Paper Dosa operates as an a la carte restaurant on West Cordova Road in Downtown Santa Fe, centered on South Indian dosas made from a fermented rice and lentil batter. The signature Paper Dosa is a large, paper-thin crispy version served with masala on the side; other options include a Classic Masala, White Truffle Masala, Paneer and Peas, and a Lamb Keema dosa. Starters run from Curry Leaf Corn Soup and Kollu Rasam to Dahi Vada, with local peaches and natural chicken breast worked into the menu.
The dining room seats guests in plush orange booths beneath a hanging floral arrangement. Dosas arrive crisp and golden, and the chutneys and sambar that accompany them are treated with the same care as the main dishes.
Paper Dosa was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026 and has appeared on best-of lists from both Santa Fe Reporter and Edible New Mexico. Regulars point to its authenticity, value, and service as reasons it's become a neighborhood fixture, though accounts of the kitchen's consistency vary, with some visits marked by order or communication hiccups.
