Restaurant review: A fine taste of home for Indian diaspora in Cork

La daughter and I have surrendered to Sunday afternoon serendipity, mooching around town with no plan other than that it might involve books, records, makeup, and whatever weird and random shops en route catch our fancy. Strangely, we had forgotten entirely about food until we find ourselves outside The Dosa Spot (TDS), its bright and cheery aspect triggering our appetites.
The effect is more pronounced within. The space is functional and nondescript, a rectangular box with booths, but a canny makeover has imbued it with an entirely different energy. Exuberantly colourful Indian lanterns dangle from the ceiling and local signwriter Niall Marron’s chalkboard-style hand-painted work pops off the walls, adding a casual, funky sensibility in keeping with the aimed-for South Indian vibe.
Unlimited access. Half the price.
