So excited this is finally in the city! A more comfortable, sit-down version of its cousin Xi'an at the same prices. If you like spice, go for the "more spicy."
The basement canteen at this temple makes New York's best dosas and some excellent homestyle south Indian food. All vegetarian, all very cheap.

South Indian restaurant specializing in regional dishes of chaat and dosa. Generous portions for small prices.
Top-notch Greek bakery with great phyllo pastries. A must-order: galaktoboureko, semolina custard-filled pastry topped with syrup.
Tiny basement cafeteria serving homey potato dumplings, borscht, stuffed cabbage, and the like at dirt-cheap prices. Open Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. only.
