Dosa, the folded crepelike street snack of Southern India, and its cousins, open-face uttapam (we like the paneer and peas one best), idli (lentil patties), and vada (lentil dumplings), are given pride on place in this chic and modern setting, which offers a dozen different varieties of its namesake dish.
