South Indian Food FAQ
Where can I get authentic South Indian food in Denver or Arvada?
SPICE ROOM Old Town Arvada at 7355 Ralston Rd is the only SPICE ROOM location with a dedicated South Indian menu — Masala Dosa, Mysore Masala Dosa, Ghee Dosa, Plain Dosa, Idli, and Medu Vada — served with house-made sambar and coconut chutney. We're the go-to South Indian restaurant for Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Westminster, and northwest Denver.
What South Indian dishes do you serve?
Our Arvada-only South Indian menu includes Masala Dosa, Mysore Masala Dosa, Ghee Dosa, Plain Dosa, Idli, and Medu Vada — all served with traditional sambar and coconut chutney made fresh daily.
Is the dosa menu available at all SPICE ROOM locations?
No. The South Indian dosa, idli, and medu vada menu is exclusive to our Old Town Arvada location at 7355 Ralston Rd. Our Highlands and Bluebird District locations focus on North Indian and Himalayan cuisine.
Are your dosas vegan or gluten-free?
Plain Dosa, Idli, and Medu Vada are naturally vegan. Plain Dosa, Idli, and Ghee Dosa (skip the ghee) are gluten-free since they are made from fermented rice and urad dal — no wheat. Ask your server for fully ghee-free preparations.
What is the difference between Masala Dosa and Mysore Masala Dosa?
Masala Dosa is filled with spiced potato masala. Mysore Masala Dosa adds a layer of spicy red Mysore chutney brushed inside the crepe before adding the potato — it is the spicier Karnataka-style variation.
What is sambar?
Sambar is a tangy South Indian lentil and tamarind soup with vegetables, served alongside dosa, idli, and medu vada. We make ours fresh daily with curry leaves, mustard seeds, and a house spice blend.
Is South Indian food spicy?
South Indian food is generally medium-spicy with bright tangy and savory flavors from tamarind, curry leaves, and coconut. Our dosas average a 2/5 on the spice scale; Mysore Masala Dosa is 3/5. We can adjust to your preference.
