  Miss the old UWS location dearly, but this place remains a banger nonetheless. Not necessarily an authentic Indian dosa spot, but still hits the spot. The dosa with grilled chicken, sun dried tomato, goat cheese, and spinach (with mango and peanut chutneys obvi) is on my roster for favorite meals of all time for SURE. Great for a quick bite, but the high-top seating isn’t geared for a longer hang out or laptop sesh. I’ll continue to be a fan and recommend it to pals, perfect for a filling lunch.

  To all the dosa lovers out there, unfortunately, this is not a place I’d recommend if you’re looking for authentic and flavorful Indian dosa. This was my first visit, and the dosas were extremely bland, especially the fillings and chutneys. The biggest disappointment was the $7.50 mango lassi—it tasted noticeably bitter and was completely undrinkable after just 2–3 sips. I understand that the lassi may have been pre-made and that they may not have been able to alter it. However, given that I had paid $7.50 for a drink that I couldn’t consume, I expected better customer service—perhaps offering a replacement drink or a refund. A little more effort to make things right when a customer genuinely cannot consume what they paid for. I spent around $28 and unfortunately left quite disappointed. Good food brings customers in, but how you handle a bad experience is what makes them come back.

  Absolutely delicious and I'm so happy that they opened up a location in Manhattan again after the Upper West Side location closed down years ago. They have the best iced chai latte and I love the deluxe masala dosa with mango chutney. My kids love the egg and cheese Dosa and they share it.

  Desi girl here stumbled across this place with hubby after a long tiring journey from Europe. I love dosas but can never master it at home. This was a great twist on dosas - we got chicken curry dosa and an avo vegetarian dosas. Big portion sizes, super crispy, FULL of flavour and so so delicious!! Ravi treated us with much enthusiasm, explained the menu and provided some recommendations. All the other staff were meticulous and focused on treating their customers well. Clean place too. We’ll be back!!

  I ordered their #9, which was their Curried Chutney Chicken with Roasted Onions + Spinach. We get one complimentary sauce and I chose the Cilantro. My order came out to ~$20!! Granted, the dosa was pretty big and intimidating at first, but given that it was my first real meal of the day, I conquered it! Flavor-wise, I wish it had a bit of a kick to add more to the bite, but the curry chicken was still good and saucy nonetheless. They have a key for the restroom and a station to pack your food. Definitely a gentrified spot with its higher prices and non-ethnic ownership. Not sure if I'd come back given the overall value, but it suits the neighborhood dwellers.
