I’ve reviewed the House of Dosas twice before so I’m loath to do it again, but they’ve introduced a special on Tuesdays that I can’t not write about. The Thali plate kicks ass with no less than 13 mini dishes in colours ranging from hot pink to lime green and flavours as diverse as sweet coconut and spicy pickle for $9.99.
This is the only place in Vancouver that I know of that’s serving traditional cuisine from the region of Kerala. On one metal plate you’ll find (among other specialties) chutney, dhal, curried cauliflower, yogurt with roasted chilis and chapati, pappadum and rice to mop it all up. It’s all vegetarian, so if you need a meat fix, get an order of chicken 65 but be warned that you’ll be very full.
In other exciting news, House of Dosas is now open 24 hours for your late night dosa cravings.

Thali is not a Kerala item. I have seen Thali in Tamil and Kannada cuisines more.
There is a similar meal in Kerala but it doesn’t have chapathi or any bread for that matter. And it always have a fish item plus sambar, pulissery, thorans,pickles and of course pappadam.
Generally speaking if a cuisine is vegetarian it can’t be from Kerala. All the vegetarian restaurants that you will find in Kerala are either from Southern Karnataka Cuisine or Tamil Cuisine.
Thanks for clarifying. It was a while ago, but next time I’m there I’ll ask them why they specify Kerala.
