Keeping his prices low for students and people who are on a budget because he believes everyone needs to eat, honestly... what a lovely man👏

“We keep you healthy, you keep me wealthy” I LOVE THAT

The way he said his daughter graduated from college. Proud father moment.

Dude wins a green card lottery, works some odd jobs then opens a food cart and uses it to put his daughter through an ivy league school. I really hope he made it through the last few years, absolute inspiration.

Love it when he says, 'Y'know what I'm saying?'

I love the pride in his voice when he said "economics double major" about his daughter

So much nostalgia for me. I went to law school right across the street and this man was honestly nicer to me than anyone I ever met during my time in NYC. His presence, positivity, and delicious food made a tremendous difference in my life. What a legacy

I actually met him and did not have cash at the time thinking that my card would be fine. The machine was down and he still gave me food for my daughter and I. The stories about him being kind hearted are so true. I returned the next week and asked him if he remembered me, he said yes. I paid for the food twice over because of this. May this kind man continue to prosper🙏🙏

This man has found peace. You can see it in his eyes

“You know what I’m sayin” he’s definitely a New Yorker

He never forgets a face, I bought from this guy as a teenager he sees me a few years ago around age 39 and ask me “how have I been?” 😯 🤯 .

His last words touched my heart " Nothing is permanent, so you should be happy with what you got".

Dude is comfortable with himself. He’s friendly. Chill dude. He get’s it. Food looks great. Good street food option.

Never thought I'd hear a Tamil speaker say "youknowimsayin" like that.

He brought up his grandmother in the conversation so many times and the life lessons she had taught him...wonderful! MashaAllah

When I went to visit NYU 9 years ago, my parents and I saw his cart and tried his dosas. And to this day, I can’t forget how amazing the dosas were!

Forget about dosas, he teaches you everything in life, says life is temporary, he understands that students can’t afford expensive food so sells food under $10, says enjoy what you do, he is a complete man!

"We keep you healthy, you keep me wealthy" From this you can understand that this man always straight up tells the truth

The story of the civil war, he talked about between the Srilankan govt and the Tamil Tigers, is a brutal story. Most people overlooked the story but those who are familiar with the story know that he'd probably would have been dead if he'd stayed back in Srilanka.

I love how he knows everyone's "usual" order. Fantastic story.

"I love bikes and racing.....after I got married I stopped" I feel you brother, deeply 😂😂😂

Makes Vegan dosa, doesn't overcharge the crap out of people. He's a treasure to the world.

I came one day and asked if he had any chai for sale. He did not, but he shared some from his personal thermos with me! He refused to take no as an answer. So very kind. Always a long line when I walk by his cart. If you catch him with a short line hop in!! The samosas are so delicious.

Proud of you sir, love from Srilanka 🇱🇰

Selling Vegan food, shiva disciple, yoga- meditation, migrated during civil war.. worked hard, helping people with full heart, happy in what he have.

Admit it, we've all probably come back to watch this video every once in a while

If I ever come to New York, I will have to check out his Dosas. I fell in love with South Indian and Sri Lankan food as a vegetarian. A South Indian/Sri Lankan restaurant opened in my hometown Bremen a while ago and I just love it there. Lots of Indian restaurants in Germany are North Indian, so I did not really know much about South Indian cuisine.

You can tell that he was genuinely really emotional while talking about how much he loved the shop, his craft and the people. That kind of love and passion is priceless and really warmed my heart. Also, now I crave sf.

Humble lad, loyal to his customers and in return receives loyalty back These New York vendor stories are really just people's stories, and I love that

"I keep the food under $10, so poor people can have food too" Great attitude.

One day I will meet you. Being a proud South Indian like you, I respect the love and kindness you show the world. Sending lots of blessings to.

I love these stories! He seems like a genuinely kind person! Much continued success to this man!

I came for food, left with wisdom.

"Nothing is permanent, you should be happy with what you've got." Great advice. Thanks for sharing.

So much positive vibes.. I like the line "nothing is permanent everything is temporary, enjoy life every moment" Hats off to you man. You are really awesome and spreading awesomeness with your food..god luck and bless wishes...I hope your legacy someone can take forever 🙏

He said it very right "whatever you cook put the most important ingredient, that is love, and it will be the tastiest food of this world". Great man and kudos to his dedication.

A great human being. My wife and I waited over an hour. It was well worth it. He talked to my wife. And during the conversation she mentioned her father died. This gentleman grabbed her hand, and said a prayer with her for her father. All while having a line all the way down the fence. I'll never forget him.

