Paper Dosa

Sweet Spot Find: We had heard many good things about this place so we were finally happy to have the opportunity this past weekend to dine there. It did not disappoint! Since this place does not take reservations, we arrived around 5:10pm on a Sunday (opens at 5:00pm) and the place was almost full...fortunately, there was a table available so we were seated immediately. We all decided on the Tasting Menu which consisted of 3 courses (dessert is not a course). For starters we ordered the Asian Pear Salad, Chile & Onion Pakora, and Chennai Chicken. The salad was above average because of the interesting combo of ingredients, the chicken was like eating chicken nuggets, and the pakora had onions which were like fried scraps (I recommend onion rings instead of small pieces of onions, rings woul

I’d drive 6 hours to Santa Fe just to eat at Paper Dosa again… the tasting menu was filling and excellent. The asian pear salad and chicken curry were delish

I had high expectations for the food because of all the other great reviews, and it did not disappoint. Indian in general is one of my favorite cuisines and I get it somewhat frequently and Paper Dosa instantly became one of the best places Ive gone too. It’s nice to see an Indian restaurant with a more focused menu (South Indian in this case) as opposed to the typical all the curries you see elsewhere. I really enjoyed the lamb keema dosa and the Madurai chicken curry.

We were surprised to find such authentic taste in Santa Fe. The idli fry was crunchy and the chutney it came with was fire! The dosa was crunchy and tasted very flavorful. The bhel puri was the real show stopper. One of the most amazing bhel puri I have had in USA. Had pieces of raw mango that made it very authentic and refreshing!

If you want to try South Indian dosas this is a must try in New Mexico. Dosa is generally a breakfast/dinner dish that is typically eaten every other day and tasting it as a South Indian especially as someone from chennai this hit a home run!!!! Paper Dosa, Masala dosa and ghee prawn are a must try!! Even the mango lassi was perfect, not too sweet and well flavoured and omg the gulab jamun was perfect, it was perfectly warm and sweet!!! Thank you Paper dosa for the amazing food, you made my day for sure!
