Nirav Mehta and Baldev Singh, owners of vivacious Indian quick-serve Philadelphia Chutney Company (1628 Sansom St.), aren't wasting time. In an interview yesterday for our upcoming review, Mehta mentioned he and his fellow dosa doctah are in the throes of construction on a Temple location, with outposts at UPenn and University of Delaware in negotiations. (Yale and Rutgers have also been floated.) "Our focus is urban areas and universities," Mehta said. "We already get so many students who come over from University City and West Philly." The push toward college campuses (campii?) is a natural for Chutney, a business whose model is built on being as fast and cheap as a Tri-Delt. The Temple location is slated for spring; in the meantime, acclimate yourself with their American fusion of South Indian dosas and uttapas but don't miss the buttermilk mango lassi, perhaps the best in town.

I'm now a reg and can attest to the awesomeness of their dosas, roti wraps, and that awesome mango lassi, so congrats to them!
