Mint Dosa - a South Indian restaurant in Southampton. 99% of the clientele was Indian this morning and it was pretty packed. The ‘live dosa’ involves the enthusiastic Indian clientele haranguing the single harried-looking server/manager for dosas, which eventually get delivered to your table after being cooked fresh in the kitchen.
Round 1: Pongal, Upma, Idli, Sambar, coconut chutney, red chutney
Round 2: Mini vadai, Upma
Round 3: A live Dosa! Husband had masala dosa on this round.
Round 4: More live Dosa - fresh and crispy.
The place was absolutely hopping. There was a table of very friendly young Indian men watching the India versus New Zealand cricket match on a phone and my son stopped at their table every time he went to the buffet and exchanged some chat about the score etc. My son made around 7 trips to the buffet table to reload his plate - also consuming 5 live dosas. The buffet is £10 a head, really good value.
