Chennai Masala Dosa

La hospitalidad del restaurante es extremadamente decepcionante. Como nativo del sur de la India, estaba muy emocionado de probar este lugar, pero, por desgracia, el único día que estoy en Barcelona no parece que este lugar merezca ser llamado "Restaurante indio" porque somos muy hospitalarios y este lugar no lo es. Por favor no entres si quieres unirte a un momento de gran disgusto.

La comida se sirvió fría. El sambar era normal, los chutneys eran insípidos. Y el servicio fue lento.

¡El mejor restaurante del sur de la India en Europa! Sabor auténtico. ¡Debes probar el pollo Chettinad!

Impresionante auténtico Chennai dosa en Barcelona, ​​personal y propietario muy amables. ¡Recomiendo encarecidamente pasar y probar por ti mismo!

Me encantaron las Dosas! Teníamos paneer masala dosa y Chennai Masala dosa.ambos eran muy buenos. También probamos podi idli que nos gustó porque era picante
Servicio muy agradable y amable.
Es el lugar al que ir para probar la auténtica comida del sur de la India en Barcelona

Muy buena y auténtica comida india! Tenga en cuenta el auténtico nivel de picante si no es de Asia.

Comida excepcional. Los dosa fueron increíbles, excepcionales. Sentí el verdadero sabor de la comida del sur de la India. El servicio fue excelente.

Excellent choices for south Indian cuisine. One of the very few restaurant that I can recommend for trying authentic Tamil Nadu cuisine.

Great, tasty and authentic food! The staff are also very helpful. Love their food every time I visit.

Excellent food quality and generous portions and very reasonably priced.
A must visit! Enjoyed our meal… had a variety of dishes and all were tasty.

Really good and authentic South Indian food. Dosas were exactly like how you get it back in india 5/5. Chicken 65 was ok. We also had filter coffee which was good but found it to be a bit expensive… 3€ is quite a bit we feel. Will be going back for sure.

La primera vez perdí un Chennai Masala Dosa y no pude disfrutar la experiencia, pensaba que todo era picante y ya, no disfruté la comida.

La segunda vez marcó una diferencia importante, el camarero antes de empezar a comer nos explicó como se debe comer el Chennai Masala Dosa y la experiencia fue totalmente diferente y muy grata.

Ahora cuando los compis del trabajo digan para ir al Hindú, no dudaré!

Cuina índia autèntica per fer capbussada a una altre cultura.
Personal dedicat que t'expliquen els plats amb amor i amb molta pedagogia perquè entenguis i puguis fer una bona elecció.
Una experiència per repetir i si ets de picant en tens per escollir.

Very Bad Behavior on the part of the manager, on a rainy day, our group of friends was visiting, half of us reached earlier and ordered for everybody being considerate of the kitchen closing timings, 20 mins later our second half group reached and they were not served their order which was placed by us 20 mins prior to their arrival and two dishes from that order were ready on the table of the first group that arrived, and still the manager had issues with us eating those 2 plates in order to not waste the food. The prices anyways are way higher for the quality of the food. Not even close to the REAL AUTHENTIC SOUTH INDIAN TASTE. The serving staff was friendly and excellent. But the manager needs a major upgrade to his social skills and attitude towards the customers. If there was an option to post with zero stars or give a negative rating (-5/10), I would chose that now.

Authentic South Indian food. Great taste and perfectly spiced food.
Kesari (Semolina based sweet) was a nice touch in desserts.

Had authentic south Indian food, very kind, good ambiance will recommend to you if you are craving for authentic south Indian food.

I was very happy to find a South Indian restaurant in Barcelona. There service and foods are excellent! Will definitely return back with my friends - thanks Mr.kumar (the owner) was very friendly enough to give me suggestions about Barcelona.

Comida del sur de la India auténtica. Una explosión de sabor y color. Un personal genial que te atiende con amabilidad para asegurarse de que lo que pidas sea de tu gusto. Al no conocer mucho la gastronomía me dejé aconsejar y acertaron de lleno. Un 10 sobre 10.

Excellent taste and hospitality. Reminds all Indian tradition. Thank you Chennai Masala Dosa team.

Owner of this place is pretty rude people, decent food but too overprice

Go at your own risk

It has been a while since we had a good Indian! We had the Chicken Thali and the lamb Dosa. Both really good and very reasonably priced too! Will come back!

Super tasty! Flavors of Tamil Nadu
Not the typical Indian restaurant you find in Barcelona, it is much more

Famous for being unprofessional and unethical. I have visited the restaurant many times before and the last time we had a really bad experience and were turned down food by the owner. Never going here again. Firstly, to be honest the food taste isn't that great. It's just that people like the idea of having South Indian food there as not many competitors in Barcelona. Secondly, the pricing doesn't match the quality. We had ordered various kinds of dosas and desserts but everything turned out to be disappointing.

Servicio excelente y la comida es realmente deliciosa y los sabores son auténticos
100% recomendable!

