Margot MazurMay 7, 2015One of my favorite Indian places in NYC. All vegetarian, and super flavorful. If you want it spicy, look for the pepper or ask them to turn it up—default here is very mild.
HeenaMarch 1, 2015Best place where I can get dosa and hubs non dosa.gun powder dosa amazing chole bhature too. Service depending on waiter is hit or miss
Really tasty vegetarian Indian food. Get a giant dosa and have fun figuring out how to eat it!
Ankit KOctober 20, 2016The best south Indian food. It easily beats a lot of places in India as well. A must visit for food lovers.
muni vJanuary 6, 2016Go with Dosas (and in general err towards South Indian food). Dosas they make are great
EchoDAApril 2, 2012this is one of the best Kosher / lite South Indian food places.. you will leave here happy, easy to eat and the Samber is brilliant.
Try the Sukhi Bhaji - My favorite Indian dish! Even better cold... Leave it in the fridge a few days, then WOW! #vegan
Aggie YuApril 24, 2012All-you-can-eat lunch special including choice of curry, rice, salad, and sweets (!) - for less than $10. (only weekdays)

Daniel M.July 12, 2010This place is great! I've ordered take-out and then jumped on the subway because I don't have an Indian joint even half as good near where I live.
praveena rkDecember 3, 2011Had dosa here ... Likes the Mysore sada dosa... Try it if you are a fan of thin crunchy dosa :)- Try the Assorted Tiffin Platter - Pakora, Samosa, & Batata Vada were amazing!
The idli in rasam bowl...divine. And so is the onion rava masala. Just order one of everything on the menu :)

Village VoiceDecember 20, 2010This Choice Eats attendee in 2010 brought Dhokla, Briyani, Alv Tikki, and Raith!- Chintan ShahDecember 21, 2018Lately the mgmt. has been terrible. one weekday lunch my mom got a piece of hair which clearly wasn’t mine or hers but the manager tried to act dumb. They charged us for the whole meal, disgusting
Костя ТарасовFebruary 5, 2013Stumbled upon this place, and there are no visible signs that it's vegetarian, which is a shame. You only realize it when you look at the menu. Left.

"Great spot for spice shopping, dried pulses and nuts. A surprising selection of bitters. The upstairs is a great lunch spot. The mujadara salad sandwich is fantastic."

"Best Park to visit if you want to relax, but still be steps away from all of the action. Grab a park bench along the 26th street side of the park, and write a poem."
