Chutneys at 149 Stoddard Road in Mount Roskill is a South Indian restaurant that began in 1985, according to its website. The menu is built around dosas, with plain, masala, ghee roast, Mysore masala, Nellore karam and rava versions, plus chilli paneer and onion dosas. Idlis, medu vadas, poori, bonda and paneer pakora are on the list too, alongside curries, tandoor dishes and biryanis. Dosa batter is stone-ground and naturally fermented for 24 hours, and the dosas are cooked on thick cast-iron griddles.
The restaurant also caters for birthdays, housewarmings and corporate events, with buffet setups and a live dosa counter on request. The website says groups of 100 or more get a free live dosa station or 10% off the total bill. We hear the restaurant runs an unlimited dishes feast from 5pm for $24.99 as at 2026, with a live counter on some nights, and that it serves hot idlis, crispy vadas and filter coffee from the morning. Our pick in Mount Roskill for a dosa dinner with a live counter.
