House of Dosas - Vegan Options

These days we are doing more and more revisiting of the places that we have enjoyed the most. I've made no secret here of our love for south Indian food and especially dosa and that is what brought us back to House of Dosas in White Rock.
Located on 152nd at 17th, parking is shit here. We ended up on 17a in what is signed as Johnson Plaza parking (which this is). Other than that, our legs aren't broken so we can walk a bit.
We first noticed a change of menu in that Rasam Vadai was no longer on the menu. Mharie had talked about this dish since the last time we were here and so was a little disappointed. We ordered the Medu Vada which in reality is similar but with less soup! A couple of deep fried lentil flour donuts complete with sambar and coconut and tomatoe chutneys. Loved this almost as much as the Rasam Vadai.
We're big fans of Uthappam as well, dosas' pizza like cousin. This pancake is made with fermented rice and lentil flour, came topped with veggies (because that was the one we ordered) and accompanied by the usual sambar and chutneys. Again, we loved it!
I'm pretty sure we ordered the Onion Rava Masala Dosa this time. To be honest, this was just a tiny bit on the greasy side (no more than fried potatoes anywhere else) but that was not troubling. Stuffed with Masala potatoes, there are too many options to mention when it comes to variations on  dosa so we will never tire of it. If I could only eat one type of food for the rest of my life, it would be dosa and south Indian food in general.
I am not sure what the distinction is between south Indian and Sri Lankan food but look at a map and you will see why they could both be offered in one restaurant. We found it a bit chilly in the dining room but it could be that they had just gotten things opened up and not yet warmed up. For the second time, we found the service to be friendly and efficient. 
Make sure you try this place!
