Balaji Dosai
A South Indian vegetarian eatery near the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, offering cheap and fast dosas, making it a popular budget choice for tourists and locals alike.
Located on D.S. Senanayake Veediya, right next to the Queen's Hotel and just a few minutes' walk from the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, making it highly convenient before or after a visit. Specializing in South Indian vegetarian food, popular orders include Ghee Masala Dosai, Paper Dosai, Spicy Dosai, and Ulundu Vade. The flavors are praised as authentic, service is fast, and the food preparation is cleaner than typical roadside stalls, though prices are slightly higher than local-oriented joints. It gets busy during peak dining hours. The entire menu is vegetarian. There are multiple branches in Kandy; this entry is for the one in front of the temple, so do not confuse it with other locations.
