"Owner Venu Rachuri’s Sri Ganesh’s Dosa House — its blue awning featuring the elephant-headed god — was the second southern Indian restaurant to appear in the neighborhood dubbed India Square in the ’90s, just as the Gujarati dominance was waning. The menu presents dozens of dosas, the crisp, thin crepes made from a batter of naturally fermented rice and lentils, with a variety of stuffings. But it is also offers other classics from a strictly vegetarian menu, including idly, pongal, and upma. Place your order at the counter, take a number, and sit down until your dishes are called." - Robert Sietsema
