What Koshertopia has to say:
Located amidst numerous kosher, vegetarian, Indian restaurants, Pongal has no trouble holding its own. Hailed as one of the best South Indian restaurants in the city, Pongal's patronage is diverse, making it a welcome alternative to some of the city's more traditional kosher establishments. So if you're looking for a new type of food, a different neighborhood, or a value meal, Pongal is the place for you (insider's tip: spinach lovers should start with Spinach Pakoda and then move onto Palak Paneer).
