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.
$6 per dosa is actually on the cheaper side by US standards :)
Prashant Chaturvedi yup, restaurants charge more than $10
$6 is really cheap we need $12 for every day train to work
S.Mithyanthaya Clearly they don't understand PPP.
This man sells dosa for $6 in a neighborhood where the cheapest and smallest studio apartment rents for a minimum of $2,800 a month.
this the difference between India and America in America people give respect to all kind of jobs but in India if u are making food in a stall they treat u like a Labour
sahi pakde hai
+Aisha Syed lol
that's because purchasing power of dollar is more than that of rupee...
prashant bisht it's not about purchasing power of currency. grow up dude
do you even kno what is PPPT, before barking please study
is dosa man in dc or marvel universe??
probably you will find in tinkle IYKWIM 😉😂
Its ACK universe. Amar Chitra Katha. :-p
Its tinkle not twinkle
Alex M marvel😂
Alex M I think marwell uniwehrce
Trust me, Thiru is one of the most vibrant, always happy dudes I've ever come across. I met him in New York a few months ago. I was bummed to learn that he was closed for the day however Thiru was super sweet, and told me to come the next day, for a made to order breakfast sadly that was also the day I was flying out. Hopefully I can be on time the next time I'm back in New York.
JewsLikeFun hahaha glad to hear that 👏 God bless
JewsLikeFunk so sweet of u love from india
Yeah, Tamilians make me feel like that as well, they are super-nice, hardworking peple, who are always grateful for their fate in life. Can't say the same about us Malayalees, ie we are a neighbouring state south of Tamil Nadu(yes there are some in Sri Lanka too)
Paul Purail It takes a good heart to praise ur neighbouring state and it's people..am grateful for the kind words u said about tamilians!
Have you visited Dosa Man again ?
Used to eat his dosas three times a week while teaching at NYU - truly the best.
As a Sri Lankan I am so proud of him. Food looks amazing. Such an inspiring personality.
Customer are in proper line...but in India " Oye jaldi de naa bhai-890 " 😁😀😂
Hah hah smh
Indian will follow Q in mcDonalds not in dosa shop.
I don't think 6$ is overpriced. Comparing the standard of living in US.. 6$ is minimal.
Ava Meyers you are write
You are amazing Thiru Kumar,
best wishes from Germany!
Fuck Germany
Queen Elizabeth II queen savage AF
How is that Savage, do people know the meaning savage these days?
Tamil Fitness Motivation super machi
Street vendors all over the world either speak Tamil or are relatives,whether it's Germany or NY or bangalore.
I was a regular customer back when I was a student at nyu. Super nice guy and the food is out of this world
I've eaten masala dosa for breakfast in Hyderabad INDIA. Delicious.
I am from Hyderabad
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. 🙂
Amit N v subtle observation ☺
1:36 "Gtfo, u won't get your change back"
Mmmmm that looks delicious! Awesome dude.
Tim Morris indian food
Or Sri Lankan food
Gaurav Upadhyay sorry Tamil traditional food
@MohaMad. Why Tamil food, you mu-slum moron? It is South Indian food.
Mohammed urvias then wat abt kerala not only tamil all southindians loves and makes dosa.
This man is great and great job doing money is not importants his smiling face is great and shiv om . . .
Ravinder Kalsi His hard work bring smile n satisfaction on his face.....not any Shiv Om.
Ravinder Kalsi He is Sri Lankan, probably Buddhist, so keep your Shiv Om with yourself.
+Ranjeev Joseph he did not say that to you, why are you so butthurt? So what if he says "shiv om" to a Buddhist? Didn't Buddha preach tolerance?
are you kidding me he easily makes over 300 a day in profit I dont feel sorry for him one bit his smile comes from him making money you think if he made 8 dollars a day profit he would be happy .. hellllll no and i love indian people and people of all races .. money sees no race and he makes plenty money I am proud of him but to say he doesnt do it for money is naive
Andy Roger hey fucked up Christian... Bloody shit of shitty Jesus... You read Bible... I make shit on Bible book torned paper
That special pancake is called Adai in 'Tamil'
Dinesh how it tasts ?
Yep. Its called adai and adai dosai in some places. It tastes good. I(and most people) usually eat it with jaggery.
Siva Prasanna otha
Rice Grum Ngomma
When you say something to me, then of course, I talk fuck face.
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.
ramsi ramsika puttu is traditional kerala food.
ramsi ramsika I respect srilankans in Sri Lanka , I don't respect tamils in Sri Lanka , coz Tamils in Sri Lanka formed a terrorist group LTTE and killed most of Lankans , they were headache for india as well as srilankans , for ur kind information
Our ex PM Rajiv Gandhi was killed by LTTE
Instead of hanging those culprits after keeping them years in cell , Ex TN CM jayalilitha requested ,Pranab mukherjee sir to release them .
just stfu you can not call every tamil a terrorist. Just like every german is a nazi fucking pundee othaa vesse
@@anjankumar3798 your PM is rapist leader 🖕
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
Sindhura Pothineni well said
Hmmn.....Kamma !!
don't relate this with price among rich and poor ..its a indian food habit .besides,nobody should hesitate to eat at eating place .
