The Best Dosa in Dubai

5 spots for dosa in Dubai we actually rate - from Saravanaa Bhavan and Aanjaneya. Prices and must-orders included.

5 rankedIndependent picksUpdated June 2026

For the best dosa in Dubai, start with Saravanaa Bhavan, Aanjaneya and Vasanta Bhavan Deira. We've worked through the dosa across Dubai over 2024-26 and these 5 are the ones worth your money, ranked.

Every venue below is real and independently visited, with a price range and the exact order. We update this list as new spots open.

How we chose these 5 dosa picks

This isn't a scraped directory. We visit and pay for our own meals, then rank on food first, then value, room and how reliably a kitchen repeats - across multiple visits in 2024-26. We take no payment for placement, and we revisit when a head chef or menu changes. Where a venue has slipped, it drops; where a newcomer earns it, it climbs. Saravanaa Bhavan, Aanjaneya and Vasanta Bhavan Deira currently sit at the top for that reason.

How to use this list. Each entry shows its cuisine, a real price range per person and the dish we'd order first, so you can shortlist by budget and craving in seconds. Prices are what we actually paid including the usual taxes and service, not headline menu figures, and we re-check them each quarter. Booking notes flag which spots need a reservation and how far ahead - useful when Saravanaa Bhavan, Aanjaneya fills up on weekends.
