Dosa Description:
An exclusively Southern Indian restaurant, Dosa offers a casual dining experience that feels entirely fresh. The pumpkin-colored room crackles with an animated crowd seated on pillow-strewn wooden benches or packed in at the bar, which is built for eating. Sashay into the extensive menu with the rasam fire broth, a bright tomato- and tamarind-based concoction that opens up the palate. Starters include a deconstructed onion pakora and a refreshing chickpea salad. Namesake dosas are large savory crêpes in a variety of guises, from crispy to spongy, with stuffings like a creamy aloo masala of potato, onion and cashew. Diners rip off sections of the dosa and dunk it into sambar, a traditional lentil dip with vegetables and spices, and then into one of the trio of chutneys. The menu is very vegetarian-friendly (entirely meatless at brunch), but the meat dishes offered---lamb curry, chennai chicken, calamari, and so forth---deserve special attention. Desserts include the rasmalai, a soothing dish of sweet cheese patties in cream and cardamom. Mango lassis here drink like creamsicles and are desserts in themselves. The well-chosen wines (some Indian) and beers partner nicely with the spice-laden menu, as do the refreshing cocktails made with Lillet, a French white wine apéritif.
