  Consistently delicious food made with quality, fresh ingredients. My favorites are the #5 and #6 masala deluxe, but they are all delicious! Fresh made chai and cardamon. Amazing chutney!! I also love their tomato basil dressing. You can't go wrong eating here. So many delicious options. Sandwiches, dosas, uttapan, soups and salads. So happy they are back in the city after a 5 year heitis. Great for gluten free, vegan and vegetarian people as well.

  The dosas here are South Indian-style crispy crepes made from rice and lentils, served with a variety of fresh, house-made chutneys. They’re generously sized — comfortably a meal on their own — and the batter has a decent tang and crunch. The fillings lean creative and fusion-forward: options like grilled portobello mushrooms, spinach and goat cheese, and avocado with arugula and jack cheese sit alongside more traditional masala potato fillings. It’s an interesting menu that’ll appeal to a broad crowd, though dosa purists may raise an eyebrow. The chutneys are a genuine highlight. Cilantro, coconut, mango, peanut — there’s a solid selection, and they’re clearly made with care. The coconut in particular stands out. So why not higher than a 7? The fusion angle is fun, but it occasionally pulls the dosa away from what makes the form special. The crisp can be inconsistent, and the fillings, while fresh, sometimes feel more like a wrap in dosa clothing than a true South Indian experience. It’s a very good casual meal — just not a transcendent one. That said, for East Hampton or the Astor Place location in NYC, it’s a smart, fresh, and satisfying choice. Worth visiting, worth trying the chutneys, and worth going back for if you’re in the area. Verdict: A crowd-pleasing, ingredient-forward take on the dosa that earns its fanbase — just don’t expect it to transport you to Chennai.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  First time trying Hampton Chutney, it was superb! I had the classic dosa and will be coming back to try different iterations. I love that they balance the classic of what I grew up eating while also experimenting with more modern concepts. What the are doing is super smart! I also love all of the personal family touches across the restaurant, feels even more special. My dosa was super crispy with the perfect amount of filing!

  So good and so happy this amazing place is back - followed from Prince St to Grand St and now years later to Astor Place the dosas are as good as ever and the Masala Deluze (with Avocado) is soooo good!
