One of the best temple canteens out there. The temple is so peaceful and canteen has tasty food that’s bang for the buck. I love coming here. Reminds me of home.

I was there on a Sunday afternoon and it was surprisingly not very busy. The dining area is cafeteria style and there was plenty of seating available. I decided to go with the paneer butter Masala dosa since they only have it available on the weekends. I asked them to make it as mild as possible since South Indian food tends to be very spicy and I cannot handle the heat. The dosa was paper thin which is exactly what I wanted. The filling was delicious and I loved the coconut chutney sauce that came with it. I got the mango lassi drink and it was refreshing and delicious, just wish the drink portions were bigger. The food was very authentic South Indian and it tasted just like what I remember eating when I went to Kerala. This place is out of the way for me but I would definitely return if I'm in the area.

1. We went to the Ganesha Temple Canteen last week and were greatly disappointed by the lack of hygiene and shoddy service. We placed an order for Dosa, whilst waiting a customer returned his order of dosa. The kitchen staff instead of discarding it, re- served it to us, When we complained that he should prepare a fresh dosa he just changed the plates, reheated it, poured the sambhar back into the common pot and put it in another container. It was absolutely disgraceful. Nothing we ordered was authentic south Indian as advertised, ingredients were missing, very badly prepared, no seasoning. The staff was completely unconcerned about hygiene, the food was clearly touched and perhaps tasted but they just re-served it to us.

2. The food is labeled as authentic but there was nothing authentic about it. The idli was hard and the coconut in the chutney was stale.

3. The bathrooms were filthy and there was toilet paper strewn on the floor with feces on it. There was hardly any toilet paper or clean wipes after washing hands.

A very disappointing and awful experience. Really surprising for a Temple canteen

We walked for 30 minutes to get here as we were visiting Flushing, but it was worth it. Food was really awesome and the service was also really nice.

The Temple & the Canteen are real gems!
Pretty good dosas and quite a variety of choice to order from. We had the Masala Dosa and the Pondicherry Masala Dosa.
