Eater

The place is vegetarian and mainly South Indian and Sri Lankan, and you will find a warm welcome there. From a list of 25 dosas , we ordered a butter dosa and a Hyderabadi dosa . Both were delicious! Read more

Emily Wilson

Super delicious dosas served in a canteen below a Hindu temple . A hidden gem . Definitely try the spicy paneer and get a mango lassi to go with it.

Eater

Here find one of the city ’s best vegetarian menus, with the dosas , idlis, and utapams of Southern India as its bedrock. [Robert Sietsema] Read more

Leemor Yuravlivker

Allll the dosas . Great chili paneer masala paneer . For something lighter do a paper dosa . Don’t forget mango lassi .

Serious Eats

The basement canteen at this temple makes New York's best dosas and some excellent homestyle south Indian food . All vegetarian , all very cheap .

Satish

+Quality South Indian Dosa 's and Idli's at very low price! Tamarind rice is also very good! - It is very crowded on weekends so visit during weekdays!

Dan Money

fantastic lunch spot . dosas are all great, but especially recommend the ven pongal

New York Post

The masala dosa , with its spiced-potato filling, reigns here, but any of the 22 varieties are worth trying, including the Pondicherry, and the onion and chilies-embedded Rava dosa . Read more

AmateurConcierge

While the South Indian food on offer is tasty and inexpensive , it’s nothing great the way the food writers make it out to be. Mostly limited to variations on basic dosa offerings

Deepak Jadhav

A good place to have lite snacks while visiting the Ganesha temple . The service could be a little fast. Tried the dosa here and was not disappointed!

Jorge Ortiz

Dosas in the basement of a Hindu temple . Get something starchy, something spicy , and something sweet (mango kulfi !). Pass a serene moment in the temple upstairs afterwards.

Mitra Salasel

Seriously the definition of "hidden gem ." Try the Hyderabadi Dosa and get extra chutney to cool your tongue down from the wonderfully nuanced heat factor

Ashok Gunasekaran

South Indian Food Heaven just below a temple , every dish is delicious, must go for vegetarians . Tons of options at low cost.

Josica 🦔

Best Mango Lassi I've ever had and it's only a dollar :)

Swift Swift

Dosas are the thing to get here. Don't get the onion special though, it's basically a whole onion wrapped in dosa . Feels very authentic .

Ezra Pollard

Friendly , unique and delicious w/ must eat dosa . (Tucked away in the basement of a temple )

Claudia Filth

It's very easy to stuff your face to oblivion here. Paneer dosas for the win.

Sree Raman

Try the paneer dosa , with chunks of paneer folded into spicy mashed potato , and the ghee roast,

nova naomi

Secret indian restaurant located in the basement of the temple

Juston Payne

The Masala Dosa is great and everything, but the Pondicherry Dosa is where it's at. Get a masala tea , too.

Bill B.

A place you'll find some very tasty, relentlessly, authentic Indian food . The Dosa filled with any number of spicy fillings called masalas is delicious.

Grace Zhang

Homemade Indian food , what more can you ask for? Try the paper dosa .

jose lopez

Just eat here! Do it! It will change your conception of what good food is!

Chinmay Rane

The food. Everything.

Rajesh Shah

Everything is south Indian . Great light food.

Village Voice

Large portion sizes are normal here, proven by their massive lentil batter dosas .

Amanda Theiler

yogurt rice $2, butter masala dosa $5, Pondicherry Dosa $5.50 (very spicy !)
