We book-ended our Japan trip with brief stays in San Francisco. One of the restaurants we really enjoyed there was Dosa on Fillmore. Located near Japan Town, this South Indian restaurant offers absolutely delicious food and creative cocktails. Sometimes chefs overdo the spicing in Indian food; that is not the case here.The flavors were fresh, vibrant and clean.
The setting is elegant and the wine pairings were stellar. Our only quibble was that our server became quite flustered as the pace picked up later in the evening. This time the food was good enough that were willing to overlook this glitch. That should tell just how good the food really was.
The mango prawn curry and the Tamil Lamb curry were amoung our favorites. The chutneys-coconut,tomato and cilantro-mint- were outstanding.
The desert- a fresh coconut custard cake infused with curry leaves- disappeared in a nano-second.
If you find yourself in San Francisco and want some very fine South Indian food, Dosa or Dosa on Fillmore, will leave you satisfied and happy.
