Inspection summary
Dosa Crepe Cafe has been inspected 6 times by Interior Health Authority since July 4, 2019. The most recent inspection, on July 1, 2026, found no infractions.
2 of 6 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 0 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Handwashing and staff hygiene, Food temperature control and Protecting food from contamination.
The last 2 inspections in a row found no infractions. Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.
What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk
Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.
Recorded 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on July 1, 2024. For example:
7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 1, 2023. For example:
3 Are proper cooling and reheating procedures followed?
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded once on July 1, 2022. For example:
7 Are foods protected from contamination?
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.
Recorded 4 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 1, 2024. For example:
1 Does the operator have a valid operating permit or approval to operate?
Food safety training and certificationLower risk
Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 1, 2024. For example:
5 Are the FOODSAFE training requirements being met?

Had a really great experience at Dosa Crepe Cafe. The dosa was fresh, crispy, and full of flavor — definitely one of the best I’ve had. The portions were good, service was friendly, and everything tasted authentic. Its been 3 years since I havent been home. It tasted exactly like home. even better. Highly recommend if you’re craving for south indian food.

The dosas and all the accompaniments were really tasty. The vadas tasted like they were precooked and microwaved before serving. They were hard and flavorless. Nowhere close to what vads should taste like, light and fluffy. The kothu was the worst. Again no where close to what it should be. It was a soggy mess with absolutely no flavour. Very disappointing. Service was so so.
