    Bhuna Soya

    . Came with a group of friends to try this place because they're known for their Dosa. Place was kinda empty when we went on a weekday but definitely a place where you can bring a large party. We got a variety of dosa, entrees, dessert and overall, everything was just okay. The potato filled dosa (rava dosa) was better than the original dosa. The sauces that came with it was pretty light, not too spiced as I was hoping. The soya dish we got was good. But overall it was kind of lacking flavor or spice compare to other India food I've had.

    This upscale restaurant serves dosa and other related items like idli and vada. The ambiance is cozy with low lighting, but the tables are placed so close together that you can overhear conversations from the party next to you, which is a major privacy concern. The service was also lacking. Our waiter brought us the bill even before all our food had been served. It felt like they were trying to rush us out of the restaurant as quickly as possible, which is not the kind of service you expect from an upscale establishment. Overall, I don't think this place is worth the price. The dosas were mediocre, and the service was poor. I had better dosas at other smaller restaurants.

    Place is nice inside. My experience was for takeout only. I tried their veggie spring rolls and samosas. Both were excellent, I'd take 14 samosas if I could. Filled with soft potato and peas and the sauce it comes with, chutney and a green spiced sauce was the cherry on top. I'd definitely come back. Great spot for vegetarians.

    A go-to spot for dosa lovers in Queens! Dosa Delight lives up to its name -- especially if you're here for the dosas. We tried the Special Rava Dosa and Pondicherry dosa, and it was hands down the best dosa I've had in New York. Crispy, flavorful, and just the right spice level -- 10/10. The Burnt Garlic Fried Rice was solid, with a great smoky kick -- 8/10. The Chilli Paneer Dry was tasty too -- not overly sweet or saucy, and actually quite close to the Indo-Chinese flavors you'd get back in India -- 7/10. We also had the Dahi Puri, which was fine -- nothing to rave about, but if you're into sweet chaat, it's a safe bet -- 6/10. The vibe here is simple and unpretentious. Service is friendly, quick, and no-nonsense. You're here for the food, not a fine-dining experience -- and that's exactly what they deliver. Go, eat, enjoy -- but don't expect a lot more. Perfect for a casual meal that hits the right spots.

    I've had Dosa Delight saved for a while, and finally made my way to Queens to give it a try. Plenty of seating and no wait at all on a Sunday afternoon. The dosas are giant, but the batter is light and crispy as a good dosa usually is. The menu is long - but I went with classic masala and found the potato filling to be flavorful, and chutney and sambar were like most I've tried. I was also interested in trying the gobi machurian as it's one of my favorite foods, but they didn't quite hit the mark on this. Granted, it's not what they're known for, but the cauliflower wasn't crispy enough, sauce didn't hit the mark and it was a bit smaller of a serving than I expected. Definitely come for dosa, but don't know if it's worth venturing to other parts of the menu given the other options in the area for South Asian dishes.

    Tremendous place. A must if you're in the neighborhood. Dosa Delight is a great vegetarian Indian restaurant specializing in --- as you might have guessed --- dosa. Their dosa is massive, thin, and delicious. There are a ton of variations and plenty of sauces. My absolute go-to is the Chilli Paneer Masala Dosa. Afterwards, I'll have a chai. The interaction of flavors is incredible. Aside from the food (which is very considerately priced), the service is pretty spot on. The place is small enough that as soon as you pick your head up to look for someone, they're practically at your table already. Food gets to you pretty quick, so if you go hungry, it won't be an issue. It can get a bit busy during dinner, but we've never had any problems getting a table. If you're in the mood for something non-veg, you might consider going to their sister restaurant Red Chilli. It's a bit more upscale. I've been doing to Dosa Delight for over 10 years. It's been consistently great and one of the few places I feel completely comfortable inviting folks to eat at.

    Menu

    Great flavor and giant crispy dosas. Great to visit for the dosas in particular. Many of the other items are on par with other spots, or slightly underwhelming such as the paneer kathi roll and aloo gobi. Lots of good vegetarian options as with most Indian spots. Would return to try their Chinese fusion menu. Service was ok, at times odd and was strange that one of the servers was taking a photo of the diners in the dining room near closing.

    Been here a handful of times and the food takes a while but overall it's tasty and consistent. The dosa is crisp, and the sambar, and chutney complement it really well. Service is so so here and it can get rather busy pretty fast. As a group we ordered the vegetarian masala dosa, palak paneer, and the vegetarian Hakka noodles. Everything is spiced nicely, all really shareable and good portions.

