Chennai Dosa Swindon

You'll spot the queue before you see the sign on Victoria Road – always a good indicator when it comes to authentic South Indian food. The dining room might not win any design awards, but nobody's here for the décor when there are paper-thin dosas being rolled out fresh in the open kitchen. The menu reads like a love letter to Tamil Nadu street food, with masala dosas that could double as tablecloths and uttapam that's properly fermented and tangy. Their coconut chutney is the real deal – none of that sweet shop nonsense – and the sambar has enough depth to make you question every curry you've had before. Weekend mornings see families from across Swindon descending for breakfast, which tells you everything about how seriously they take their South Indian classics.
