Very good food. Touches the soul. Not sure why low ratings. Been in NY for a few years and this restaurant is literally in my neighborhood. Regret not trying it earlier because of the reviews. Restaurant is very simple and reminds you of home. And every thing tastes like home cooked. This place is my new fav. A bit pricey for fully vegetarian meals.

Tucked away near E 39th Street is this restaurant famous for its dosas, and rightly so. Mr Sudhir is quick in service and friendly.
The Deluxe South Indian thali is good, but wish they would give rice to customers who dont want the phulka.

Pets are not allowed.

Reservations are recommended for weekends.

Note restaurant closes daily at 9.pm
