Where to get Awesome "South" Indian food.
(Note that south indian food is very different tasting compared to "indian" food in most restaurants named Delhi Palace, India Palace, Taj etc. etc.. in the US. The texture and feel of the food is different, you do not have "breads or naans" on the menu, there is lot of rice or rice based items. They are all spicy. But it is fun! Dosas are 'crepe' like items.
Excellent locations to have dosas (by city)
NYC: Lexington Ave & 3rd St., Saravana Bhavan, Udupi, other places nearby.
Washinton DC.: Amma Vegetarian Kitchen, Georgetown.
