 Directly across the street from two Sri Lankan cafes, and on the same block as the towering Albanian mosque, Dosa Garden is the first south Indian restaurant in Staten Island. Not only does it dispense vegetarian dosas, iddlies, and utthapams, it supplements these with flesh-bearing dishes from... More >> |

Grounded in Punjabi cuisine, the menu strays all over the subcontinent, even including some Sri Lankan, Afghani, and Indo-Chinese dishes. The tandoori menu is especially comprehensive, including such oddities as... More >> |
