Madras Dosa Co. Times Square

Found this new go-to near Times Square, and it was perfect. A menu of delicious indian street food. We ordered the masala dosa, aloo tikki chaat, and chilli cheese toast. Everything was super good and flavorful. The dosa was crispy, and all the sauces were so good. The chilli cheese toast was also very delicious. We took some masala chais to go, and they were soothing and warming for the cold wintery evening. Walking distance to times square and they had indoor seating. Very clean and cute wall murals.

So, I’ve never been to India, but I eat a LOT of Indian food, and this has got to be my FAVORITE Indian restaurant! What sets it apart from other, fancier spots? The recipes are taken from southern India, as opposed to northern India. Now, as I said, I LOOOOOVE all kinds of Indian food (I really can’t get enough of it!), but there is something unique about this place. If you’ve eaten at other Indian places around town then you’ll see what I mean! It doesn’t taste like any other Indian food you’ve had (unless you’ve had a dosa before). If you want something quick and easy and full of flavor, get a dosa! That’s their specialty, and you can watch them make it right in front of you. But my secret go-to is the Pani Puri (what I call the “Balls of Happiness” because biting into their crunchy exterior always puts a smile on my face). I was waiting for this location to open because I’ve been to their other restaurants in Boston several times, and I’ve heard they’re opening up a couple more spots in NYC soon… I can’t wait! A couple of things to watch out for: the white lassi drink is NOT SWEET. I got it once thinking it would be like a sweet lassi, but I was mistaken! If you want sweet lassi, get the mango one. And also, the chili cheese sandwich is basically a cheese sandwich with green chilis (see my photo), kind of on the spicy side. Maybe I’m an idiot, but I totally thought the chili cheese sandwich would be a kind of fusion thing with Texas chili on a cheese sandwich with an Indian twist. But it’s not. FYI. This is literally my new favorite Indian restaurant in NYC. It’s fast, healthy, and supremely delicious!

Food at Madras Dosa Co., simply put was scrumptious! I ordered a Masala Dosa which was crispy and delicious! The Thatte Idly paired with ginger chutney and coconut chutney made my day! Definitely coming back when I visit New York again. Hopefully they can open another location in downtown Philly!

Very average and bland masala dosa. They gave what tasted like schezwan chutney (?!) with the dosa, not sure why. The bhaji in the pav bhaji dosa was extremely heavy on garam masala and did not taste like bhaji. They did not have south Indian filter coffee either. Overall too pricy for subpar food and very disappointing.

Great new place in middle of the town. We discovered it on it's 2nd day of opening while on a vacation in NYC. Would highly suggest to ppl who like indian food/want to try india food. Great packaging, menu and taste.

Excited to finally have a dosa place in midtown! Crispy dosas with very good sambar and coconut chutney. The fries and fried idlis are good for snacking on. They also have Indian snacks like Magic Masala Lays, and Frooti for sale!

After hearing about the reviews, I tried it, and we were not disappointed...great veggie south Indian place in the Times Square area.. The food was good, and I tried a few chats, Paniyaram and Pesarattu dosa...all good and tasty. Friendly staff and great service

High recommended if you like South Indian Cuisine. The employees are super nice and the food is delicious. Highly recommend the lamb Dosa.
