About This Dish

Paper Dosa is the showstopper of the dosa world — the same fermented rice and urad-dal batter as a Plain Dosa, but spread impossibly thin and stretched extra long across the griddle until it turns crackling-crisp and pale gold from edge to edge.

At SPICE ROOM Olde Town Arvada, our chefs hand-spread each Paper Dosa to order so it arrives at the table at peak crunch. Served with sambar and coconut chutney, it's the lightest way to start a South Indian meal. Vegetarian, easily made vegan, and naturally gluten-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Paper Dosa different from Plain Dosa?

Paper Dosa uses the same batter but is spread thinner and longer on the griddle, giving it an even crispier, more delicate texture. It also looks dramatic when it arrives at the table.

Is Paper Dosa filling?

It looks large but is mostly air and crunch — most guests pair it with sambar, chutney, and a side of idli or vada to round out the meal.

Is Paper Dosa available in Highlands or Colfax?

No. The full Dosa & Idli menu is exclusive to SPICE ROOM Olde Town Arvada (7355 Ralston Rd) and is served daily after 12 PM.