The food is authenticlly amazing and ive been there many many time and would love to keep going. My experience last time however left a bad taste in my mind when we were ordering desserts and I asked the owner if the gulab jamun will be hot and she snapped back at me that "we will just put it in the microwave and give it to you". I did not like the attitude in which i was answered and found it quite rude. I love gulab jamun and so i love it when its presented in the traditional way i.e. It is hot and not cold. Many restos in Barcelona give it cold and that is bit of a disappointment which is the reason i asked.

Amazing restaurant with dishes I have never seen in another restaurant before. The taste was amazing and you could taste the spices. Recommended

Me encantó cenar en Chennai. Cogimos variedad de platos para probar y la verdad es que todos me encantaron, aunque si tengo que quedarme con uno seria sin duda la Nutella dosa de postre (soy bastante golosa, tengo que admitirlo!) El servicio es inmejorable y te explican con detalle qué es y qué lleva cada plato. ¡Muchísimas gracias, deseando volver!

To start with finding a proper place where we can get authentic South Indian food is amazing. But after being there twice I can absolutely say it was an awesome experience. Truly mouth watering dishes like the dosas and vadas that we had were even better than what we used to have in India. The prices are affordable and the hospitality is too good. We being vegetarians requested special changes and they were taken care of really well. The staff and the owner are down to earth and very helping. Full marks! Plz go and try if you are craving for a good meal.

Reviews from a South Indian:

Update (Oct 2021) : returned to this place after 2 years, and found that it's not that authentic anymore. I suppose they've had to cater more to a heterogeneous audience but I wouldn't call it an "authentic" restaurant.

Delighted with the authentic Thali. Needs reservations ahead.

The best experience for South Indian food in Barcelona. We did a lot of EU food and then wanted something South Indian, we choose this and it was excellent. We loved the taste, the thali and idli sambar.

Como en casa, en casa del sur de la India.

No esperaba que el sabor de la comida es idéntica a la comida de su país original.
Masala dosa sale igual como en Mysore, iddli entre otros platos, Thali y todo absolutamente sabroso y tal como tiene que ser Sabor de la madre India. Estoy muy contenta.

Me gustaría volver más veces,
Fuimos con mis amigos alumnos de yoga y nos ha gustado mucho toda la experiencia,
gracias,

Namaskaram

Nos dejamos asesorar por la moza y fue todo estupendo. La atención fue excelente, los precios muy bien y todo lo que probamos exquisito. Sin duda volveremos y ya lo hemos recomendado a amigos.

Si te gusta la comida india, con sus especias (algo picantes), encontrarás en este restaurante un lugar donde disfrutar. Bienvenido a la comida casera de uno de los países más olvidados de Asia por parte de occidente. La decoración es simple, porque se centran en ofrecer la energía en crear platos sabrosos.

Barato, y buena calidad -precio.

Te ha de gustar el picante ya que casi todo lo lleva (se lo puedes pedir sin, creo) barato y mucha comida en un plato.

Fui a Chennai para comer por primera vez para probar la comida india hace unos días y solo puedo decir cosas buenas de este local. Me he pedido un plato combinado de pollo con curry y tikka masala, recomendación del camarero y con poco picante. El plato abundante y con suficiente para probar de todo. Riquísimo.
Debo decir que el pollo con curry aún estaba muy picante para mí. Pero no como crítica (sabía dónde me metía), sino como advertencia. Si, como yo, no estás acostumbrado al picante. Buenísimo, pero pica!
La ensalada de yogur que acompañaba me ha ayudado con el picante y he probado un mango lassi que creo que se va a convertir en una obsesión. También mencionar el postre, incluido en el plato. No tengo ni idea de qué llevaba, pero estaba delicioso y fue el toque final que remató el menú.
Mencionar también al personal. Al comentar que era la primera vez que venía, supieron recomendarme a la perfección. Además, me explicaron la mejor manera de comer el plato.
Volveré. Cuando recupere la lengua, pero volveré.

Food: authentic tamil food. Loved it.

Service: the male tamil server was good.
But the tamil lady at the billing counter pretend as of she can't even see you if you are tamil looking. She treats you as if she is disgusted by your presence. You will see mix of reviews about service. That is because, this lady treats you well if you are white or posh looking Indian. If you are tamil, expect poor service.

I visited this place 3 times and all 3 times I noticed this treatment.

Unfortunately we don't have any other proper tamil restaurants in Barcelona.

Comida hindú espectacular. La clientela es mas originaria de India que del pais, esto quiere decir que la comida es hindú de verdad.

The reason why I come here is to have Dosa, a traditional meal from the southern India! Dosa is a type of crepe. Very tasty!

La primera vez que voy a un indio y fue una sorpresa positiva, la camarera muy simpática ayudando en todo momento y aconsejando los platos.

Food was very tasty!
we had to wait for close to 30mins as we didn't find a table. We tried meals and dosa.both were amazing! If the white rice was made with sona masuri rice instead of basmati, it would have been in next level!

