An Oxford restaurant is launching a new South Indian breakfast menu as it continues to expand its offerings after a successful launch earlier this year.
On Saturday, Dosa Darlings, located on Cowley Road, served traditional South Indian breakfast options from its brand new menu for the first time.
The restaurant will continue to offer breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 12 noon going forward. The menu features breakfast dosas, including Masala Dosa, Ghee Dosa, and Egg Dosa, alongside Idly, a savoury rice cake, and Pongal, a dish made of rice and lentils. Also on the menu is an Uttapam, a thicker type of dosa served with toppings, a Chennai Omelette, and Egg Podimas.
Breakfast goers at Dosa Darlings will also be able to order from a selection of breads, such as Poori Masala or Stuffed Paratha, as well as Goodness Bowls including overnight oats and Kesari, and a variety of hot drinks, smoothies, and fresh juices of the day.
Michael Raphel, owner of Dosa Darlings, which recently also extended its opening hours to seven days a week, said: “South Indian breakfast is truly delicious and we’re very excited to give the people of Oxford the chance to enjoy it and perhaps sample some dishes for the first time.
“We’ve been embraced by the community and are delighted that the success of Dosa Darlings is continuing.”
The breakfast menu launch comes just a few months after the restaurant first opened its doors in February. In June, the business opened a new alfresco dining area. Dosa Darlings, part of the JM Socials restaurant group, offers guests a flavourful adventure that seamlessly marries authentic Kerala cuisine with a contemporary twist.
Its eclectic main menu offers everything from traditional curries and biryani dishes to authentic Indian desserts such as Rasmalai, Halwa, and Pongal. The main highlight is the dosa, with flavour combinations including masala, dates and almond, and even blue cheese and truffle. The cocktail list is also diverse, featuring signature drinks like the Old Fashioned Connoisseur (whisky, galliano, brown cacao, the bitter truth wood, aged in coffee barrels), the Spice Me Up (Earl Grey tea, cinnamon, star anise, lemon zest, orange zest infused tequila, clarified using milk punch technique), and the Eternal Secret (gin, malibu, homemade curry leaf syrup, lemon, coconut soda). Additionally, there are delicious mocktails, including the Mirchi Madness (pineapple juice, fresh red chillies, lemon and coconut syrup).
To encourage customers to try a South Indian breakfast this summer, Dosa Darlings is offering guests a 25% discount of breakfast throughout July. To make a booking, email [email protected] or call 01865 602040. For more information on Dosa Darlings, visit Dosa Darling.
