Village - The Soul of India

Small place. Went there based on reviews. We tried coconut rava masala dosa, ghee roast, regular masala dosa, vada, poori & korma. Coconut rava masala dosa was good and unique. Other than that, food was okay. Nothing with a wow factor.

Whenever I had a craving for south indian food in long island, I used to frequent Taste of Chennai, i.e. until I discovered this place Village - The Soul of India. This is by far the best south indian restaurant in long island. Their pani puris are killer. The dosas, idlis chutneys and sambars reminded me of what I had tasted back in India. Everything tasted fresh too. The service was good and prompt. We were lucky to get in right before the dinner rush hour where we saw large groups having to wait for a table.

For those who are not familiar with south indian food: their menu is either completely vegetarian (as in this case) or largely vegetarian and 100's of options to choose from.

This place is a must try!
We got mysore masala dosa, mushroom dosa, idlis, pani puris, chennai thali and masala chai. Everything tasted great!

am a regular customer of The Village Restaurant and have visited many times because I have always enjoyed the food and the overall experience. Unfortunately, my recent visit was extremely disappointing. I arrived at approximately 9:20 PM expecting to have dinner, but before I could even be seated, a staff member informed me that the restaurant was closing early and refused to let me sit. What upset me the most was not just the early closure, but the rude and dismissive manner in which I was treated. There was no apology, no explanation, and no attempt to accommodate me or speak respectfully.

This is something new here if you’re more than four people came to eat they charge 18% gratuity without telling or mentioning anywhere on Menu why we have to pay what if we don’t like service this is not right you have to make a visible to customers.

Food is good but the waiter came to our table right away yo get the order as they were closing in 45 minutes. We haven’t had a chance to even sit down and we were rushed out
