About Crispy Dosa

Crispy Dosa is a vegetarian restaurant brand established in 2006, specialising in authentic South Indian cuisine. Its menu and restaurant concept centre on vegetarian dining, and the business reports 19 restaurants in the UK and one in India. The UK locations named in the supplied profile span London and surrounding areas, the Midlands, South West England and Cardiff. The company is seeking franchise partners to develop additional restaurants and invites applicants to nominate their preferred investment city. It also reports plans for further expansion in India and potential entry into the US and Dubai; these should be treated as development ambitions rather than operating locations. Franchise support covers restaurant set-up, training, menu design, budgeting, recruitment, vendor management, central kitchen assistance, quality control and operational audits. Managing director Jayakumar Madanagopal is the listed contact.
