Dosa Place is located in North Phoenix on West Bell Road in an older strip mall in the spot where at least three previous Indian Restaurants once where (Pastries and Chaat, Dosa Grill, Just Biryani). This restaurant specializes in serving dosas. Not entirely but the majority of the menu are dosas. They offer around THIRTYFIVE savory or sweet dosas. Incase you don’t know the dosa is a South Indian Crepe made from a batter of fermented rice and lentils. Dosas are served with chutney and sambar (a vegetable soup laced with curry and a little heat). Besides dosas Dosa Place also offers vegetarian and non-vegetarian appetizers, vegetarian and non-vegetarian entrees, biryanis, fried rice dishes, noodle dishes, naan pizzas, and of course DOSAS and more! At the time of my visit Dosa Place is without a sign.
It looks exactly the same inside as it did as the last two restaurants.
We ordered up a storm and tried a variety of dishes.
We started with the chicken 65 appetizer.
The chicken is tender and is coated with some spices and a little heat……..It taste like an Americanized version of this dish.. Not too spicy and not the most complex but better than from some places.
Then everything else comes out.
Lets start with the dosa masala.
I ordered the beetroot dosa masala but they were out of beets today so I got the regular masala dosa. It’s a large paper thin crepe stuffed with a small amount of seasoned potato in the center. The sambar a tomato-lentil vegetable soup laced with curry and a little heat was very good that was on the side. It also came with tomato chutney and a green chutney.
We also tried tomato-onion uthappam.
This is also a dosa. It’s a light rice and lentil sort of batter embedded with vegetables and a few herbs and is very tasty. It has a unique light texture and almost seems like it might have been steamed.
For our main we shared the chicken chettinadu.
It’s wildly fragrant with a little heat and very tender moist chicken. It might contain coriander, cardamon, chili, cloves, cinnamon, garlic, tomato, turmeric, ginger, onion and more.
Dosa Place – Newly Opened – Lots of dosas – Give them a try!
