Swami’s Dosa Grill Restaurant 74-5533 Luhia Street Kona International Market, Inside Food Court, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740

"We are visiting Kona from Fairbanks Alaska for a week and we stopped by once for lunch and came back few days later for dinner. It was very authentic south Indian food.Tasted like homemade food. It is a bit pricey for what you get but being in Hawaii it is definitely worth it. It’s more of a food court environment with very little condiments and cleanings environment. Take your water as well as some wipes to wipe down your tables. The bathroom near by was not open when we went for an early dinner."

"We took a quick dinner stop at this place in the food court when his store was gonna close in about 10 mins; he looked really tired and was sweating a lot and told us it’ll be a to-go order. We appreciate that he still nicely served that on a plate. The dosa wasn’t oily/ greasy, so it felt was healthy as well. I am deducting one star because it was pretty expensive for a dosa. Otherwise, everything else was great and I would really recommend this food joint! There are a few parking spots available on the backside of the food court. And nothing great in the ambiance, shared space with tables for multiple food joints in a food court."

"Ordered online while they were technically closed for a catering event. The chef was gracious enough to fulfill our order anyway. Ordered masala dosa, chili cheese uthappam, and mango lassi. All were delicious and the chef was so friendly and accommodating. Definitely will dine here every time I visit the island."

"On our drive around big island we found this sign of indian restaurant, that too indian vegetarian, we were all in to try that out. This is inside a food mall that contains more than 4 restaurant stalls. The seating arrangement is common and have restrooms as well. They had a very simple menu and easy to order. We tried 2 ghee dosas, vegetable biryani and curd rice. The prices are higher for the size of the dosas but its Hawaii expected it to be higher. I have seen lot of people trying the dosas and they got attention. Coming to the taste of the food easily 5 star rating ans veg biryani is unique taste. The sambar and chutney was well made. Curd rice was the best of all. Overall try this place and you will like it."
