And the mark of a good dosa is how sad I am when I'm finished it and there's no more, though I'm full to bursting and shouldn't eat anything else. (I was sad indeed)
Housemates Bella and Alex were first time dosa eaters, and were both very happy with their dosa. Bella had the masala dosa also (listed on the menu as the 'classic'); Alex had the eggplant and pea dosa, which I briefly sampled and had a very mild smokey flavour.
Our eyes were massive, so I insisted on ordering the vegetable biryani and a dish of momo for sharing also. The biryani was excellent, interestingly minty but very moreish. The momo were also excellent and I will eat them again for sure.
I also had a mango and pistachio cooler, which is basically a lassi but with almond milk. I chose to have mine with added coconut rum. It was good but it wasted precious tummy space. Maybe on a beautiful summer evening.
Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free are all clearly labeled on the menu. The staff are really friendly, and as Mukka just opened, they're having a discount until 12 November. I plan to eat there this Sunday lunch time, not cos there's a special but because dosa for lunch is one of the greatest reasons to exist on this planet.
I just made my mum jealous on the phone by describing to her in loving detail the distance between my house and this dosa. (Always remember that the way to make a Malaysian mother annoyed is to tell her you're having better food than her)
My only complaint is that I wish the biryani was a little spicier. D:
Mukka Indian Restaurant
365 Brunswick Street
Fitzroy
Totally failing at remembering if there's a step to get in. Low tables, mixture of stools and chairs with back. Inside is well lit, ordering happens at the table. Payment over a high counter. Toilet is down a dark narrow path. Takes cards and cash.
Get there on the 96 or the 12 tram. Please don't bring a car into Fitzroy if you can help it, it's so annoying.

Sounds awesome, I went by there today on the tram (though Smith & Deli was my destination). I see Mukka is where Frolic froyo was too. I gotta get that dosa.
I'm way happier with Indian there than froyo, though that was nice enough. Definitely a number of other things on the menu I'd like to try once I've got over my desperation for masala dosa. I went to S&Deli today as well! Had the Maury Ballstein, mostly because you mentioned it the other day.
Oh, I can't wait to try this place!
Best indian restaurant located in Fitzroy, Australia for the Indian street food lovers.
