One of my favorites for many years. Place is not fully vegan but let them know if you are and they will take good care of you. The lunch special thalis are highly recommended. Great dosas, idli, and much more.

Awesome South Indian vegetarian restaurant less than 2 miles from Times Square. Excellent food and great service. I ordered filter coffee, Mysore Thali and just loved it. No charge for extra sambhar and chutney. Mysore thali might be good for two unless you are super hungry. It came with masala dosa, medu vada, idli, uttapam and badaam halwa.

Conclusion - good taste, good quality, good service.

Pongal is a favorite for South Indian food! I cannot come here without ordering too much: idli, vada, Mysore masal dosai and rava dosa and utthapam, and the tamarind rice is a special favorite! The servers are always kind and welcoming, asking after food allergies with a lot of care. I'm so glad to see them in a bigger, brighter space these days.

I’ve been coming to this place for years and it holds strong. When I’m very hungry, in the mood to treat myself to a delicious, healthy South Indian vegetarian meal no place comes close. And Tipu the server is the best.

Great authentic Indian dining experience here in the heart of Manhattan.
Food was delicious, servers were friendly all at a very reasonable price.
Will be coming back to this local gem. Palak paneer was delicious, well spiced and good portion.

My friend and I had dinner here last night, and the food was absolutely delicious! We ordered Upma, Dahi Vada, Masala Chai, Laccha Paratha, and Undhiyu. Everything was perfectly prepared, and the service was excellent. Thank you for the wonderful meal—we can’t wait to come back soon!
