About
Chennai Dosa Swindon
Welcome to Chennai Dosa Swindon, a dining gem nestled in the heart of Swindon at 1 Victoria Rd. This establishment brings the vibrant flavors of South India right to the UK, offering patrons a delicious journey through authentic dishes that celebrate the culinary heritage of Tamil Nadu.
As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I have had the pleasure of exploring the rich and diverse menu at Chennai Dosa. From the moment you step inside, the aroma of spices and freshly prepared dishes tantalizes the senses. The menu features a wide variety of dosas, from classic masala dosas to creative newer variations, along with a selection of south Indian snacks and biryanis.
Customer reviews showcase a shared love for the dishes here. Paul Butcher enjoyed Gobi 65 and Gobi Manchurian, showcasing the kitchen's knack for flavor. Hayley C-J praised the affordability and quality, claiming it rivals some of Leicester's best Indian restaurants. Meanwhile, Noel Joseph celebrated the buffet experience, particularly highlighting the vada and mango sheer dessert as must-tries.
I must say, the authenticity shines through. Each dosa is made with precision, and the accompanying chutneys—be it the sambar or refreshing coconut chutney—offer a delightful balance to the robust flavors of the curries. However, I noticed some feedback on the biriyani, which could benefit from closer adherence to traditional Tamil Nadu preparations.
While the food experience is overwhelmingly positive, some diners noted inconsistencies in customer service and dining atmosphere, particularly during quieter evening visits. It’s essential for the management to ensure that service matches the delightful quality of the food.
In conclusion, Chennai Dosa Swindon is more than just a restaurant; it’s a gathering place for South Indian food lovers craving authenticity. The blend of savory dishes and a homely vibe makes it a noteworthy spot to indulge in spices and flavors that transport you straight to India. Don't forget to try the buffet—it offers fantastic value while allowing you to sample a variety of dishes! Whether you're a local or just passing through, this restaurant deserves a spot on your culinary checklist.

“ Following a small pub crawl in Old Town with my Newphew and another day, another curry. This time, we shared Gobi 65 and Gobi Manchurian for starters (cauliflower cooked two ways), followed by Chicken Chettinadu for my main with rice and shared Cheese and Chilli Naan. ”
“ This place served up the best Indian food I've tasted in a long time. I come from Leicester and have tried many Indian restaurants, this place is on par with some of the best Indian restaurants from there but at a cheaper cost. I put the atmosphere at 3* because it was a Tuesday evening when I went, but to be honest I prefer it to be quieter anyway. Please say a massive thank you to whoever the chefs were Tuesday evening on 13th May, and for catering for my dietary requirements. ”
“ We ordered dosas, biriyani and other south indian dishes, delicious food... They have wide range of dosas and south indian snacks.... Biriyani tasted not exact Tamil nadu style biriyani... can be better..other dishes are perfect... ”

“ Broooooo honestlyyyyy I’ve tried South Indian breakfast in the uk in loads of places! Honest review the buffet is worth it! (It’s a tenner!) the vada slapped! The dessert mango sheer(omggggggggg!! Pleaseee try it!!!) Thank you to Harini and the other staff(sorry I forgot to ask his name), who were really nice! Especially the chef Nanda great cooking and my whole family loved the food! The sambar, white chutney, the red (I think tomato) chutney they were amazing. Me and my family got buffet. The masala dosa, make sure you order it along with your buffet it’s free! Once again I wish there were South Indian restaurants out there that make authentic food like them! Also you can only put the car for parking in front of it for only an hour! So make sure to find parking somewhere else or stay for an hour as I saw cars getting ticketed ”
“ True Indian hospitality. We ordered food on Deliveroo app and the delivery thief disappeared with our food. We called the restaurant again and they were happy to take our order again despite 30 minutes to closing hours. For no fault of theirs, they extended their hours to make sure we got the food (our kids were too hungry) What's more, they gave us additional desserts as well. Our evening started with a bad note with Deliveroo, but rescued by Chennai Dosa. The food tasted awesome as well. Authentic Indian. ”
“ Wow what a gem!!!! Proper Indian food, tastes are unreal, staff friendly and would love a place like this on our home town (although I'm likely to be obese). Portions are great, prices are more than reasonable. Highly recommend this place. Reminds me of a school dinner hall with metal plates, cool vibe ”
“ The food was amazing. This is the closest to the tasty food you get in south India. Peas Pulav, Gobi Manchurian, Kadai paneer n chicken 65 was tantalising. Never miss their chicken Kothu parotta. ”
