******UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS****Dosa Grill Indian Vegetarian Restaurant recently opened in North Phoenix AZ. Obviously they specialize in serving Dosa in many varieties. The Dosa is a South Indian crepe made from fermented rice and lentils. Dosa gets served with Chutney and Sambar (lentil stew…..a vegetable soup).
The interior is neat, clean and modern.
The menu is very long. Many appetizers, Dosas, Uthappams (thick pancakes made from dosa batter), vegetable curries, rice dishes, Thali Specials and desserts.
We receive bottled water our order was taken and in reasonable time our appetizer of Jalapeños coated in chickpea flour (Cut Mirchi) arrives.
These Jalapeños are very mild like bell peppers today…The coating is crisp and seems oil free. I’m not familiar with this particular creamy chutney. It’s very creamy and like thick hummus.
Next we share a specialty of the house…..The Special Grill Rava Dosa.
The Dosa is the laciest dosa I’ve ever had. It’s whisper thin, nicely browned and very crisp. It’s filled with onion and a small amount of mashed potatoes. This dosa is suppose to contain chili and spicy gunpowder but very little was used because we didn’t taste chili or gunpowder but it was mildly tasty anyway. Chutneys are also very mild today…..The round ramekin with sambar (vegetable soup) had the most flavor here.
We shared the Weekend Special Combo Thali.
Here was Loli (pancake), Vada (lentil doughnut), Masala Dosa (potato filled crepe), Pongal vegetable Uthappam (Indian Pizza Dosa), chutney, sambar, dessert.
Everything tasted fresh made. Nothing was strongly seasoned. Everything was mild – tasty.
If your in the mood for Vegetarian Indian Dosa that’s prepared hot and fresh and served with very mild chutneys…. then The Dosa Grill might fit your appetite.
Service today was minimal. Our order was taken and we were given bottled water. Kitchen staff ran the food to us. We weren’t asked how things were and we had to walk up to the desk to pay.
That was my trip to the Dosa Grill in Phoenix.
