"For a South Indian lunch thali on the Upper East Side, Lungi is the spot. Try to sit in the covered back patio, which is a little less cramped than the rest of the U-shaped restaurant. In this spiffed-up cafeteria-like spot, vegetarian, seafood, and meat thalis are $20-$26—portions are huge, and it also comes with rice and several sides. The dosas are solid too, and for something even bigger, try the Sri Lankan lamprais—a complete lunch in a banana leaf." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
