Question: What’s worse than a North Indian restaurant in New York City making a mess of the delicious South Indian crepe Masala Dosa?

Well, you know what happened next.
Like Indian youths drawn toward pictures of Mallika Sherawat’s tatas, our legs were pushed of their accord to the Dosa cart for two reasons – the drooling desire to munch into the Dosa and the chance to do a review of another desi eatery in NYC.

During our visit, Shahid had two varieties: Plain Dosa and Masala Dosa.
Of course, we opted for the Masala Dosa ($4.99).
It took about five minutes to get our Masala Dosas that Shahid cut into pieces and packed into Styrofoam boxes.
We took the boxes and quickly headed to the nearby Bryant Park where there are chairs and tables.
