CHENNAI DOSA CARDIFF

You're walking down Cowbridge Road East in Canton and you smell it before you see it: the unmistakable aroma of fermented rice batter hitting a hot griddle. Chennai Dosa does one thing and does it brilliantly—dosas so crispy they shatter when you bite into them, filled with spiced potato, paneer, or chicken depending on what you fancy. The sambar and coconut chutney aren't an afterthought either; they're the reason you keep coming back. It's unpretentious, reasonably priced, and genuinely busy most nights, which tells you everything you need to know about how seriously they take their craft.