His cart was closed but I told him I wanted to try the legendary dosa mans dosa and I traveled from Virginia and he made me the last dosa of the day a truly humble man

Tasted today. Loved the dosas and his dedication to his work.

his energy is just 😭🤍🤍 what an inspiring and lovely man.. i hope i can visit his cart one day!!

You know he's slowly turning into an American when he repeatedly says "youknowhatamsayin"

He won the Visa Lottery and is now thriving with a daughter in Columbia University!! What a legend

Being a strict vegetarian I have trouble with food when traveling internationally, NYC is one place I Don't need to worry about. Some day when I get a chance and when I have saved enough to afford a vacation in the US, I will visit this man, not just for the food, but for the great human being that he is. ❤️❤️ Hats off to you sir and loads of love from Tamil Nadu 😊😊🙏

This was the highlight of my NY trip. Having watched this video, I'd always wanted to visit him. Waited an hour in the line but was totally worth it. He was very genuine in his interactions and took time to make sure each person velt valued with his warmth and customization. Would definitely visit again when in NY.

The way he cuts the dosa in two is so satisfying to watch.

I love this man. His grandmother's philosophy is spot on - nothing is permanent, you should be happy with what you got.

Wholesome, wholesome. Love his attitude and you can tell what he does makes him happy. Just chillin at the grill all day

You know he's well integrated in NYC with how set phrases like "you got it, brother," and "you know wh'm sayin'?" come out with the certain intonation and feel. That's just proof he's part of NYC and can't be replaced.

1 year later: Guys we must support this mans during this pandemic. Make sure he'll be there once this is over.

This guy has the best “y’knowhatimsayin?” Y’knowhatimsayin?

You had me at "it's my grandmother's recipe" you know it's gunna be good AF.

Saw this again! One of the highlights of our NYC trip! What a man!

The guy is keeping the prices under 10 dollars so everyone can afford it

you got millionaires out there that dont seem as content and happy as this guy.

I remember being in NYC, (for "traveling" purposes) and while I was there, I saw the Dosa Man and his friend/family member, pulling everything off of the back of a trailer at the time, [this was in 2014, November] and as I was walking past, they looked like they needed a bit of help.. I usually say 3 people helping [with the weight of it all] and instead of- "choosing to just, keep walking by", and instead of rationalizing in MY mind- "they'll get it", I saw a "what COULD go wrong" sort of vision, so I was "nudged" to help. When we got it all off of the truck, he kept telling me- "no, stay I fix you meal, please". The first time, I ducked out because I was late for a meeting, less than 10 mins late. The 2nd time he caught me passing by, he RAN over and PULLED me back to his cart, to give me a dish! His samosas are phenomenal & the layering of his sauces, an explosion on your tastebuds! While I was eating nearby on a bench, he came over and asked- "why you don't like Indian foods? I don't cook junk food, you see no chips right?" There was a moment, in what seemed like hours of time, where our "sparks" had recognized one another. "Maybe from another time", as he referred to it.. As I explained it had nothing to do with the type of food, but more with the time of day which I consumed foods- that's when he mentioned, "the reflection of choice & deciding". This gentleman's heart, is far grandeur than a lot of things I had seen in NYC, during my time there. Although, many may "perceive" the city as, "dingy, dirty & unsanitary".. it remains in the "seerers field/view", the opportunity to: - #PurposelyChooseToSeeLight ..even, when surrounded by darkness. What, "innate seerers" can see, the level at which one can "recognize the reflection", embodying the grandeur, fractal & interconnectedness of "all that is", has become more of an "action based", conscious embodiment OF truth, in the reflection of- free will & subjective reality and by how one "intentionally chooses to decide, to NOT allow #PersonallyNegativeEffected experiences, to turn them "bitter". But to instead- #GoAgainstTheGrain2022 of that which, should have NEVER "been allowed", a space/time in the mind or heart. Realizing the difference, is but a stone in the greater pond of ALL. #NYCDosaMan #LifeEmbodimentOfVedicMastery

“In this world nothing is permanent .... just be happy” I felt that! ♥️

Hi Kumar. In September 2009, I bought my dosa lunch from you. It was a pleasure talking to you , especially, in Tamil. I enjoyed the experience. The lunch queue was very long. Mostly office workers. I felt very proud that you served a humble Indian breakfast food to a huge community in New York. Your personality and philosophy is serving you well. Well done.

