Located at the center of Curry Hill is Chennai Garden, a veggie southern Indian restaurant. Its extensive menu hits on favorites like paneer dosas, cauliflower masala, lentil curry, eggplant curry. Read more

One of my favorite Indian places in NYC. All vegetarian, and super flavorful. If you want it spicy, look for the pepper or ask them to turn it up—default here is very mild.

The best south Indian food. It easily beats a lot of places in India as well. A must visit for food lovers.

I never had a dosa before. Had the gunpowder chili. It was massive. Adequately spicy and delicious: well priced too. The restaurant was clean, intimate. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
