The Orchard Centre Didcot has added a vibrant new flavour to its growing dining line-up with the arrival of Crispy Dosa – the popular South Indian vegetarian restaurant that has now officially opened opposite Cineworld Cinema.
Bringing an authentic taste of South India to Didcot, Crispy Dosa’s colourful menu celebrates vegetarian cuisine at its finest, offering an array of traditional dishes prepared with bold, aromatic spices. From crisp dosas and soft, steamed idlis to Indo-Chinese favourites and tandoori specials, the menu caters to everyone from long-time fans of South Indian food to those discovering it for the first time.
The restaurant’s signature dish – its namesake crispy dosas – are thin, golden pancakes made from a rice and lentil batter, served with sambar and freshly made chutneys. Guests can choose from a wide range of fillings, including the classic masala, spicy paneer, and cheese & chilli varieties.
Since opening, Crispy Dosa has already made a big impression among locals, with chilli paneer and gobi Manchurian emerging as early favourites.
Dean Inwood, Centre Manager at Orchard Centre, said: “It’s been fantastic to see such a positive response to Crispy Dosa already – there’s a real buzz among visitors eager to try the varied menu.
“The new addition strengthens our growing food and drink offering and reflects our ongoing commitment to bring fresh and exciting experiences to the Orchard Centre.”
Mohan Malavath, General Manager at Crispy Dosa, added: “This is an incredibly exciting time for us as we open our doors at the Orchard Centre. We’re passionate about sharing the vibrant flavours of South Indian cuisine, and it’s been amazing to see such a warm welcome from the local community already.
“We’re really enjoying getting to know our diners and can’t wait to introduce even more locals to everything Crispy Dosa has to offer.”
The opening marks another step in the restaurant group’s growth, as Crispy Dosa continues to expand its loyal following for authentic vegetarian dishes inspired by the street food of southern India. Guests can choose to dine in or take their favourites to go.
Crispy Dosa joins an exciting mix of restaurants at Orchard Centre Didcot, including Nando’s, BLK HSE, Berro Lounge, Kaspa’s and LUSSO – further enhancing the centre’s reputation as a popular dining destination in South Oxfordshire.
