✓ We did hear that these guys had a mobile food truck, but had never ever seen it until now, for us it was almost like the "Holy Grail" of Indian Street Food: did it exist or was the actual food truck just a fictional story, well we can happily confirm that it is very real and definitely does exist.....because we've finally seen it!!!
We were visiting the Punjabi Sikh Vaisaki celebrations in Trafalgar Square and right there before our very eyes (with Admiral Nelson keeping a close watch on things) was the elusive food truck and what a breathtaking truck it is; a fully kitted out "Mobile Dosa Kitchen" - fitted out with Clean Shiny Stainless Steel, Hand Wash Sinks, Hot Water Burner, Oil Fryer.
We even love the Electric Door and the South Indian Malayalam, Kannada and Tamil letters font:
* ദോശ - Malayalam language
* ದೋಸೆ - Kannada language
* தோசை - Tamil language
A Desi Indian Street Food Truck with the delicious aromas wafting from the dosa hotplate griddle.....can we have one of these parked up outside our house please!!!
MENU ITEM ON THE DAY:
* "Chilli Cheese Dosas" filled with Spiced Grated Paneer, Tomato Chutney, Red Onion & Tamarind Sauce.
* "Mysore Masala Dosa" Masala Potato Mash, Hot Garlic Chutney, Red Onion.
* Authentic Punjabi Samosas (authentic because the samosas were made by a Punjabi company in Southall.
The reason that we always look forward to seeing Dosa Deli is that the "Desi" items on their menu are inspired by their travels in India and really does remind us of the many times that we ate dosas in India at roadside stalls and restaurants.
They call them South Indian Rice & Lentil Pancake Wraps. Personally, if truth be told we really don't care what they are called because all we know is that the dosas' that these guys serve up are delicious and are always fully loaded.
Unlike some places there is nothing hidden and no secret to the recipe because everything is made in full view of customers just like in India.....you could very easily forget that the dosas being served up are here in the heart of "Proper London"
There may be other London Dosa Wallahs out there but we call them the "Dosa Sons". The Dosa Deli Guys are the original Dosa Kings of London.
If you remember we have caught up with these "Dosa Masters" at previous years Alchemy Festivals (here's links to videos we made of them then; 2014: • "Spicy Paneer Dosa" wi... & 2016: • Chilli Cheese (Paneer)... )
"Mr & Mrs Dosa" (aka Amy and Kristian) are "Master Dosa Makers" having traveled in India & Asia, whilst along the way gleaning tasty secrets, hints & tips from expert cooks & chefs with the ultimate aim of creating delicious masterpiece recipes.
Dosa Deli are "street food troubadours" so if you want to know where they will be next, look out for messages of their schedule on their social media pages (or you could message them. Dosa Deli can be found serving dosas' at various locations in London & festivals in the U.K.

A very special thank you to Kristian, Amy and all of the Dosa Deli team who very much welcomed us and graciously allowed us a privileged glimpse into their kitchen to do the videoing even though they were extraordinarily busy.
The thing is; we usually catch up with the Dosa Deli guys at the Alchemy festival; but this year (2019) the Alchemy festival was not taking place. So it really was a pleasant surprise to chance upon them in Trafalgar Sq.
This video recorded on Saturday 27th April 2019 at Trafalgar Square.
