NY Dosas

Indian takeaway in Greenwich Village usually means steam-table buffets or late-night delivery. NY Dosas breaks the mold with a cart that feels more like a street-food stall from Mumbai than a New York storefront. It sits at 50 Washington Square S, right where the park’s southern edge meets the sidewalk, so the scent of coconut chutney and sizzling lentil crepes drifts past joggers and chess players alike. Breakfast crowds line up early; by brunch the cart is a quick pit stop for anyone who wants a masala-spiced wrap or a cup of chai without the sit-down ritual. Vegan and vegetarian plates share the menu with coffee and what regulars simply call comfort food—no apologies, no fuss. Fast service is the only promise here, and it’s kept every day. Solo diners grab a dosa to go, while clusters of friends split plates of uttapam or samosa chaat under the trees. Healthy options and quick bites sit side by side, so you can balance a fried snack with a turmeric-laced smoothie if the mood strikes. Directions are easy—just follow the map to Washington Square’s southern border. For anything else, call (917) 710-2092. The cart’s been there long enough that most people already know.
