Dosa Kitchen

You'll find yourself heading down Osborne Road in Jesmond for proper South Indian cooking that doesn't mess about. Dosa Kitchen takes their craft seriously—crispy dosas stuffed with spiced potatoes and served alongside sambar and coconut chutney that actually tastes like someone's mum made it. The curries are rich and layered, coconut-forward where they should be, and they'll happily turn up the heat if you ask. It's unpretentious but proper, the kind of neighbourhood spot that's become a regular haunt for people who know their food.
