1. Wendy P.

This is good for stopping for something quick to eat. There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan choices and options to have something creative if you're not eating meat Services is OK Everything came very quickly. It can get a little crowded in there. Nothing too fancy in the ambiance or style of the place.

Store in a strip mall. The Gobi Manchurian is v pretty good. It was very crispy, nice little kick..I liked it. I got the Chennai rava masala dosa... it was mildly spicy. Parts were so crispy, they broke.. other parts were wet and soggy... the sambar was delicious, so very good. The coconut chutney was good, but mildly flavored.. there was also a red coconut chutney, it was pretty good. The service was quick and efficient... This should really be a 3.5 stars...

3. Waynr Z.

Great selection of North Indian food--esp as a South Indian restaurant. Paratha was less puffy but still delicious--comes with curd. Great portions and left very full.

4. Robyn K.

If you like Indian vegetarian food, this is really the place for you. I love this place. The food and selection is fantastic. The food brings me right back to when I was in India. The spices and unique flavors are spot on. the staff is extremely helpful and courteous. I always leave this restaurant satiated and happy.

6. Mala L.

Stopped in on a whim for a casual lunch. No frills place with plenty of seating and efficient service. We each had a masala dosa and a masala chai. Both delicious, well portioned, and well priced. Definitely a solid option for Indian food when in the area especially if you're looking for vegetarian.

7. Scott G.

Really good food here. They could definitely have made good use of another server on the floor, but we were patient and everything was OK. The Chickpeas and Spinach was so soft and succulent... and the Paneer with Masala was excellent as well. We would return.

Chennai is a beautiful and bustling city in the south of India 8360 miles east of New York or a 12 hour non stop plane ride on a jet doing 690 miles per hour. The Dosa is a delicious, huge crepe made with rice and lentil batter with different fillings - potatoes, peas, meat, etc. Chennai Dosas is a lovely, warm and fun restaurant right here in Hicksville, Nassau County in NY about 24 miles east of Manhattan. It boasts an extensive menu of authentic and I emphasize authentic, the real deal southern cuisine featuring 37 varieties of these stellar dosas that will make you smile and do the Dosa Do Si Do dance.( 2 menu photos). You can go healthy with the spinach one or get the one with cheese and mushrooms, maybe the veggies on top or my favorite- the gunpowder Dosa that will bring tears to your eyes with smoke coming out of your ears. Every single dish is made to order and per the customer's specific request. I ordered the garden soup with lentils and veggies and asked that it be prepared mild. 17 minutes later I was loving this steaming bowl of goodness and flavor that was so fresh and tasty and nourishing. The best soup I have had in a long time. The appetizers were amazing - idlis( steamed rice cakes in the photo) were divine. The vadas( same photo) or lentil flour donuts with the accompanying sambar( lentil soup) and sauces or chutneys were just amazing - crispy on the outside and melt in your mouth goodness on the inside. The coffee was hot n fresh. The accompanying dessert- the halwa ( thick paste from flour, butter, saffron, rose water and yes Love) also brought tears of joy to my eyes, again! The staff was absolutely magnificent- kind, humble yet so efficient, aware and alert, treated us like gold, 24 kt that is. The prices were really good with an average of $19 plus tip per person. They have a separate dining room for big parties. I have hosted a group of 15 there with our private and uninterrupted space and two amazing and attentive team members spoiling us. They are open daily from 11:30 am to 10:30 pm. Get over to Chennai Dosas in Hicksville and do the Dosa Do Si Do. I just saved you that 12 hour trip to Chennai.
