What People Are Saying About NY Dosas Cart

Featured Review

Kara Zuaro

Contributor

In Short – Serving up 100 percent vegan fare and a menu that promises a filling meal under $10, Thiru "Dosa Man" Kumar is one of the city's most beloved street vendors. NYU kids and in-the-know foodies line up at this South Indian/Sri Lankan street cart for made-to-order weekday lunches. Dosas, south Indian rice crepes, are filled with potatoes, vegetables, and fragrant spices, and topped with fiery sambar and coconut chutney. They pair well with smaller specialties, like samosas and roti rolls.

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Don't be put off by a long line--with his new and improved street cart, the Dosa Man can now make three dosas at a time, which keeps things moving along.
When to Go:
This cart arrives around 11:45am and packs up when the grub runs out, usually around 4:45pm.
The Extras:
If you can't figure out what to order, the very friendly Dosa Man is always happy to make suggestions.

Heaven!

by zacksolder at Citysearch

It literally feels like you are walking right into heaven.

try it lol.

As soon as you walk in they are smiling and ready to take care of you.

The food is phenomenal! It has just the right amount of spices, AND it is healthy!

That's not something you have on earth.
