I live in Dallas, TX. Generally I love non-veg pickles, especially mutton/goat. My aunt visiting from LA bought mutton and chicken pickles from here and after tasting ‘em I have to say its the best taste with correct amount of spices and spiciness. Especially mutton pickle was my favourite. Its second day and the pickle jar is already half done. I highly recommend these pickles for others to try out. Will bring some stuff from here when I visit.

For years I thought no restaurant comes close to the quality and consistency (of GREAT food, each time) of Rajdhani. Until today.. Podi Dosa is AMAZING.. and is on the same level as Rajdhani for authenticity, taste and feel good energy (unfortunately, also the wait to be seated! Lol) The portions are massive.. so don’t make the mistake we did and order four entrees for two people.. The variety.. and selection.. NEXT LEVEL. From classic South Indian to a bit of North Indian twist.. to Indo-Chinese.. and an entire menu just for desserts too. No idea how they’re able to offer such a wide selection! The chana bhatura was OUTSTANDING. The best we’ve had in the states.. not even close. The bhatura was made the traditional way.. with cilantro and mehti kneaded into the flour.. perfectly crisped.. the chole or chana were so so tasty! So flavorful.. so rich.. and with sliced onions laden on top.. incredible!! Not the biggest fan of idli but found the idlis here really tasty! Love that they give you an entire tray of all the chutneys so you’re able to thoroughly enjoy the sambar (which is OUTSTANDING), dosas, idlies etc without worrying about conserving a tiny bit of chutney Btw the chai is soooo good!!! For how busy they are, the service is great. Really kind, patient staff Excited to be back.. many many times!!!

Authentic South Indian Flavors That Transport You to India! This South Indian restaurant is an absolute delight for anyone craving authentic flavors straight from India. Their idli, dosa, and vada varieties are nothing short of amazing—soft, crispy, and perfectly made. What sets this place apart is the variety of podis (spice powders) they offer as add-ons, which elevate every bite with an explosion of traditional flavors. The food tastes like it was made in a home kitchen in India, bringing a wave of nostalgia with every dish. The ambiance is simple and welcoming, and the service is friendly and efficient. Whether you’re a fan of classic masala dosa or adventurous with different podi combinations, this spot is a must-visit for South Indian food lovers. Highly recommended! Let me know if you’d like me to adjust the tone or content further!

Have visited Podi Dosa for dinner along with friends family while returning from Universal Studios. Booked for 8 people and waiting time was just 15 minutes. We ordered chicken kothu poratta, podi dosa, masala podi dosa, gee podi dosa and cheese onion dosa. Vera level dosas and traste. 1 order was great for 2 people and price is okay for two. Chicken kothu was also very good, we enjoyed our dinner. 5-6 varieties of chutneys served along with sambar. Great food, we liked it

I don’t know why some of the previous reviewers have had such bad experiences but we had a great one.

First and foremost, you came here for authentic Indian cuisine! This place is on a par all it’s on. The foods here are seasoned to perfection. There are great Indian restaurants here but this one is superb when it comes to taste. Please note that all foods here are authentic and cooked true to the last spice so don’t come here thinking you can change the heat like other places. This little tidbit is one of the things that makes it so amazing. It’s the unwillingness to compromise the true flavor of the dishes. Also I read a few negative reviews here which complains about time, well my friends this is not Indian fast food! Each dish is made fresh from start to finish which is why this place is always packed. Dosas take time! Perfection takes time 😝. Now the food. I didn’t order my typical smorgasbord of entrees this time. I only stuck to my favorites. Two orders of Amaravathi Gobi, fish 65 wet, wada, and bhatura. Amaravathi Gobi is one of the best things your taste buds could ever behold. The crispness and bursts of flavors are second to none. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this amazing dish!!! Then we have Fish 65 wet which is seasoned too perfection as well . Perfectly spicy and cooked with a level of juiciness that makes this fish dish one of the tastiest. Next we have the Wada and bhatura and they are both just extremely tasty. Both of these dishes elsewhere can seem a little on the boring side elsewhere, but not here! They are both bursting with flavor which almost make them seem like a different dish.

One of the best Indian restaurants in Artesia area. They serve large quantities for a very affordable price. Their service is quite good as well.
