Very nice Indian restaurant in NYC. Completely vegetarian and very vegan friendly (I am mostly vegan), the food was delicious and staff was kind. The atmosphere is calm so it is a nice place to go and have a conversation and taste Indian food. I have been there twice, tried the dosa and also their lunch special (sort of a Thali) and I liked them both. The masala dosa I would have cooked the potato filling a bit differently but that’s just a matter of taste

This place has some really positive vibes and you may feel it just when you enter this restaurant. They have a separate jain menu. We ordered jain medu vada which was crispy and the sambhar was okay.

PRETTY DARN GOOD. I went after lunch special, so I enjoyed peaceful quiet dining. Was told my Mysore dosa entree was vegan and gluten free. It tasted amazing and was very comforting. The Palak Tofu, it was ok not very greasy, nourishing. Its portion was a bit small. Asked for spicy Mysore and non-spicy Palak, and recieved. Very delicious. Mysore Dosa, the soup and dips it came with was so comforting. Fresh. DOSA was huge, prefect crispy flaky feel. Look how beautiful it is on the back of the restaurant. Light pouring in. Servers very attentive but not overbearing.

Great place! Bright, clean, and airy. Attentive service. My friend and I pretty much ordered one of everything off the menu and could have kept eating if we didn’t have someplace to be. Delicious mix of dishes and flavors. Would come back again!
