A great dosa is all about the moment it hits the plate — that thin, crackling, golden crêpe of fermented rice and lentil batter, crisp at the edges and soft where it wraps around spiced potato. At Indian Brothers we cook every dosa in Cairns to order on a screaming-hot griddle, so it reaches you fresh, light and shatteringly crisp.
Masala Dosa — folded over a lightly spiced potato masala, our most popular. Plain & Ghee Dosa — for the purists, with extra crunch. Every dosa comes with a bowl of sambar and fresh coconut and mint chutneys for dipping.
Idli — soft, steamed rice cakes, light as a cloud and perfect for soaking up sambar. Medu Vada — savoury lentil doughnuts, crisp outside and fluffy within. Sambar — a tangy, comforting lentil and vegetable stew simmered with tamarind and South Indian spices. Together with dosa, they make the classic South Indian tiffin plate — wholesome, vegetarian and full of flavour.
Whether it's a light breakfast, a midday snack or a full vegetarian feast, this is South Indian comfort food done right in Cairns.
Dosa, idli and vada are naturally vegetarian and largely plant-based, made from just rice and lentils. They're light, protein-rich and endlessly moreish — and many can be prepared vegan on request. It's the kind of food you feel good eating.