    Pondicherry Dosa
    Vivienne C.

    I was super excited to try Dosa Delight because this is such a Jackson Heights classic and the dosas are humongous. We came on a weekend and the wait was supposed to be 10-15 minutes but we were actually seated immediately because they flipped a 2-person table sideways to squish 3 people which I thought was actually pretty smart. - Mango Lassi - I felt like this lassi's color was way more orange than the usual yellow color, but regardless, the lassi was delicious. I couldn't get over the mango taste of it and I wish they had more of the drink itself rather than the ice. - Masala Dosa - When the dosa arrived, we were all incredibly shocked by how big it was. I think this is the largest dosa/bread I have ever served to me. I love how many different textures the dosa had from incredibly crispy to slightly sour flavors. I also really enjoyed the sauces that went along with it, especially the spicy chutney that had bell peppers inside. - Pondicherry Dosa - I thought this was essentially the same thing as the Masala Dosa except they wrapped the potato mixture which there was way more of. I would order one or the other if I were to come back again. Honestly, each thing felt like it could be a whole meal alone. Overall, a great meal and would definitely come back for that humongous dosa again.

    A solid Indian spot tucked into the Main Street in Jackson Heights -- stopped by as part of a food crawl and got a dosa to share. The dosa was yummy, but a bit too crispy... which is usually a great thing, but it was just hard to pick up any chutneys without it crumbling. The masala was FIRE, would definitely opt for a masala dosa! Skip the chai... too milky slash watery. Overall good experience, would come back!

    Moong Dal Halwa
    Kai L.

    I recently tried Dosa Delight for the first time and really enjoyed the experience. We ordered a massive paper dosa, a flavorful Pondicherry dosa, and a traditional Indian dessert (Moong Dal Halwa). It was a satisfying vegetarian meal overall. The dosas were served with a couple of accompaniments--one appeared to be a cucumber-based dip and the other resembled a light soup. While everything was tasty, some of the dishes were a bit on the salty side, and I found myself needing a lot of water afterward. The atmosphere felt authentic and welcoming, with a steady stream of local diners throughout our visit. It's also a good spot for larger groups. While we were there, they were preparing to accommodate a party of ten in the section we had just finished dining in. A little advance notice seems to help if you're planning to come with a big group.

    Chole Poori
    Sabrina A.

    I haven't been to dosa delight in years but just went for the first time yesterday and it was just as great as I remembered it. The quality hasn't changed and the prices are great for what you get. The place could do with some new chairs but other than that you can't complain! Service was great and the food was so filling! I got the chole poori (chickpeas in a delicious gravy with fried flatbread) and my mom got the thali (a bunch of vegetarian dishes) and we were so stuffed! The palak paneer and tamarind soup were our favorites on the thali and my chole poori was so good! Will definitely be back.

Taking over for another desi-owned spot (#1) several years ago, they've done a much better job of capturing an audience by focusing on a niche of Goan inspired foods, along with a slew of classic Indian dishes that span from north to south. The interior is modest and quaint, and a one bright / memorable outdoor setup during the pandemic. The restaurant is not big, but they've managed to cram in a good number of tables to make it place for 30 folks. Takeout and delivery are also very popular, and I've been fortunate to have had all of the above. Some immediate standouts: goan fish curry, xacuti curry, and the caldeen curry are quite excellent and all come from the Indo-Portuguese side of the menu, which are all loaded with flavor. Additionally, the tandoori selection (especially the chicken malai, seekh kebab, and methi salmon) and variety of curries (rogan josh, korma, jalfrezi, makhani, etc.) are also very flavorful. As with many other Indian places, especially ones that cater to the southern palate, there is an excellent vegetarian selection. The saag chana is one of my go-tos, but the peeli dal, bhindi masala, gobi manchurian over their lemon or tomato rice all merit a big thumbs up. Ownership has likely changed since their initial start, which explains why the staff and "family owned" management has all gotten different looks before and after the pandemic. The other major issue has been pricing, which definitely feels premium at $21-23, for portions that sometimes feels like the size of a hockey puck. The product is still good and the pickins in Sunnyside (#2) are slim, so I realize that for some people, this is the only (Indian) game in town. ___________ (#1) Biriyani House: https://www.yelp.com/biz/biriyani-house-sunnyside (#2) Unless of course, we're counting all the Nepalese spots that also serve Indian cuisine.
