NYC Parks: The Special Pondicherry Dosa and a Samosa is a good place to start, though you should try it all. Just be prepared to wait on line. It is a good idea to go a little ahead or after the main lunch rush.
Viviane: Try the samosa chaat. Delicious!
Em Lazer-Walker: The Pondicherry dosa might be my favorite NY street cart food. You don't need to wait in line to get samosas, though, so do that if the line's too long.

Pineapple Froyo: I’m confused about the high ratings as the food is genuinely only so-so. The mains weren’t memorable and the salad had so much dressing it was drenched. The taro samosas flavors didn’t match...
Natalie K: Skip the “classics” page & go to their specialties & street food. Banana leaf chicken & taro puff samosas were great
Sophie Song: Everything was solid! Fave was “over rice” (street food) with crispy pork belly, Chinese sausage and pork. Also got chicken satay and pad see ew. Great flavor without ridiculous prices!
