N.Y. Dosas

The dosas are served with chutney and samba , an Indian vegetable stew ; Kumar will make them hot or mild to taste, so you don't have to avoid the cart if you're sensitive to spice. Read more

Filling + cheap $5 lunch in the village . Masala Dosa w/ coconut chutney and a side dish (hot soup when I went!). Eat in WashSqrPark + watch seasoned chess players hustle oncoming tourists . Bliss.

The Special Pondicherry Dosa and a Samosa is a good place to start, though you should try it all. Just be prepared to wait on line . It is a good idea to go a little ahead or after the main lunch rush.

Best dosas and friendliest service in New York. Check twitter to make sure he's in the park before heading over.

I'd pick Jaffna lunch over the Pondicherry dosa -- it comes with four large, spongy rice/lentil pancakes topped with raw veggies , coconut chutney , and sambar stew . Also, the samosas are where it's at!

Really good crepes made from rice and lentil . I got the special Pondicherry for $9 filled with veggies and potatoes

Known simply as The Dosa Cart. Thiru who prepares the food is just wonderful, serving up each meal with a smile. Get the masala dosa with coconut chutney and devour it on a bench in Washington Square.

At least an hour wait in line but the dosa is definitely worth the wait. Grab a samosa as well !

The Pondicherry dosa might be my favorite NY street cart food. You don't need to wait in line to get samosas , though, so do that if the line 's too long.

Amazing dosas . Check twitter to see if he's there on any given day https://twitter.com/nydosas

Perfect for a healthy lunch , just make sure to get there before 4pm and brave the line , its worth it! Special Pondicherry is my go-to dish.

Pondicherry special is a must in addition to everything else on his menu

The Jaffna Dosa platter ($6) consists of four soft and spongy dosas , covered in a spicy dried coconut chutney . They're served with a cup of sambar and your choice of appetizer . Read more

Unassuming cart outside Washington square park . Jaffna dosa and Uttapam were amazingly well spiced. Masala dosa lacked foavor. Chutneys gd.Try the local ginger ale-awesome. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Got #3 pondicherry and made it spicy . The result?? Love ittttt especially when its only $6!

Lines can get long at this dosa and samosa cart off Washington Square Park , but they're worth it.

The coolest food vendor on NYC's streets. The man has game and crazy savoir-faire.

This entirely vegan cart is beloved by all in the Village . Try the vegan drumsticks or the uthappam, a pizza-like offering.

Skip the line , get a Samosa . One and you're full

Very friendly person .. dosa are yum and affordable too..

Don't let the line intimidate you -- the delicious (and filling) appetizers are ready to eat from the front window!

Pondicherry dosa . Short lines in winter

Ask for kothu roti and he'll make it for you!

Legendary Vegan dosa food cart. Look for the line . Well worth the wait. Don't forget to tip, doesn't get better than this.

No meal leaves me feeling more satisfied than a meal from Thiru 's cart.

Lived up to the hype! I'll be back…

it’s all authentic south indian . i should know!

Featured in Lonely Planet's 1000 Ultimate Experiences.

Get it "Indian spicy "

Far and away best streetfood in NYU/WVillage vicinity, never mind that it's vegan . And the operator, Thiru , is kind & chatty.

With food this good, I'd happily turn vegan . A must go whenever I'm at WSP

Thiru won the citywide Vendy Cup in 2007 for his dosas !
