Tucked in on Wharf (with another spot on Yates), Dosa Paragon nails South Indian comfort food with crispy, perfectly fermented dosas, tangy coconut and tomato chutneys, and hearty sambhar . The signature dishes—like the Butter Chicken Masala Dosa and Mysore Masala Dosa—burst with authentic, bold flavours you won’t easily find elsewhere on Vancouver Island . Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options make it inclusive and appealing to many dietary preferences. Many guests rave about crisp dosas and excellent chutneys: “Bomb.com for dosa lovers!” . One Redditor even called it “the only proper South Indian restaurant on the island” , and another praised the Butter Chicken Dosa as “fantastic!” . Service and atmosphere can vary—some mention occasional slowdowns at peak times or small portion sizes for chutney —but most reviews highlight friendly staff and a cozy setup. Highlights • Exceptional, large, crispy dosas with vibrant fillings • Delicious chutneys & hearty sambar • Inclusive menu: vegan/gluten‑free friendly • Filter coffee and mango lassi round out the meal nicely Tips • Go during off-peak hours to avoid waits • Parking can be tricky near Yates—Wharf location offers easier access Bottom line: Authentic South Indian cuisine with bold flavours, a welcoming vibe, and a menu that satisfies vegans and gluten‑free diners alike. A must-visit for dosa lovers in Victoria!

We ordered for delivery. We needed pizza for kids, teens, adults and gluten free options. All the pizzas were so good. Very tasty. We highly recommend.

Update : **** the MISSI Roti is NOT Gluten Free or there is high risk of cross contamination*** had severe GI episode this morning after my order yesterday. Their food is very good, it was my fault to order any Roti should have stuck with Rice. I ordered a chicken curry and Malai kofta today. It was fantastic. Probably the best Indian food I have had in Victoria in a long time.

Really yummy authentic food. Wonderful choices for Gluten Free dishes. Great service.

Simply the best veggie pakoras anywhere. I would pay any price for these crispy gluten-free pieces of perfection but the prices are actually so reasonable! Try the masala cauliflower too.

Linda Marie

I did take-out but the restaurant was so nice inside! I love the food there. Most of the options are gluten free!

Superb South Indian food! Chicken, fish yum. I think that just about everything was gluten free. Unbelievable quality for market food.

My bestie and I dined at Varsha for the first time on Saturday. From the moment we walked through the door, I knew it would be a great experience. First of all, the seating is amazing. From someone who struggles with comfort in restaurants, I could see that every seat looked comfortable and the layout was excellent. The person who greeted, seated and served us was lovely, she was so friendly and helpful and ensured our experience was a wonderful one! We share Chicken Pakoras and Palak Paneer...both were divine! We found the menu options to be excellent for my gluten free needs due to a wheat allergy. And the prices are fantastic! I definitely look forward to returning more frequently! **I've just read through some of the negative reviews and I'm actually shocked. Our service was amazing, fast and friendly. The food was fantastic. And I see someone complaining that their butter chicken poutine came on a bed of fries....ummm what did you think you were ordering?! Anyway, I kind of think some of the negative reviews are bogus, but I guess everyone has different experiences. I have quite high standards/expectations, and they were met fully!

I was expecting medium to low-grade of Indian food, but I was actually proven wrong. This place has a really good flavor full options, which I was amazed. I really like their chaste specially Samosa chaat and aloo naan. there are a lot of gluten-free options available as well so in that sense it’s pretty good. I recommend trying to appetizer option pretty large portion of food replacement item.

It’s such a nice experience coming here - great food, fast service, and you can really tell the staff cares about delivering a great product to your table. We go regularly and it’s a very reproducible experience. Coconut chicken and various food from their tandoor are some of our favourites. It’s also very helpful for those with dietary issues - for us gluten free is important.
