Dabba

Tucked down Commonhall Street, Dabba is one of those places that feels like a proper find — a small, independent spot serving South Indian comfort food with real personality. It’s built around sharing, storytelling, and bold flavours, with dishes designed to be mixed, matched, and explored rather than ordered and forgotten.

Expect things like dosas, dals, chutneys, and vibrant thalis — all packed with spice, depth, and that “this is a bit different” energy that makes it stand out from your usual city-centre options. The atmosphere matches it too: relaxed, colourful, and just the right side of lively without tipping into chaos.

It’s the kind of place where you take your time, share plates, and end up talking about the food as much as eating it. A proper experience rather than just a meal.

And for dog owners, it’s an easy yes — and a strong one. Dogs aren’t just allowed, they’re actively welcomed, with water, treats, and even a doggy menu available.
