The date

Most dosa spots are fluorescent, cash-only, and gone by 9pm. Panorama Indian Lounge took the dosa and put it in a room with low lighting and a proper cocktail list, without compromising the kitchen. The dosas are crackling-crisp and rated 4.6 by over 2,300 people who didn't come for ambience alone. It's halal and lively, so order a cocktail, get a dosa, and let the evening stretch.

How to do it

This is street food in a lounge, so play it both ways: start with cocktails and a plate of chaat or a sizzler, then split a dosa, the masala dosa and the Mysore are the crowd-pullers and arrive shatteringly crisp. Grab a booth toward the back for the low-lit, lingering vibe rather than the bright front. It's halal with a real bar, so there's no rush to leave; budget around an hour and three-quarters and don't miss pairing the spice with a tall cocktail.
