Masala Dosai-great Sri Lanken cafe on Stapleton road.

[kalidarkone]

Went here last night and had an amazing meal....It is a few doors up from the Black Swan on the same side heading towards town.
The cafe is quite shoddy but clean with the most amazing artex ceiling I have ever seen.
The menu was difficult to interpret as there were a lot of dishes I had never heard of, so I got the owner to explain what the dishes were, but in the end just ordered randomly. There was a large Sri Lanken family in (good sign) who laughed at what we ordered but were also very helpful. The food was amazing, loads of option for veggy and vegan and it was so cheap! £29 for four of us and we ordered way too much and could not finish.

So recomend this highly!! Also it is a BYO

I can't picture it. Near the job centre?

 

[fractionMan]

I just looked it up on the map and it's miles from the centre. I think I'll be up that way-ish next week looking for records.

Looking for records? Where do you look for records in east Bristol?

Its next to the Turkish mini mart, near the job centre-you would not notice it unless you knew it was there.

Balls, I read the map wrong. It's nowhere near gloucester road, is it?

Yeah, I looked it up on the map. I will keep an eye out for it next time I go past on the bus. Do they do take away?

Yeah and give em a good 45 mins cos they cook it from scratch.

there's a good dosa place a couple of shops up from the mosque.is that it?

 

[kalidarkone]

Its more then a couple of shops from the mosque. Halfway between the Coach house and the Black swan. It felt a little menacing down there on Friday night-it was a bit exciting Might be something to do with the gang of men hanging out.

I'm thinking of the Thali Cafe in St Marks Rd . They do giant dosas

yeah the one I'm on about is near a different mosque and shits all over the Thali (as much as I like the Thali) in terms of the food.

The thali cafe seems to cater entirely to middle class tossers like me

I don't think I have ever had Sri Lankan food. Sounds good though!

If I had to eat one cuisine for the rest of my life, I'd be happy if it was sri-lankan.

 

[kalidarkone]

I think I would too!!

If FM is into reggae I would recommend Genesis Records also on Stapleton Road 5-10 mins walk from the cafe. Also Chemical Records on Feeder Road.
