South Indian restaurant ★4.0 (123)·$10–20

I recently visited Madras Dosa & Co on 6th Avenue and tried a few dishes. I ordered Masala Dosa, Samosa Chaat, and Pani Puri. The Masala Dosa was delicious with a crisp texture and well-spiced filling, while the Samosa Chaat had a nice mix of flavors and freshness. However, I was disappointed with the Pani Puri, as the taste did not meet expectations and lacked the authentic flavor I was hoping for. Overall, the restaurant has some good options, but the Pani Puri definitely needs improvement. - Iqbal Nathani
