My go-to Indian restaurant. I would drive all the way from Astoria to Bayside just to eat here. The…read morefood is always consistent and delicious. Their lunch special chicken tikka masala is 10/10. The curry is so flavorful and the chicken is super tender -- definitely a must-order. It's also a great bang for your buck. Make sure to get the vegetable samosa too; I love dipping it in the green sauce they give you. One of my favorite things about this place is actually the side dishes. The pickled onions are sooo good, and I love their steamed vegetables. They also serve pea soup, though I personally don't really eat the soup. Three must-tries: 1. Chicken tikka masala 2. Vegetable samosa 3. Garlic naan Mango lassi is refreshing! I've eaten there multiple times and the service is great. Waiters are attentive and professional. Ambience is laid back, casual but at the same time can be a date spot too.

The dishes are sweeter than you, or I would expect. Attentive service, nice enough decor, whatever other stuff people talk about in reviews... but the food leaves a lot to be desired. Even the garlic naan was middling at best. Kind of a strange joint. The uncanny valley of Indian restaurants.

I should probably start by admitting that I know... absolutely nothing about dosas. Which is…read morehonestly kind of embarrassing because I literally live near Little Bangladesh of NYC. To make matters worse, I even went to a place called Dosa Delight once and somehow... didn't order a dosa. Don't ask. I don't have an explanation either. So yes, this was my official first dosa experience, and I'm going to let it set the standard. This whole trip felt like the ultimate side quest. What do you mean, "Let's go to a temple and eat at the canteen?" Somehow it ended up being one of the highlights of my week. When we went, the place was almost completely empty. There was just one family there... who, for reasons still unknown to me, decided to sit right next to us when the entire canteen was basically available (maybe we looked nice and they didn't want to be isolated.) So yeah, that's the setting. My sisters and I shared the butter masala dosa and also ordered the vada, which comes with four pieces. Somehow, that was enough food for all three of us, and the total came out to around $15. We left absolutely stuffed. The vada wasn't really for me BUT not because it was bad. I have an ongoing personal feud with ginger so that's entirely a me problem lol The butter masala dosa was SO good. Crispy, buttery, and filled with warm, flavorful potatoes. I kinda ate it the way that I would eat Ethiopian food: tear the dosa, add potatoes, and dip in sauce. 10/10 side quest. Great food, unbeatable value, and I finally understand the dosa hype. Love!!!

The Iddly were pillowly soft and was good was the sambar and mint chutney. The Masala dosa was good with the potato filling but I liked the rava dosa better the onions were so buttery and sweet and went really good with the mint chutney and sambar. The samosas were the best samosas I've ever had. The staff were really friendly. It was relatively quiet except for the bollywood music playing in the background. All the food was amazing. We concluded the end of our meal with mango ice cream and almond saffron ice cream. The rolled ice cream was really good you could feel the layers break apart on your tongue making it especially satisfying.

Nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of Flushing, Queens, Dosa Hutt offers a glimpse into authentic…read moreSouth Indian cuisine with a warm, family-like atmosphere. My recent visit revealed a restaurant that prioritizes hospitality over culinary perfection. The tomato onion uttappa, which I had high hopes for, fell short of expectations. The ingredients seemed hastily chopped and unevenly distributed, lacking the finesse one expects from a traditional South Indian eatery. The seasoning was notably absent, leaving the dish feeling flat and uninspired. In contrast, the medu vada proved to be a pleasant surprise. Served piping hot within five minutes, these crispy lentil fritters were above average, offering a satisfying crunch and traditional flavor. The filter coffee, a staple in South Indian dining, was a highlight - rich, aromatic, and prepared with care. What truly sets Dosa Hutt apart is its incredibly welcoming service. The staff's courteous and familial approach made me feel instantly at home, effectively overshadowing the minor culinary missteps. Their pricing is refreshingly reasonable, with a delightful bonus of offering mango lassi at just $2.50 - a price point that's hard to beat in New York City. While the food might not be consistently exceptional, the restaurant's charm, affordability, and warm hospitality make it a worthwhile destination for those seeking an authentic South Indian dining experience in Queens. I'll be back to try their other dishes which I couldn't try during this visit.

We also tried both the Rose Lassi and Mango Lassi. I think I still prefer the classic Mango Lassi but I'm glad I tried the Rose Lassi too. It was just a little too floral for me to drink regularly.

Popped in her Saturday for dinner after a matinee in Manhattan…read more I started with the Chicken Manchow Soup. Hot and spicy with a fair amount of chicken. It cleared my sinuses. For the mains, my better half had the Lamb Curry and I had the Chicken Tikka Masala. We both asked for the medium spice level. With the mains we ordered two garlic naans. I found my Chicken Tikka Masala, along with the garlic naan, delicious. The other half thought the Lamb Curry was too spicy (I had the leftovers at home the next day. It wasn't as hot as she said. I thought it was fine). Both mains had a good amount of meat for the price. They gave us a complimentary dessert of Rasmali, because they were disappointed my other half found the Lamb Curry too spicy for her taste. Very tasty. My only quibble is that they charge $9.99 for an 11-ounce bottle of Taj Mahal beer. We will most definitely return.

Food (5/5): This is the best Indian food I've had in Queens!! Every since dish is packed with flavor, depth in the sauce and meats, and reasonably priced!! I liked how much sauce was in every dish. Samosa was perfect. The Goat Mandras was my favorite with a sauce that has spice but not super spicy considering the red chili symbol. Chicken Tikka was also very good. My garlic naan was SO good, has a crunch on one side but airy soft to bite. Unlimited little rice bowls?! This will be our go-to Indian after our first experience.
