After hunting high and low across Manchester in search of the best dosa, we can finally say - we’ve found it!!!!
Tucked away in Sale, The Dosa Kings is the real deal. No frills, no fuss - just pure flavour, crispy perfection, and that unmistakable South Indian soul in every bite.
For anyone unfamiliar, a dosa is a thin, crispy crepe made from fermented rice and lentil batter - golden on the outside, soft in the middle, and usually filled with spiced potatoes, onions, or other delicious fillings. It’s a South Indian staple - and when done right, it’s something truly special.
And these dosas? They took us straight back to India. From the first bite, it was pure nostalgia. The ghee roast dosa was absolute heaven - golden, rich with ghee, and perfectly crisp around the edges. The onion masala rava dosa was just as impressive, with bold flavours and a beautiful texture.
We didn’t stop there. The chilli paneer was spicy, tangy and impossible to put down. The chicken chukka was deep, rich and packed with flavour. We also had the idli vada combo - soft, fluffy idli and crunchy vada with all the classic chutneys and sambar. And to round it off, light but creamy mango lassi that was the perfect cool finish.
Now - full disclosure - the photos might not be as aesthetic as usual (we were too busy digging in), but I had to share this find with my fellow dosa lovers. Because this place is worth it.
Oh - and they do a weekend breakfast buffet, which we’re already planning to come to check out!!!
If you're a dosa fan (or about to become one), The Dosa Kings in Sale is your next stop. Authentic, flavourful, and full of heart- it’s easily one of the best South Indian meals we’ve had in Manchester, no wonder it was packed on weeknight!
