West Village Food Cart Named One Of Best Vegan Spots In City

WEST VILLAGE, NY — It is not easy to get named among the best New York City restaurants for any cuisine, let alone if you don't have an actual indoor space, but that's exactly what a popular West Village food cart just achieved.

NY Dosas, an Indian food cart generally stationed near Washington Square Park, was named by Eater NY as one of the 19 best vegan and vegetarian spots in New York City.

Here's what the writers from the food news and rankings website had to say about it:

"This Washington Square street vendor usually has a long line of eager, hungry patrons," Eater NY wrote. "For good reason: The Indian food truck specializing in all things crunchy dosas is one of the city’s most affordable (and portable) vegan options — perfect for socially-distanced park picnics."

The Dosas food cart is almost always stationed at 50 Washington Square South. Its usual hours are Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The West Village food cart has also won a Vendy Award for the "Best Street Food" in New York City.

Its menu includes Masala Dosa, Singapore Noodles, Samosa, and a Vegan Drumstick. All of the food is vegan and gluten-free.

Thiru Kumar runs the food cart and has done so in Washington Square Park since 2001. His famous dosas are made from fermented rice and lentils before they are stuffed with potatoes, vegetables and spicy sauces.

Kumar is originally from Sri Lanka.
