Hindu Temple Canteen

South Indian restaurant · Flushing

"Founded in 1993 and located in the basement of Flushing’s Ganesh temple, this place serves a strictly vegetarian menu of South Indian dishes, running to multiple varieties of dosa, plus uttapam with a choice of batter inclusions, and idly in several formats. There are vegetable curries and rice casseroles, too, in a family-friendly setting. Remove your shoes to visit the Hindu temple upstairs, where all are welcome." - Robert Sietsema
