Simply South Scarborough

Masala Dosa

Thin, lacey rice-lentil crepe wrapped around a spiced potato filling — properly crisped at the edges with sambar and coconut chutney on the side

Ghee Roast Dosa

A more indulgent variation — the crepe gets a generous ghee baste and roasted until it shatters, with an almost nutty caramelized finish

Idli Sambar

Steamed rice cakes — light, slightly sour, and perfectly textured — served with a richly spiced sambar and fresh coconut chutney

Medu Vada

Crispy lentil fritters with a soft, airy interior — the South Indian equivalent of a savory donut, best dunked straight into sambar

Kothu Parotta

Shredded flaky flatbread stir-fried on a griddle with egg, onion, and a bold spiced gravy — a Tamil street-food staple that rewards the kitchen's confidence with chili heat

Chicken Biryani

Long-grain basmati steamed with whole spices and tender chicken — served with raita and a salan on the side, fragrant and properly layered

Parotta with Kurma

Flaky, multi-layered flatbread served alongside a mild, coconut-enriched vegetable or chicken kurma — a South Indian comfort classic

Vegetable Thali

A full rice plate spread — dal, sambar, rasam, two or three curries, pickles, papad, and a dessert — the clearest way to understand the kitchen's range in a single sitting

Filter Coffee

South Indian-style decoction coffee served frothy in a tumbler-and-davara set — strong, sweet, and the proper close to any meal here
