GOTHAMIST ACROSS THE WEB

People who are commenting here saying "Oh $6 for a dosa, its about 400 rs here in India" .
Do you guys know it costs more than $1000 for a single bedroom house for rent here in US?
$1000 is Rs 60k in India. So stop judging the man before complaining.

this the difference between India and America in America people give respect to all kind of jobs but in India if u are making food in a stall they treat u like a Labour

[fen]

As a Sri Lankan I am so proud of him. Food looks amazing. Such an inspiring personality.

[existentialvoid]

Used to eat his dosas three times a week while teaching at NYU - truly the best.

[Loveofmuhammad]

I was a regular customer back when I was a student at nyu. Super nice guy and the food is out of this world

[aayushi]

I don't think 6$ is overpriced. Comparing the standard of living in US.. 6$ is minimal.

I've eaten masala dosa for breakfast in Hyderabad INDIA. Delicious.

[alxmampilly]

is dosa man in dc or marvel universe??

[GovindGuptaWittyWriter]

Customer are in proper line...but in India " Oye jaldi de naa bhai-890 " 😁😀😂

[Amitn]

I dont know why but seeing this video gave me a sense of peace with the man doing what he loves and the pitter patter of the dosas and all those birds chirping in the background. 🙂

[timmorris]

Mmmmm that looks delicious! Awesome dude.

[EvoKeremidarov]

BIG UP TO HIM FOR HIS HARD WORK AND DEDICATION... THE FOOD LOOKS DELICIOUS TOO

[dr.sindhurapothineni]

it's the reasonable price in US like here 20 or 30rs is the reasonable price but rich people still go eat at expensive places like chutneys which is much more expensive than this man's prices (cause of people like him our Indians can taste food that feels like home )and Americans can know the real taste of Indian food and it's vegan so he's my hero

[hiramyawicks]

Thiru Kumar, So glad that you are doing well in Washington. Hope more and more people will line up to have your nutritious vegan Dosas. All the very best! Greetings from Sri Lanka.

We Sri Lankan Tamils make and eat thosai(dosa), idli, vadai, puttu, hoppers, string hoppers etc. most of our foods are same to TN food. These are our traditional foods too. If you visit to Sri Lankan tamils’s places, you can get these foods.
