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.

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.
