Pongal NYC

Pongal Restaurant has been a proud cornerstone of traditional vegetarian dining in New York City since 1996. Located at 103 Lexington Avenue, we recently celebrated our landmark 30th anniversary, marking three decades of continuous dedication to authentic Indian culinary excellence. For thirty years, we have specialized in bringing the rich, vibrant, and comforting flavors of traditional Indian vegetarian cuisine to our community. From our signature, freshly prepared dosas and variety of other dishes to our elaborate traditional thalis, every dish is crafted with a deep respect for heritage recipes, aromatic spices, and genuine hospitality. Over the generations, Pongal has grown from a neighborhood favorite into a beloved destination for locals, commuters, and food lovers from all walks of life who are seeking a true taste of home.
