Tried the famous Dosa Man in NYC, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The dosa was perfectly crispy, the chutneys were flavorful, and the sambar had the right balance of spice. The service was friendly, and the experience of enjoying authentic South Indian street food in Washington Square Park made it even better. A must-visit for food lovers in NYC!

Went on a Thursday but couldn’t find him, not sure if he is still here, will try again tomorrow earlier. Went again on a Tuesday early and he was there ! Great NY spot, he takes care of ever single customer and you can the passion for each dish he cooks. I ordered the Pondichery and Samosa, fresh and great dishes to try on the go. The green sauce was really good and mild spicy

We went on our first day in NYC which was Friday. For lunch, we sought out NY Dosas since we badly wanted some good, authentic Indian grub. There was a line when we got there and it was 94 deg F that day. Was it worth the wait of over 30 minutes? Heck yeah! The dosa was amazing and the samosas were tasty. We got both at spicy level. They also came with sauces. The dosa came with coconut chutney - amazing! We paid $18 for the dosa, two samosas and two bottles of water. Definitely a good value for your money for NYC. We learned they’re taking some time off and won’t be back until Tuesday so I’m glad we went today. The owner was extremely friendly and engaging. I can totally see why he is famous. I’d be a regular if I lived in the area.

Fantastic Dosas in NYC! The chef has become quite renowned, and his food truly lives up to the hype. He's also incredibly kind-hearted. Despite the long line, he made sure our child was served first, without having to wait. Service like this is a rare find these days. Of course this isn’t like a real South Indian dosa but eat on the go it is perfectly fine.

Amazing samosas and Masala dosa! I am not a dosa person, but this one sold me with the vegetable soup on the side for dipping. I loved the samosas with the green coconut chutney- it was the best samosas I ever had! Friendly & personable service as well where you can tell the guy cares about what he does. For a Monday, the wait was long as there was a long line but it’s worth it! We ate our food on park benches nearby which was nice.

Boy am I lucky we caught the food cart the day we did! He didn’t open any other day this week and my wife would have killed me if we missed his dosas! The line was a bit long, but the wait was worth it. We ordered three different dosas and highly recommend them all! Absolutely amazing owner (I cannot and will not butcher his name in this review-I cannot spell it). He was extremely friendly, let my wife take pictures, and chatted her up while he cooked our food. Top 3 experiences in NYC by our votes. If he is open and you are in NYC, get to Washington Square Park. If you don’t, you will miss out. From Iowa, I want to go back just for his dosas! You need to eat here!

I can't comment on its authenticity but it was was FKING DELICIOUS.The owner is very friendly and quick with prepping the food! And yes, the line is certainly long, I actually waited for ~2.5 hours. But if you just need to buy the sides, such as samosa or vegan chicken leg, just go up to the cart!

The Special pondicherry dosa was tasty and not very expensive. It was a masala dosa with a few more vegetables. I would have liked it to be a little more spicy (I picked the Indian spicy preparation). I also would have liked it more if the dosa was crispy (the batter was thick so dosa was soft). It was slightly inconvenient to eat from the box so that was the only negative in terms of atmosphere. Chutney was good and sambhar was okayish. As for wait times, I had to wait around 15 mins to place my order on a Monday afternoon.

Great rec by my Indian-Canadian friend! (Thanks, Princejeet!) He told me years ago to try the dosa, and I finally got to visit. I've never had a dosa before, and I didn't know what it was before he told me about it. This is a cart in Washington Square Park. After seeing so many college students around here, I spotted the line right away. I waited at least 40 minutes around 2 PM on a Friday. By the time I was halfway, the guy said he sold out of the special one. Then later he had to cut off the line because he said he would not have enough for everyone. To be honest, the liquids/sauces looked unappetizing, like there is a bright green thing all over it. BUT, to my surprise, the green sauce tasted the best. The soup in the cup was pretty flavorful. I got two things, and it came out to $22. The portion looks big. Cash or Venmo. No credit card.

The sambar was quite good — flavorful and satisfying. As a South Indian, I found the dosas to be standard — decent, however Thiru was quiet engaging!

We weren't even planning on eating here, we just happened to see a line and figured it must be good. We got there exactly at 11 and it took about 45 minutes to get our food. I'd recommend getting there a little earlier than that. We got the Special Pondicherry and a samosa and really enjoyed the food, but I'm not sure it's worth waiting more than 30 minutes for.

Blandest Masala Dosa I have ever eaten, got the medium spicy masala dosa. Not a fan. Other Dosa joints that i tried where authentic and actually tasty.

I got the Podicherry special with vegetables and potatoes. As a dosa fan, this dosa was below average. Didn't have to wait in line but the taste didn't match the hype around this place. The sambar was inedible to me. The dosa was dry and the veg was too raw/crunchy. The chutney was average. Skip this place and go to any well rated South Indian restaurant in the city.

I had been grown up eating lots of Dosa at different places in India and USA. Looking to the reviews on Google went there from Brooklyn specially to try his Dosa. Honestly it's not worth at all. The taste of Doda and it's masala inside was absolutely tasteless. Sambhar was like just water floating with few vegetables. Even the Samosa was so tasteless. Also be prepared to eat on the benches in the park since its foodtruck. It's completely waste of money and time. I personally advise if you want to eat south Indian food do visit Ganesha temple in flushing where they serve yummy food in their canteen or visit Dosa delight at jackson heights or Jersey city Ganesha dosa..
