Overdosa

Take 2 guys that love to travel, have passion for food and want to create an authentic Indian street food experience in Melbourne. The result is Overdosa.
For those not in the know dosas are very thin crepes traditionally filled with spiced potato. Overdosa’s menu is simple offering potato masala, spiced pumpkin or eggplant filling. Your dosa also comes with either a coconut or hot chilli chutney. You can also order poppers which are delicious fried lentil balls.
We had the potato masala and the poppers with coconut chutney. I’m no expert but my companion who is Indian rated them very highly. They are hot fast and delicious. He devoured the poppers so quickly I only managed a couple.
All the options here are vegan and although I am a sworn carnivore I can say that it was so tasty it didn’t matter.
The guys are super friendly and really keen to hear what you think of their food and have a chat. They will be at the Evelyn on Brunswick st over Anzac weekend and then they fly to India to spend a few months collecting recipes to expand their offerings and possibly open a restaurant.
If you are in the mood for Indian I highly recommend checking them out.

Take two well travelled best friends, add an ingenious idea, mix well, and you get Overdosa — a pop up dosa store that aims to take you on a trip to India via your tastebuds. Located on 50 Rose Street in Fitzroy, the store’s close proximity to the Rose Street Artist Market is a boon to it’s existence.
Sharing a space with Mottanai Vintage Cycle keeps things interesting. Perusing vintage bikes while waiting for your meal puts an ironic spin on things, given that many people in India ride old and rusty bikes too. The furniture is albeit low, but well put together. Old milk crates double up as tables while short stools dot the space in abundance.
My friend and I shared 2 Dosas, one filled with masala potatoes and the other filled with smokey eggplant. The crisp dough made of fermented rice and lentil batter had a hint of acidity to it. Also, there are lentil poppers which make for a good snack. That being said, the star of the show is the wide range of chutneys. I would recommend getting the hot chili one if you are not afraid of pain.
At this price point ($ 9), these guys are over-​providing. The treats are both vegan and gluten-​free too. What are you waiting for?
