I think this place might have a Michelin star and it’s quite good. The server recommended that we get the Kerala beef and I think that was a fantastic idea. It was her favourite dish of the night is an appetizer by the way the other dishes we got were the eggplant which was far too spicy for me and a chicken curry, which I liked a lot. The flavour was great. I would go again and definitely get the beef as well as the roti.

I had an amazing experience here with a friend! We were basically clueless what to order and the staff was tremendously helpful. Every single bite of food was delicious and flavorful. Highly recommend.

Sunday brunch is not recommended. It’s a very basic but $50 too expensive of a set menu with curries that all almost taste the same. Service is not good even though I think they are trying. There is much better food to be had in NYC.

Stopped in for lunch. Place is clean and nicely decorated. Polite staff and good service. $25 “meat” thali is a ripoff. Not worth it. Get a dosa instead. Their lunch menu only includes 3 expensive thalis. Order off the regular menu.
Food is so good that it transported me back to India ,where the freshest ingredients are cooked in the purest and heartfelt way possible just like homemade.Service and hospitality is top-notch.Must must visit in NY
PS:The restaurant name is reflected in the attire worn by people in the restaurant.

We ordered the place after believing the reviews speak for itself. But honestly we did not enjoy the food. We ordered Ambur biryani and chilli mushroom.

This review is for SUNDAY THALI.
I was there before for dinner, it was amazing, worth the price
Sunday Thali OR Banana leaf thali NOT WORTH
- quality, quantity, taste, price, not in par with their dinner
Price- $50 for limited veg or non veg platter..
quantity- quantity is 3/4 of takeout condiment cup, with small piece of chicken or fish. Btw it’s fixed quantity platter, no refill
Quality- I ate vegetarian, number of dishes were less than Non veg platter n quality is 2 star, left me a bad taste
Non vegetarian platter, as I heard no meat or bread, just rice… QUALITY QUALITY FOR THE $50 is FORGOTTEN
THIS THALI left a bad taste for me to visit Lungi again
Note: Amala / coconut water- another failed drink… $10 for this mocktail, badly executed

As a South Indian, I must say they have things on the menu that I’ve never seen before in restaurants in the US. It was comfort food but boujie… perfect excuse to eat out. The king fish fry was… *chef’s kiss*… so freaking good. So many good ‘dairy free’ friendly items on the menu. The only problem I had was that they only gave a tiny portion of coconut milk with the hopper, but I guess i can just ask for more next time. Also, Nannari sharbat, Jackfruit curry reminded me of home. Amazing… will surely visit again and spread the word among friends too! And I wanna go back for their Sunday banana leaf feast in the future.
Vegetarian options: Good vegan options too.

One of the best mutton rolls I’ve ever had outside of Sri Lanka—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced! For the main course, we had lamb lamprice & hoppers with Srilankan prawn curry, and it was absolutely incredible. The flavors were rich, authentic, and reminded me of true Sri Lankan cuisine.
If you’re looking for great Sri Lankan food, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

We waited multiple hours for our food as a party of 7 as we watched other customers who came after us get the exact same dishes as us an hour earlier. The food was pretty good, but the service was abysmal. No matter how good the food was, it could not make up the obnoxiously long amount of time it took for it to come out.

Food was excellent. My only complaint is that once you are done with your meal, they ask you to leave. According to them, they have other people waiting to eat. My family and I felt rushed out of there.
They don’t give you the time to really enjoy the place even after you have a nice dinner.
