Madras Dosa Co.

It’s a start-up of a restaurant, and hence a work in progress, but its first step—offering South Indian food in an area that doesn’t—is excellent. But as they grow, the place will need decor: the rectangle-shaped black linoleum carpets that greet you need to evolve; art on the walls will give it character and, if chosen correctly, even depth and texture; the tables and chairs from 1950s Levittown, Long Island will have to be exchanged for something modern. The place comes across as a canteen, offering food diminutive in size for the money it charges, though its signature dish—dosa—is fresh and flavorful. It’s not a place to linger. It’s a grab-and-go establishment that won’t stay in your mind and risks being forgotten. They won’t offer tap water and soon will charge for the air you breathe. It risks being a place of no consequence.

Stopped here on a whim for lunch while I was in the area and was pleasantly surprised! I got the lamb canteen sandwich and it was delicious. The portion was larger than I expected so I ended up taking some home. The decor is beautiful and the space is bright, clean and cheerful. It’s counter service, so pretty casual.

Five stars! The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. The dosa and idli was easily the highlight of the meal. Hands down one of the best spots in town!

Got out of my workout and was on my way to Trader Joe’s when I spotted this place. I’m a big dosa fan and have been searching for a good and authentic spot for a while, so I was excited to give it a try. I ordered the Pav Bhaji Dosa and it was absolutely delicious! I devoured it so fast, my brain didn't register I had a full meal. Fast service, clean space, and great flavor — I highly recommend it!

I recently visited Madras Dosa & Co on 6th Avenue and tried a few dishes. I ordered Masala Dosa, Samosa Chaat, and Pani Puri. The Masala Dosa was delicious with a crisp texture and well-spiced filling, while the Samosa Chaat had a nice mix of flavors and freshness. However, I was disappointed with the Pani Puri, as the taste did not meet expectations and lacked the authentic flavor I was hoping for. Overall, the restaurant has some good options, but the Pani Puri definitely needs improvement.

Spicy bhel puri tastes of home 🥰 Recommend anyone that wants more spice in a chaat. Please order it spicy ! Love the manager and the employees here ☺️🫶🏽

I ordered a traditional potato dosa. It came out very quickly and had more filling than other dosa locations I've been to. There are Indian music videos playing on a big screen TV which I appreciate. So often restaurants just play typical pop music and this was very nice. I also love the peacock mural. The food was delicious. One of the sauces that comes with the dosa is incredibly sweet and spicy. It far surpasses "white people" spicy and I loved it. They also have Lay's chips from India which I need to buy next time. Masala chips? Yes!! My only complaint is there's no AC. There are fans. Spicy food plus no AC can be a bit uncomfortable. The staff was attentive and checked it I needed anything twice. I look forward to trying other foods from the menu. Especially the vada!!

While I love Indian food, I’ve never had dosa before! Absolutely delicious and a very generous portions. Also the Samosa Chaat is outstanding and you must try (think of it like a deconstructed, delicious dip). We’ll definitely be coming back!
