Between Chinese School and Acupuncture this Sat, I was in Hartsdale NY getting a quick lunch from Masala Kraft Cafe. The restaurant is conveniently located right across from the Hartsdale Metro North station and a weekend farmer’s market. I was very hopeful because I was there once before and had a decent experience. When you first walked in the place, it smelled aromatic and filled with spices that transport you to a different continent. It made me smile. 🙂
Unfortunately, my good experience was not meant to be repeated. We ordered three dosas. Here is how they turned out.
This is the Masala Dosa. The presentation was impressive. The crepe is thin and has a nice consistency. The filling of spiced mashed potatoes and onions was a little salty.
Here is the Bombay Dosa for me. The filling is curried potatoes with vegetables. It was extremely salty. I was very hungry but could not ignore the salt. It was so heavily salted that I wondered if it was double salted. I left my dosa half eaten. I think the filling would have been great with only plain rice – a lot of it!
The cheese dosa. Bleh. Plain and wished it was a French crepe instead. It was also salty!
Masala Kraft’s menu for your reference. Probably should have tried other items instead of putting all my eggs in the dosa basket.
Do not recommend the dosa. I did buy two bananas from the farmer’s market afterwards though. It was not a complete waste.
