- I went here for the first time last night for dinner. The service wasn't great, but the food was. The menu has a little marker for everything containing dairy (no vegan desserts) which makes ordering so easy.
The samosa appetizer is 2 big, crisp and flaky samosas. We also got the Alu Chana (chickpeas and potatoes) and the Baingan Bartha (eggplant in a tomato sauce), both of which were delicious. Both of the curries came in what appeared to be small bowls, but the portions were actually really large and we had to take the rest to go.

Review by grumblegrumble on August 28, 2008:
- Wow. I ordered the Masala gunpowder dosai and found it to be virtually inedible. Crackly and dry in some places, soggy in others, messy with a spice coating ALL over the inside, obscenely large, and just...ugh. The potatoes were mushy and the coconut chutney was just so-so. Server barely made eye contact and looked like he loathed every second of his job. I'm giving it a "3" on food in case they make an amazing ______(fill in the blank), but I would not go again

Review by BankBank on June 24, 2008:
- Wanting to try something new, I ordered stuff that I had never tried. The Iddly Vadai combo was... unique. Iddly was a bland clump of soft dough that pretty much totally lacked taste. The vadai was simply a doughnut. This appetizer was neither tasty nor particularly healthy.
I then tried the Gunpowder Masala Dosai, a large, thin crepe with unique spices. This comes with a small dish of yummy potatoes that you can put in the dosai. This was pretty tasty, although it was basically just plain bread and potatoes.
I have a feeling the buffet would be the best choice, as you could sample a lot of different interesting things. I liked that items with dairy were clearly marked on the menu. The atmosphere was nice, a casual place where you could also go on a business meeting or a date. I had to wait about ten minutes to get the check, which was a little bit annoying.

- Excellent all vegetarian south Indian! The uttappams, iddly in rasam bowl and kala chana (black chickpeas) are my favorites. Highly recommended lunch buffet if you find yourself near Curry Hill...
