The food is beyond good.
The dosas (“large, crispy, sourdough crepes”) filled with seasonal fresh
ingredients like butternut squash and roasted tomatoes are DELICIOUS. My
favorite dosa is the #5 Avocado (with Fresh Tomato, Arugula & Jack Cheese).
The dosas come with different flavors of chutney (hence the restaurant’s name)
including cilantro and mango. I – ever the plain Jane eater – stick to no
chutney. Other must-try menu options include the #22 Grilled Cheese with
Tomato on Sourdough (with Avocado). My coworker and friend Brian
– a more adventurous eater – loves the #2 Calamata Olives dosa (with Tomato,
Roasted Onion, Arugula & Goat Cheese), the #9 Curry Chutney Chicken
dosa
(with Spinach & Balsamic Roasted Onion), the Thali special Indian
Vegetable of the Day (which comes with Basmati Rice, Dal Soup, Grilled Naan
Bread, Chutney & Yogurt) and the cardamom coffee. Speaking of beverages,
the lassis are wonderful. They’re super smooth smoothies. I love the mango
flavor but I have to abstain because non-dried mangos make my tongue itch.
I could go on and on about
the food… Instead I’ll tell you to just try it! In addition to Soho there are
Hampton Chutney locations on the Upper West Side and also in Amagansett. (Which
has me thinking, if Amagansett has Jack’s AND Hampton Chutney, Justin and
I just might need to win the lottery and buy a beach house there…)
P.P.S. To save a few bucks,
order off the kids menu. The options are just as delish and you won’t go hungry
– the kids’ portions aren’t kiddie-sized at all.
nice work
