  • Thiru Kumar, AKA the Dosa Man, has been running NY Dosas, a food cart in Greenwich Village’s Washington Square Park, since 2001. His dosas-which are made from fermented rice and lentils, and stuffed with potatoes, vegetables, and spicy sauces-have become an international phenomenon. Thiru grew up in Sri Lanka and learned to make South Indian recipes as a child. After he immigrated to the United States in the 90s, he made it his life's work to sell affordable, fresh, and vegan dosas to NYU students, professors, and other passerbys.

    I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!! i’m from upstate but every time i visit the city i buy food from his cart because he is the kindest, most friendly man and always takes the time to talk to everyone about their days/lives and get to know his customers, etc. not to mention the food is amazing (and vegan)!!

      The stupid commented this don't have any idea about the dosa , since he's waiting for the grill to get 180 - 200 degrees , they are first clients in the morning standing in the queue. While the grill heating, he's giving a short interview
