  While the South Indian food on offer is tasty and inexpensive, it’s nothing great the way the food writers make it out to be. Mostly limited to variations on basic dosa offerings

  It's very easy to stuff your face to oblivion here. Paneer dosas for the win.

  A good place to have lite snacks while visiting the Ganesha temple. The service could be a little fast. Tried the dosa here and was not disappointed!

  The place is vegetarian and mainly South Indian and Sri Lankan, and you will find a warm welcome there. From a list of 25 dosas, we ordered a butter dosa and a Hyderabadi dosa. Both were delicious!

  Super delicious dosas served in a canteen below a Hindu temple. A hidden gem. Definitely try the spicy paneer and get a mango lassi to go with it.

  Try the paneer dosa, with chunks of paneer folded into spicy mashed potato, and the ghee roast,

  Here find one of the city’s best vegetarian menus, with the dosas, idlis, and utapams of Southern India as its bedrock. [Robert Sietsema]

  Friendly, unique and delicious w/ must eat dosa. (Tucked away in the basement of a temple)

  Seriously the definition of "hidden gem." Try the Hyderabadi Dosa and get extra chutney to cool your tongue down from the wonderfully nuanced heat factor

  The masala dosa, with its spiced-potato filling, reigns here, but any of the 22 varieties are worth trying, including the Pondicherry, and the onion and chilies-embedded Rava dosa.

  The basement canteen at this temple makes New York's best dosas and some excellent homestyle south Indian food. All vegetarian, all very cheap.

  Make sure you know what you want, since there's no menu behind the counter haha!

  Dosas in the basement of a Hindu temple. Get something starchy, something spicy, and something sweet (mango kulfi!). Pass a serene moment in the temple upstairs afterwards.
