South Indian restaurant · Flushing

"Ganesh Temple Canteen is a Flushing institution. The basement cafeteria is under the city’s first and oldest Hindu temple, and you’ll see temple-goers and tourists alike flock to the basement for idlis, sambar, and big buttery dosas. You won’t find better dosas in town, and everything on the menu is vegetarian. The canteen is a basic operation with communal tables and folding chairs, but it has just as many devotees as the deities upstairs. Buy some take-home snacks while there, and make sure to check out the gift shop on your way out. " - carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick
