"I visited this restaurant regularly until Christmas 2021. this was my first visit this year and the property has changed again! in the front part of the restaurant were three lights turned on, the light was bad, the heating was...ab and there was no music at all. the waiter' had difficultities in the first part of my order for 2 plain and 2 spicy poppadome and a bottle cobra, after several repeated accusations he finally got it right, except to try to give me 2 bottles cobra at the same time. I decided to skip the starter and chicken jalfrezi mushroom rice and okra ordered. the food came, but the waiter treated the plate with bare hands and not covered with a served cloth, while he got the food I used my bag sanitiser to wipe the plate where he put his thumb. the chicken was tasteless and was possibly boiled, in which the whole meal was tasteless. I paid the bill and went around 9.45 clock within about 1 minute of my leave the restaurant closed and the roller shutters were closed. this was a Saturday night and it seemed that I had been their only eating in the customer. I don't think they'll survive much longer. a great scandal that a beautiful restaurant with a hygiene rating of 5 seems to be on the way last year."

"Allowed me to book a table hours beforehand and then upon arrival was greeted by the silence of an empty restaurant. After about mins of waiting and chatting , the manager enters through the front door and tells us to take our seat and then goes into the kitchen. After another mins of chatting the manager comes out and tells us the head chef is not in and so we will have to leave. To the managerâs credit he did seem apologetic and cordial but things like this should not happen in the first place."

"On Wednesday, 30/11/22, three local middle-aged pescatarian men celebrated a birthday by going out for lunch at Madras, a Sri-Lankan/South Indian restaurant in Lewisham. They had been to the restaurant before when it was known as The Green Cabin. The restaurant had a few faded decorations and furniture, but the food was always tasty and reasonably priced. They arrived around 13:40 and found the restaurant nearly empty, so they chose a table by the window in the hopes of attracting more customers. The menu offered a mix of traditional Indian and South Indian dishes, and they decided to skip alcohol and order lassis instead. They were cautious about ordering too much due to the spiciness of the food. Throughout their meal, they noticed several delivery couriers coming in and out. A family arrived later on, but the restaurant remained relatively quiet. One of the men accidentally ordered a mixed Thali, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise with a variety of delicious vegetarian dishes. They also ordered a Mutton Masala Dosai and some side dishes to share. The food was spicy but delicious, and they managed to finish everything without needing a doggy bag. The bill came to a reasonable £50.90, and they left a £5 tip before heading out into the streets of Lewisham, happy and satisfied."
"Great food, good menu variety, polite but slightly odd waiters. The layout is too dense and the front door doesn 't shut so every time someone comes or goes the wind comes in. They charge a 12.5% 'discretionary service fee ' (aka. mandatory tip) THEN have the body nerve to ask if you want to add another tip on top when paying. The service fee is included in the price of the food, it 's not something you can charge extra for. This isn 't the USA, we don 't do mandatory service fees or tipping here and we don 't want to start it, so that sure isn 't on. Avoid this and other restaurants that do this until they sort that out or we 'll be stuck with it."

"We waited a while for our drinks, had to ask staff if we could at least get our drinks. When we did, my husband had to ask for a new wine glass as it was dirty, which the waiter did apologies and replace immediately. When we the wine was served, there was spillage on our table but we just over looked that. Food wait wasn’t too long considering it was super busy, so always prebook. We both got a dosa each, which was flavourless and bland, compared to dosa’s we have had at other places. Lacked flavour, presentation was okay. Service wasn’t great, no one asked if we wanted to see a dessert menu, just felt like we were rushed. I did ask on my reservation if we could have something special for my husband It was his birthday. But nothing was mentioned, again very disappointed. First and last visit"

"I had been here many years before and was delighted it was still open. However although we said we had booked the table on first arriving, it didn’t appear to register. Our coats were not taken and hung up because quite simply there isn’t this service . Instead seeing I was struggling on the tiny two seater table to place my coat anywhere we were ushered to a two seater right at the back by the serving hatches and I was told I could put my coat on top of the utensils behind. Only when we ordered quite a substantial meal and drinks did another waiter seat us at a larger table opposite where our meal could ‘fit’ and my coat could be placed next to me . The meal was however delicious. At the end I mentioned again that we had made a prior reservation but I still don’t think this registered."

"Even though the restaurant's decor may be outdated, the food is exceptional. The service was also very good. My brother and I really enjoy this place and every dish we've tried has been fantastic. The prices are reasonable. The portions may seem small, but they are actually quite filling. It can get busy, so it's best to make a reservation or arrive early. The service, dining in, and atmosphere all rated a 5. Recommended dishes include Masala Dosa, Chicken Tikka, and Pilau Rice. Highly recommended for vegetarians with a large selection of clearly labeled vegetarian dishes available. Price per person ranges from £10 to £20 for dinner."

"I would support everything that previous reviewers have said about this Indian restaurant. However, they must be aware that they add 10% service to their total without it in any way. so it is only if they cancel the bill, they will notice that their total amount should be 10% more than it should be and there is no warning why. no rake 10 service and no carry in the gap. this is dishonest and misleading and probably leads to an ugly 20% tip. I have always added service without recognizing that they contain it a very underhand and hidden art. I asked the waiter who became a little shy and said his boss told them to do it. I like eating, but I'm not going back."

"After viewing their website, it seemed obvious to give this restaurant a go. However if you 're looking for authentic sri lankan food, please stay away from this restaurant. Of course you will not get real Sri lankan food in the UK, but one would expect sth similar to it if you 're going to spend a considerable amount of money. I have been to Sri Lanka for 2 weeks this year, thus I know what to expect to a certain degree. The chicken kothu tastes like an ordinary biryani, the lampris is extremely dry (usually very moist) and the service was not reflecting the price on the menu. Overall, this restaurant has made a very poor effort to call itself a sri lanka restaurant. I 'm shocked/bamboozled it 's received so many positive reviews."

"I needed an eatery with good vegetarian options for my party of four and was not disappointed. The food was totally excellent. I happened to enjoy a chicken dish with a lovely mango lassi. Others in the party had dosas which were very good. Apart from the excellent food I should mention the friendly and helpful staff. Dosa World is only a few steps away from the tourist trail of Brick Lane with endless guys offering discounts and trying to lure you in. None of this at Dosa World. Unfortunately there were not a lot of people eating but then we were quite early. What else can I say? Patronise if you are in the area."

"Had a dinner with family. When we arrived at 7pm on a Saturday the dining room was a little quiet but by 8pm it had soon filled up. The food was phenomenal. It is slightly different to Indian food we are typically used to and in my opinion it is better. The breads were great. The curry’s were all super flavourful and trying a traditional dessert was lovely too. Alcohol is a little on the expensive side for the area. I can’t wait to return and try other things from the menu as there was so much on there that sounded so good."
