Earlier this week, we told you a bit about the soft-open Philadelphia Chutney Company (1628 Sansom St.), but now we have some more details about the operation. Taking over the space that was Remedy, PCC is an all-vegetarian operation owned by partners Nirav Mehta, an attorney and IT specialist by trade, and Baldev Singh, who owns Aman's in East Norriton and Aman's Bistro in Chalfont. The duo says the Chutney Company fills a void in quick-service Indian food in Philly; the South Indian-style menu features a big selection of dosas, which are basically paper-thin crepes, anywhere from 12 to 14 inches across, stuffed with fillings like seasonal grilled vegetables, cheese (paneer and otherwise), vegetarian chicken and veggie tuna. They also do uttapas, which rely on the same batter as dosas, but are griddled thicker, resembling more of a pancake. Elsewhere, there's wide of chutneys and condiments (that's the curry chutney above), and side snacks like medhu wada (fried lentil cakes); idli (steamed lentil cakes) and spiced potato samosas. Mehta says they'll start delivery service in about a month; for now, stop in Monday to Thursday between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. till late (maybe 2 a.m., depending on demand). They're closed Sundays. The Chutney Company's grand opening is set for this coming Wednesday, Sept. 22, when they'll offer 30 percent off the entire menu.
