Chennai Dosas

Like its predecessor, Dosa Diner, the place serves a vegetarian South Indian menu with an emphasis on the stuffed lentil rice flour crepe known as the dosa. A once-over of the menu reveals such dishes as iddly, or steamed rice flour lentil cakes, with sambar, a vegetable stew ($4.45); spinach masala dosa ($8.95), a dosa filled with spinach and potatoes, as well as a mixed vegetable uthappam ($8.95), a thick frittata-like version of the dosa studded with onions, tomatoes, peas and carrots. There’s also a roster of vegetarian North Indian dishes, among them alu Gobi ($8.95), potatoes and chick peas in a lightly spiced sauce.
