🧡 HOMEMADE THALI — A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING

Some days, you don’t want to choose just one dish… you want to explore flavours. 🌿

Our homemade Thali brings together 10+ little tastes on one plate — comforting curries, dal, rice, dosa, chutneys, fresh sides and little extras, all coming together as one colourful, nourishing meal.

🥛 Finished with traditional spiced buttermilk — light, refreshing and to support digestion and complete the Thali.

The best part? The plate keeps changing. Just like food at home, we cook with different vegetables, pulses, lentils, spices, seeds and seasonal ingredients, so there is always something new to discover.

It’s not about one dish being the star — it’s about enjoying a little of everything. ❤️

✨ 10+ items
🌱 Homemade & plant-focused
🥣 Different flavours and textures
🏡 Inspired by the way we love to eat at home
💛 Made for those who love to explore food

Come into Dosa Chaska, sit down, slow down and explore our Thali. You might be surprised by just how much our little street style café has to offer. 😊

❤️ DOSA CHASKA DIARY — Some love stories find you when you least expect them… ❤️

Today we met a beautiful couple whose little story stayed with us.

Once upon a time, back in the 1990s, a young woman from Blackpool had a dream of one day living in Cumbria.

Life carried on, years passed… and somehow that old dream found its way back to her — but perhaps not quite in the way she imagined.

She met a man from Cumbria, a man with a “true heart,” as she lovingly described him. ❤️

And today, here they are — together in Cumbria, happy, laughing and very much like two lovebirds.

They sat together, shared their meal and enjoyed every bite. One of the loveliest things they said was that this was the kind of food they could happily eat every day🥰

But what we enjoyed just as much was listening to them.

Their warmth. Their little stories. The way they spoke about each other.

It reminded us that love really doesn’t have an age or a timetable. Sometimes it simply happens when two hearts find each other.

And perhaps Chaska is a little like that too. 😊

You walk through our door expecting a meal…
and before you know it, you’ve fallen a little bit in love with Dosa Chaska. 💛

Some fall in love with a person.
Some fall in love with a place.
Some fall in love with a flavour.

And the lucky ones find all three. ❤️

Thank you to this lovely couple for sharing not only a meal with us, but a little piece of their story too.

Because behind our café doors, we don’t just collect plates and orders — we collect beautiful little human stories.

Another one for the Dosa Chaska Diary. 🌿✨

Thank you Taste Cumbria for inviting Dosa Chaska and for bringing together such a wonderful mix of people, food and creativity. ❤️

✨ A few glimpses from a beautiful Taste Cumbria day… ✨

Sharing some little moments from our Dosa Chaska journey at Taste Cumbria day, Cockermouth. 💛

As always, there was inspiration around every corner — every stall, every creation, every flavour, every conversation and every person sharing something they love — people connecting with people through their creations. Thank you, Taste Cumbria Taste Cumbria Cockermouth, for being that wonderful channel, bringing creators and communities together. ❤️

A special highlight was our Mini Dosa Pancake demo — thank you to everyone who joined in so enthusiastically and created their own colourful mini dosa twists! You brought our idea of colours, flavours, creativity and Chaska to life so beautifully. Please do share your experience with us and tag DosaChaska 💛

See you once again tomorrow! ✨

🍽 Meet our Taste Cumbria Cockermouth experts #8 🍽

WHO: Shubha Sachin – co-owner of DosaChaska, Cockermouth’s authentic South Indian cookery cafe
WHEN: 3pm, Saturday 26 September
WHERE: The Demo Stage, Main Street

Naturally fermented, zero processed, real food, fast, gluten-free by default, 100% vegetarian, made fresh in Cumbria - that's the promise from Shubha and the team at Dosa Chaska.

Never had a dosa? You really have to try it - and you can do that at their Main Street shop, all this weekend. They're not a takeaway trying to be healthy. They're a kitchen built around real, whole ingredients — rice, lentils, whole spices, and thousands of years of Ayurvedic wisdom.

"Our Dosa batter is naturally fermented for 8-12 hours, like sourdough but better," Shuba says. "Our curries are slow-cooked in small batches. Everything is gluten-free by default because we use rice instead of wheat or highly processed white flour. This is how food should taste."

And Shuba says there is more to the Dosa Chaska experience than just fabulous food: "Our mission goes beyond serving healthy, plant-based meals. We are actively engaged in creating health and wellbeing workshops that educate and empower communities to live healthier lives."

🍛 SMALL CAFÉ. ENDLESS FLAVOURS. 💛

Dosa may be in our name, but there’s so much more to explore at Dosa Chaska! 🌿

One of the next most-loved things on our menu is our Rice Bowls with Homemade Curries. 🍚🥘

Just like the way we eat at home, we don’t want the same curry every single week. Our food changes with our mood, the season, what we feel like cooking and sometimes even a little celebration! ❤️

So every week, you can discover different homemade curries and different flavours — giving you something new to come back and try.

✨ Rice Bowls & Curries
Available for both dine-in and takeaway.

And if you’re someone who loves trying a little bit of everything, our Mini Thali is for you. 😍

A colourful plate with more than 10 little items — from starters and mains to accompaniments and dessert — bringing together different tastes, textures and flavours in one meal.

🍽️ Mini Thali is available for dine-in only — because some experiences are best enjoyed sitting down and taking your time.

Whether you’re enjoying a freshly prepared meal in our café, picking up a takeaway, or taking home one of our frozen curries…

The flavours never miss out. 🌶️🌿💛

So please come in and explore Dosa Chaska.

We may look like a little café from the outside, but step inside and you’ll discover…

A small café with endless possibilities of flavours. ✨

Come curious.
Come hungry.
And discover something different each time. 💛
