BARR - Dosa Place - Revisited

Our experience with Dosa place (we have gone there twice to Santa Clara) has been excellent to good. However, there is a very good reason for this post. There have been repeat comments about the hygiene standards (or lack thereof) from both the Fremont and the Santa Clara branches.

So, it is time to reset expectations based on these comments!

In sequence:

Mitr and K. went there and had a great meal (Santa Clara)

We went there and had a great experience too (Santa Clara)

Balaji went there and found Fly's in the Jamuns. They didn't say sorry and just shrugged and got back 3 more Jamuns (possibly from same batch) (Santa Clara)

Rajk goes there and finds that the service is bad (Fremont)

We went there again, saw that the service was okay (grumpy old men with an attitude, as opposed to chirpy college kids serving us) but the food was sitll tasty (no visible insects of any kind. The food was still Veg.)

Mitr and K. went there again and had a good meal but did not praise the service as excellent this time (Santa Clara)

Anon(would have been nice to have his/her name) goes and finds Roach in the Rasam (Fremont)

In my original review of the place, we did find the service to be excellent, as was the food and were actually hoping that it doesn't get to their head..

Looks like it has!

As for us, personally we have not had a bad experience and would not mind going to the Santa Clara branch again. If we do, will definitely give the owner our two cents!

We have been visiting Peacock recently (since it is across the corner from Dosa Place) and we like the food! Will write a BARR for it soon.

So, don't go to Dosa Place in Fremont expecting it to be as good as Santa Clara.. at least based on the comments here.

Don't expect service to be as good in the Santa Clara branch, as it was, when the restaurant opened!

Please feel free to share your experience in the comment box. We get a good idea of how things change, thanks to your comments.