This restaurant is a must try and better than any South Indian place I've tried across countries. If you like it spicy, try anything with podi masala (podi idli is my personal favourite). Don't forget the mango lassi on the side!

La comida no nos gustó para nada. Obviamente si uno no ha probado comida india antes, esto quizá le parezca aceptable. Pero siendo originario de la India, os recomiendo ir a otros sitios que están bastante mejor que este.

Good food. The portions are large, so don't worry even if you see a 7€ dosa. The dosa would be twice the size of a regular one in India. I tried Medu Vada as well. Weren't as soft as I'd like. The coconut chutney has a long way to improve. But 4 stars- this is the only South Indian place in the city.

Restaurante de comida india, para amantes del picante. Menú de gambas y crepe de carne picada deliciosos. Los zumos con yogur que preparan ahí mismo están muy buenos también y son ideales para rebajar el picante. El postre es una pasta con mucho azúcar, demasiado empalagoso. Los postres son mejorables.

Great authentic food. The service is exceptional and prices are reasonable. The Thali was good combination of many varieties and we couldn't complete eating the whole plate as abundant of food portions

Super good! Authentic South Indian food!

On our second tour to Barcelona we continuesly visit this one specific place without miss.

Cool staff and service! You feel home!

Very much recommended:)

Authentic and genuine street food Southern Indian cuisine. Rapid and nice staff, good service, one of the best and unique places in Barcelona where you can have the original idlys, dosas and uttapams. Highly recommendable.

Authentic south Indian chettinadu taste. Foods are very tasty and yummy. Especially BIRIYANI is excellent. Service and staffs are very good. I give five star rating.

Buen restaurante indio con menús (tipo platos combinados) muy ricos. La variedad de salsas y sabores es un placer al paladar.

We really enjoyed our meal tonight AND we had a waitress that was patient with us and helped us with the menu - she was kind and didn't make us feel stupid. Great meal

Comida muuuuy rica, el personal muy amable y si nunca has comido hindú están muy dispuestos a explicarte. El precio está bastante bien, los platos son grandes. Excelente lugar 100% recomendado.

Love the food and some of the staff! They explain the tradition, the concept of th food in great detail. The ambience could be a bit better and cleaner.

Real authentic chettinad taste and we as family enjoyed the food lot after a long time. This is one of the best and real authentic chettinad taste which I have ever had in different South Indian restaurants.

Ultimate taste! The best authentic South Indian food restaurant in Barcelona that we have come across. Good Service adds to it!

Impressionant restaurant indú. Hem anat per curiositat i provar coses noves i hem sortit encantats. Qualitat a bon preu.
Una bona mostra de menjar forani fugint dels plats habituals que et trobes en restaurants típics. Això sí, compta amb el picant. Pregunteu sempre abans quins aliments piquen i quins no.
Especial menció a la seva butter milk, bona, refrescant i sorprenent.

Excellent authentic South Indian vegetarian food. This is an amazing thing for us when we were in Barcelona. Priced well. We did not like the Thalis (perhaps, meat options are good? I'd never know) but everything else was awesome.

El menu que tienen es muy completo. A mi no me convence el picante pero era bastante tolerable para mi standard. Sencillo y sin pretensiones. Nos ha gustado mucho y volveremos. Ademas el te chai estaba buenisimo tambien.
Y los videoclips musicales de la tele nos han encandilado

We can't compare to the indian food available in India but good place if you are craving for south indian food in foreign land.
We ate two menu, one with chicken and one with the prawn, Rice is good.variety of southindian breakfast options like idly, dosa are available.staff are friendly.definately would recommend

Best South Indian food in Barcelona!
Went back with a really full stomach! The vadas were tasty and dosa size was huuuge.

We were there when we visited Barcelona for 3 days. I should say I was disappointed to find this restaurant only on the LAST day before leaving! Else would have gone eaten there twice everyday. Food here tastes authentic. I have eaten in many Indian restaurants across Europe, but hands down. This is the best of them all where you can get all south Indian dishes from crispy dosas to thali to idly-vada! They serve a Guess what! They even serve authentic Indian tea (Chai) and filter Coffee (Yeah, I know! FILTER Coffee). Staff is very friendly. Restaurant is busy most of the times (obviously due to their tasty food), so booking in advance is recommended. I repeat. This is where I ate best dosas in Europe! If you know what south Indian food tastes like, just walk-in here. Rest they will take care

Very good place to be at, Must visit for a south indian food lovers, authentic taste great service absolutely loved my meal

Super tasty dosas and excellent service by the staff. One of the few restaurants in Europe offering authentic South Indian food. Highly recommend it.

A must go for someone how really wanna have some good vegetarian. We ordered three types of dosa the best one was the ghee masala dosa for me. It was served with aloo masala topped with the delicious ghee, sambhar and two Chutney. The other two dosas were very different but equal good. The ambiance was cosy with bollywood songs playing on screen. In drinks we ordered an amazing mango lassi. To end, I will say that the satff was good and we meet the owner and he was really friendly.its worth the 5 star.