Amazing!!! Everything about this is incredible. Thank you for highlighting this guy!! I hope I can get to visit his cart before his contract expires.

i love this guy he has such a positive Aura when he talks anyone having a bad day or down listen to him or eat his food can make the rest of day relaxed such a positive positive person its very hard to find those kind ppl may god bless him his positiveness towards life n work makes him awesome Dosa man

My daughter graduated from Columbia University - double major! The look on his face, proud father! :)

You know he has a good business when the people interrupt his interviews

I visited the dosa man to find that they were not servicing any more customers beyond a certain point. When I told him I was pregnant and walked a long way to have his dosa, he made an exception and asked me to stand by the side and served my dosa immediately! What a humble man! God bless him with more success.

So happy to see such a kind man like you.. love from sri lanka 🇱🇰

"She just graduated from Columbia University .... economics, DOUBLE MAJOR" You could see him beaming with pride when he said that. :D

True story - I was taking classes at NYU and I would go eat at his cart before class. One time I went and I only had a big bill. Right before I was about to ask him if it's cool with him to break it, he said, "Hey man if you don't have the cash today, just pay me tomorrow." This dude's the man. AND his food's legit.

I love dosa, especially when it’s extra crispy. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Looking forward to more videos!

Love his smile. It makes me smile. So happy for him!

"Nothing is permanent. You should be happy with what you have got"

No way I went to high school with his daughter. Glad he is proud of her, both are great people!

The ideal immigrant to any country. Respectful, hard-working and shares his own culture/cuisine with the community around him.

Whenever I am sad and I complain I come here....and feel good about myself...:)

This mans use of “You know what im sayin” is LEGENDARY

Special pondicherry dosa (nuclear hot), samosa and a bottle of water. That meal got me through college. And he really is one of the nicest people.

Happy to learn from such hardworking people like him.... God bless you and your family 🙏

What a cool and chill man, love his energy

UKposts your recommendations are getting better day by day.

Nothing is permanent in this world so you got to be happy ; dosaman NY

Every time I watch these im always eating and they keep entertaining me. Good stuff

You can see just how proud he was talking about his special dosa being served in India

7:24 "I'm a New Yorker. Me? Of course, I've been living here 25 years!" That chuckle is golden.

Immigrants are the backbone of this country, bringing their own unique characteristics with them. I pray this man forever has a line at his cart for as long as he makes those dosas!

waited 3 hours to try his food. as expected this man didn't disappoint us even though he was sold out on something we wanted but he make us special dosa for us it was worth whole 3 hour wait. this man I so down to earth and friendly to everyone who approaches him for a photo or to shoot a vlog while serving giant awaiting line of hungry newyorkers

The best part of this series is that it highlights the amazing contributions of immigrants to the cultural vibrancy of New York (and the US at large).

I worked on wall street for 30 years and we used to feel sorry for street vendors cos they didnt get paid a million dollars a year but after watching the Munchies channel so much, I see these street-food guys are far happier than any millionaire bond trader I ever knew

Down to EARTH with exemplary humanitarian🙏

Many of these successful NYC street food vendors that are featured on this show have the same work ethic and a positive friendly attitude. A great recipe for success!! (And I’m sure the excellent food probably plays a large role in there as well)

_You need more potato that's good_ My life philosophy, basically

His food is soooo good. Fresh, perfectly seasoned, not salty, and the price is just right. I can’t wait to be able to go back to visit.

I love this guy! So much respect for him!

Till date Dosa tops the regular breakfast or dinner food item in many South Indian house and is always home made 😇❤❤ the love for Dosa is spreading through out the world now 😊😊🙏🙏 Many thanks to this kind hearted man!!

Father, entrepreneur, and chef. This guy is a straight G.

An immigrant who sells dosas with a daughter in Columbia. Wholesome. Hope he’s doing alright in the pandemic with an online gig or something.

This man proves you can be rich without money, fame.He is rich by personality n philosophy of life. Hats off.

not gonna lie, seeing this man live such a happy, passionate and honest life literally just brought me to tears. what a beautiful soul!

"Because some students have no money." I felt that 😂 #strugglingcollegestudent

Lmao when he drops a “ynom what I sayin?”… classic

Saw in some other video of his that the first dosa he makes, he offers it to the birds. So touched. A spiritual person.

He's as cool as he's shown in this video. Yesterday, I went to this cart to have some of his world class dosas and not only that, he's such a cool guy to chat with!

"spicy as usual?" -yeah yeah "You got it brother!" For some reason I love this 😅
