What User doesn't like about Swami's Dosa Grill:

Each order is just one dosa which is... View all feedback. What User likes about Swami's Dosa Grill:
Excellent food with a wide variety of sauces. Lots of menu options that I hadn't heard of before doing an adventure but one sure thing that knew everything was vegetarian/vegan. I had the samosas and masala dosa and everything was delicious. A little hard to find at the back of the Kona International Market as the rest of the market appears to be closing down.
