The best dosa at this place is ommun masala which is perfectly spicy and also aesthetically awesome with its colours!!
I had Sambavam dosa. Bharatan si dosa. It is actually very unique from rest dosa outlets. Worth every penny !. Superb taste. Must try.
Good quality Dosa, multiple choice to choose.
Need to improve packaging.
Overall place to recommend.
One of those authentic and must visit places in kochi. Pai dosa is famous for their endless varieties of dosas, each one better than the other.
The kada mutta dosa is one of their specialities. The quantity is worth the price. They have a live counter where they make the dosas and it is self service.
Could improve on the ambience but overall worth a visit.
Recommendations: Cheese Podi Dosa, Bheeman Roast
I first visited Pai Dosa seven years ago, aged 16. A few friends and I were out running errands and opted for this store tucked away down a lane off of MG Road. Since my move back to Kochi a couple months ago, I’ve made several trips down to this little gem to get my fill of variety Dosa.
Pai’s started off with 36 varieties of dosa way back in the day. They’ve now expanded their menu to a whopping 180 and continue to retain their bustling alleyway store. What’s better than dosas cooked to crackly perfection? Getting said dosas well into the night; and that’s exactly what Pai’s has to offer.
When speaking of Pai’s, my friend always gets a wistful look on her face. The words that then tumble off her lips on a sigh are “Cheese Podi Dosa!” Podi is a popular South-Indian condiment to dosa, idli, etc. This spicy powder paired with a copious dispersal of mozzarella cooked over the crispiest dosa definitely warrants the dreamy look we all seem to get when speaking of this particular treat.
The Bheeman Roast is a MASSIVE plain dosa served with two chutneys and sambar. A portion of this is fit for a whole family! So, if you plan on plunging into a food coma, grab your best mate and indulge in this feast.
Masala, egg, garlic, onion, tomato, cheese, and much more fill the counter behind which these wholesome meals are prepped. Each ingredient is dealt with a generous hand making Pai’s one of the most pocket-friendly, value for money joints in town. There’s also a spacious parking lot right next to the store which is rare to come by on MG Road. The next time you’re around, make sure you check Pai’s out, you will not be disappointed.

I have been a regular to PBFF, MG Road since childhood. It's a paradise for Dosa lovers! The Masala Dosa served here is best that you will ever have. The taste is legendary!

Podi kada bulls eye dosa👌 and speed delivery also so you can get very hot food. 36 dosa variety, some times be ome confused which one select
Food is good.. But why is there no online food delivery like before?... No delivery during day time as well. Please start online delivery like before.
They have like 179 varieties of Dosa. Only Vegetarian available. I've had their Kada Bullseye Dosa and the normal Bullseye Dosa. Both were good. The Kada Bullseye Dosa is a tummy filler. They serve with Samabar, chutney and achar. If you love Dosas, then you must visit this place. Affordable too.
Its on the MG Road. Very good location. The staff was good. The service was fast.
We ordered Masala Dosa n Utappa. The Dosa was very crunch n tasty. The utappa was very good sponge n taste. The sambar was of Malabar taste. Anyway the Sambar taste varies in the all four southern states. Chutney was good.
The rates are ok. The experience was good can recommend this place to friends.
If you are a dosa lover you would enjoy visiting here, no doubt at all. I have had visited this Pai Dosa restaurant end number of times. It remains open till 2AM with an average footfall of 200 folks during week days evenings and around 300 folks during weekend evenings.
A few points from my side:-
Wide variety of menu
Taste at its best
Great service
Ambience is average
Crockery is okay
Cleanliness to be improved
Washrooms to be maintained well
Enough parking space
Always crowded(because food is good)
Reasonable pricing
Soft drinks/ Tea & Coffee also being served here.
A must visit place in Kochi to hangout during evenings with friends and families.
Even though there are other Pai Dosa restaurants in Kochi, this is the best one.
I feel like I've entered in a Brahmin agrahara, that the vibe was excellent 👍 there is a lot varieties of dosa recipes and also some kind of sweets were available. Kind of good customer service and never feel bad with the quality of the food also. If the food presentation in any other way can be improved there supremacy even more better. That's the only suggestion .
Wide variety of dosas..
Must try
1. Thattil kutti dosa.. try with their dry coconut chutney
2. Garlic podi dosa
Masala dosa wasn't impressive. 1 order comes with 2 pieces.
This place is a good option to try out varities of dosa. They have huge menu of dosa. We have tried thattil kutty dosa, masala dosa and special egg dosa. All these are tasty. We can try different types of dosas
Location is easily accessible with proper indication on MG road. Went with family and we asked the staff to order the variety dosa there. We didn't placed the order and you will get confused with the long list of dosas in this shop. SI bharathan dosa is a must try here. One dosa is enough fill the tummy. We order veg and egg varieties of dosa.
Dosa tastes really good and side chutneys are not that great. Order lime juice along with it and had a nice time dining here. A few pics from my recent visit. Thank you
This is an absolute must if you love dosa. They have so many kinds! You could spend a month in India and not be able to try them all. They cook in front of you and so the experience is even more exciting. Also great coffee and service.

A paradise for Dosa lovers. No doubt at all. Huge variety to choose from. Lots of egg options too. Must visit. We had been here end times and enjoyed the variety to the fullest.
Hi guys,
I tried 2 variety dosa ..one is kutti masala dosa nd next one is tomato onion dosa ..most favourite is kutti masala dosa..it's beautiful taste and 2 kutti masala dosa at affordable price..self service..firstly u select items and pay money then bill gave to kitchen section..they gave dishes nearly 10 minutes...dining area also spacious...specially I noticed that hot and normal drinking water available one-sided of the restaurant...nice food spot with affordable rate
Huge varieties of Dosa especially for dosa lovers. They says 36 varieties of dosa but you will find even more. First of all I need to highlight that this restaurant is not pure veg. This restaurant serves egg dosa's. Interior is average. Neat but still need some improvement. Need to pre pay food and only self service available. Parking space available. Accepts credit , debit cards & upi. Price is high compared to other restaurants. Located near MG Road metro station
Very excellent location for having many varieties of dosa. My personal favourite is kada butter bullseye dosa. Over 36 varieties of dosa is available if not more. Cost is little on the premium side but the taste is excellent
