I stopped by the Hindu Temple Canteen after visiting the temple and the place delivers exactly what people say about it. The food is simple, fresh and made with the kind of consistency you only get in a temple kitchen.

I tried two plates because I was there with a friend. The pongal was warm, comforting and properly seasoned. The curd vada had a light, balanced taste and felt refreshing. The mixture on the side added a nice crunch. The dosa was crisp, not oily,...
Whether you’re religious or not, the food is amazing. The dosas here are much better than the cart in Washington Square park. I have been coming here since I was a kid, and I still come back here and there even though I don’t live in NYC anymore. Wait times after placing your order may be about a half hour or more, but it’s worth the wait.
It’s a bit hidden, but worth finding it. The prices were so reasonable and while the food was not the best Indian food I have tried it was very hearty and filling. I had upma. They also have a beautiful temple. It’s a hidden gem and I’m glad I got a chance to see it and have food here.
