequate. A key component of dosa is the quality and taste of chutney and this place delivers. Highly recommend coming here if you like dosas. The rasam Vada was quite delicious as well.

      The ambiance is reminiscent of older 'cafes' in south India, but could do with some cohesion. The service is good and fast. Definitely stop by for your daily dosa of good food :)

      I purchased the idli and dosai batter from them to experiment with at home this week. The idlis turned out well, incredibly soft and fluffy. Their batter surpasses the quality of those available at grocery stores and other places. Additionally, the prices for the batters are quite reasonable.

      Glad that this place is still consistent in terms of quality of food.

      Always wanted to try this place in town and finally tried it. The food was okay. The one thing that I loved here was the onion rava dosa. The methu vada and masala dosa were okay. I wasn't a fan of the sambhar either. It was steamed lentils with not much flavor. The potato flavor didn't have much flavor. It was just steamed potato in salt and turmeric. The staff here was really nice and hence me giving this place a 3 star. If you're looking for simple flavors, then this place is for you.

      Great tasting authentic dosas! One star less as the place smells too bad. Possibly drainage issues.
      Try thokku dosas, so different from usual.

      Hole in the wall restaurant, with plenty of seating space indoors. The food is delicious and fresh! We tried idli, vada, utthapam, and podi idli (see below). They serve food in utensils unlike many competitors in the area that serve in plastic wasteful containers, so big kudos to them for being mindful.

      I would say the following:
      1. Food is quite expensive - it is easily a minimum of $15 per person for a full tummy. We spent ~$42 on 3 dishes.
      2. The podi idli could've been better. The idli was fried in ghee and podi and all I could taste was ghee. As a recommendation, the ghee and podi could be given on the side and fried could be an option.

      Highly recommend Dosa Express for fresh, south Indian food!

      Onion rava Masala Dosa #34d: yummy. Would be awesome for dune in than togo.
      They should learn from ID Express restaurant on how they pack

      Butter cone dosa: my daughter loved it
      Idli was soft and really yummy
      Vada was so so.
      Pongal was good, but lots of ghee.

      Green cilantro and coconut chutneys were awesome. Sambar was good.
      Fast service.
