Pongal Kosher South Indian Vegetarian Restaurant

Avoid the tourists at Saravana, this is a solid South Indian go-to. Chefs lunch special gets you dosa , idli, and vada for $10, and the food is on point for this South Indian boy

Whenever I’m bored of my own cooking and I crave for really good dosa or great thali then I go here.. Don’t order wine from here as it is over priced. Instead get mango lassi which is delicious.

Each one of us tried their different thaaliS n all of them r AmazinG n all fresh! But I will say their staff is rude n not well trained . But I will return just coz the food is worth it.

It seemed like I asked my server for a free dinner when I tried to order iced tea . After his initial angry incredulity, everything went well . Great food for reasonable prices!

Dosas are great. Be aware they include the tip in the final bill and also print it again in the receipt. They’re also pushy for you to pay cash.

The lunch special is affordable and delicious. They can also make most of the food vegan or gluten free .

Favorite dosas in town ! The bhel puri and palak paneer are also great. Cap it all off with yummy gulab jamun and masala chai or Madras coffee .

Authentic South Indian Thalis . Madras coffee was amazing too.

Split the Pondicherry dosai and an order of onion pakora . A delicious meal for two that is very affordable .

The dosas are crisp, idli are delicate, vadai are doughy, and the chana chaat is tangy - South Indian food at its tastiest! This cuisine is perfect for a hot summer night.

Try the royal thali . Delicious! Friendly staff . Nice atmosphere. Recommended!

The best south Indian food in the NYC / JC area. The pongal reminded me of my days in Vellore.. and the chakara-pongal of murugan idli of Chennai

Best dosas on Lexington Avenue. Nice decor. Worth your money, by Manhattan standards

The palak paneer is some of the creamiest I've ever had, and with big chunks of spinach . The staff is really friendly , too.

We come every week because it is best. The best crispy dosas ! Read more

Try the palek paneer ! It's delicious. Be sure to also pair it with a mango lassi .

Lunch box to go 2 vegatable ,dal,rice and bread for 13$ between 12-3 weekdays

Delicious and a nyc cheap eat. Highly recommend this spot.

Asked for spiciest food possible and the food had no spice in it. Even the pani poori which had a chili next to it was not spicy . When we complained they gave us hot sauce . The food was not tasty.

Excellent dosas . Idli just like we remembered them from our travels. Eat lots!

Mysore Rava masala dosa is where it's at.

Good food, decent service. Try the rava dosa

We came for dosas - and they were pretty good.

Pondicherry masala dosa FTW.

Definite get the dosas .

Nice indian food , but unfriendly staff ! We were rushed out of the place

very rude service..they literary told us "its time for you to go" after our dinner . Not polite at all. Def try something else instead around the area b/c foood was OKAY.

they claim their credit card machine is broken and request cash. seems suspect since they said the same thing more than a year ago.

I love the Mysore Masala dosai !

dosa ! dosa !

Excellent Sth. Indian food - recommended!

Ask for cauliflower dosa I feel the place is not great

Service here needed improvement but the food is to die for

Dosa !!! <3

The best south Indian food I've eaten in NYC

HORRIBLE SERVICE!! If you haven't ordered, get up and leave. The most rude service I have received in 1,000+ restaurant visits. Manager was condescending and dismissive.

My favorite Indian in NYC.

Get the Mumbai lunch

Mysore special here is amazing

paper dosa !

Service is absolutely terrible!
