Hindu Temple Canteen

South Indian restaurant · Flushing

@infatuation

"This Hindu temple cafeteria in Flushing is well known among the Indian community and the most serious of Indian food enthusiasts.You’ll see temple-goers and tourists alike flock to the fluorescent-lit basement for idlis, sambar, and big buttery dosas. Everything on the menu is vegetarian, and you won’t find better dosas in town. It’s a barebones operation with communal tables and folding chairs, but it's got just as many devotees as the deities upstairs. Buy some take home snacks while you wait in line to order, and make sure to check out the gift shop on your way out." - neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim
