The Palace of Dosas, Amherst, NY

Restaurant Review by Jennifer Kumar.

This is our second visit to this South Indian themed restaurant. (First visit here.)

We started with Aloo Boonda and Sambar Vada.

Sambar vada was tasty. Aloo Boonda was also very good, but had too many tastes inside and was a bit spicy for me.

Main meal for me was Palace Thali. This is rice served with dhal, sambar, rasam, cabbage curry, aloo chole (potato - chick pea curry), raita, papard, roti, pickles and halwa. Everything tasted really good, but I was suprised to see the aloo chole as this is more a North Indian dish and never saw this preparation in Chennai especially. In fact, I never saw chole (chick peas) in curries- only in sundal (a fried snack), and especially not mixed with potato The preparation was the only choice in the thali also not including mustard seeds.

My husband had the mysore masala dosa. He thought the potato filling and dosa were tasty but the mysore masala paste smothered on the dosa left the taste buds wanting more. In fact, I need to figure out how to make that paste. If you know a good recipe, please link it in the comments below.

Another good experience at this hotel. In addition to the food, I have to say that the restrooms are very clean and inviting. This is concurrent with our last visit as well.

Another more detailed review of this location is found on the blog, Ahaar.