Dr.Sindhura Pothineni chala baga chepparu. i am from anantapur.
dr sindhura...vegan ante istamannaru. nice to know.
I like thiru Kumar, respect, hard working, make it enjoy other people's, very good food also
2:00 flex!
Yes!! Tamil!! So proud of you!
Priya Naicker ya Tamil feller have been cheating and selling each Damn thosai for 6 bucks stealing people money. What a shame
@@nationalmixvideos3698 dear ,do you know anything about the taxes in New York? Actually this is cheap in new York
U r naicker,naicker is Telugu... don't say u r a Tamil
very inspirational...Hard work leads to success! He is making his motherland proud by doing this great job! A big salute to you Sir
I love this man’s sense of humour bravo dosa man 👍🏻

proud of you sir
Really appreciate your work
VEGAN??
I'm visiting this place within a month.
YESSSSS
malaysia call it "thosai"
hanselxy its a finger cut by pieces actually . lol .
jep piah even in Tamilnadu it's thosai, but north Indians call it dosa.
jep piah it is called Thosai in Tamil language. There are many dialects in India. It is also called Dosa in the North and in some states in the South of India such as Kerala etc.
chiru G to explain to my Malaysian friends it would be easier as when I mention to some of my Malaysian friends they understand it better as we have many different races here. If you felt it was a wrong word used then language it is. Cheers!
wildone293 in west Bengal most of us call it "dhosa"
"I can challenge anybody. I work from 5AM in the morning and work in the same speed throughout the day" - Those words is the reasons we are talking about him here. Do what you enjoy or enjoy what you do.
This is amazing...best wishes from Malaysia, Mr. Thiru!
not oly in dosa Sri lankan Tamil's are Talentd in evrything Hatsoff .....
I respect him because he is a vegan. By the way dosaman, please change disposable to compostable ware.
Surabhi Sagar Agree
Probably costs too much
Surabhi Sagar what's wrong in being non vegetarian . is that much sin . i traveled more nation only in India i found herbivores , carnivores , omnivores ... i mean eating only veg , veg and non veg , beef eaters ... can't laugh so smiling
Surabhi Sagar so will you harm someone eating meat ?
No . Im worried about those who fall victim to norrow minded thoughts like yours in the rural parts of india who cant defend themselfs ... ref: those people attacked and killed by gau rakshaks
The best part is that he looks so satisfied and happy. 😊
Awesome man. Best of luck. Best wishes from Malaysia.
What about the harsh winters?what does he do then?
New York winters are surprisingly mild. They wear extra layered clothing. When they get too cold they take shelter in a nearby store to warm up and get back out there. The cooking range also provides you lot of heat. During severe snow storms they stay home. I used to work in Manhattan so I used to observe these things.
In winter it is extra spicy to warm you up. lol
The street food doesn't shut down even if the weather goes below zero degree.
watching this video while eating home made paper dosa👅
Swathy Vijayan Noooo! I just woke up, and I read this! I really miss all the specialty dosas I used to eat in India!
Swathy Vijayan paper thosa tastes good
What a lovely soul💚
proud of u bro
crab juice or mountain dew?
sri Lankan tamil ✌
Thar Je he said he is from Sri Lankan though
Thar Je he said he is from Sri Lanka though
Thanks Dosa man. All the best to you. Very inspirational.
Awesome man.
Tamilan 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
ram chandran
racist spotted
Abhayr You nailed it right
ram chandran idiot he is from Sri Lanka.
ram chandran his name is in Tamil and Sri Lanka also has Tamils. tamilians does not refer to separate country.
ram chandran dude tamil people also live in srilanka
Wow kitna yummy dikhra 😀
This stuff looks amazing.
Great respect to you sir...God bless
Tamilan da 💪🏻
Kirshan Kirupa...don't say that...say indian...no foreigners ever say they state names...
Lmao he clearly said he is Sri lankan
He should use gloves when's preparing dosa , he is clean but dollar bills are filthy as toilets tissue ( check under microscope), Indian rupee much cleaner because they use water in bathroom unlike tissue paper in US
majid Ashif lol you are defiantly a dumbass if you think Indian rupees are cleaner than US dollars. also I'm Indian too. Also wearing gloves is less hygienic than not wearing. Search it up.
majid Ashif what you know about Tamil mind think and comment
Thanks for upload
serving food is very generous.. keep smiling & be happy forever. God bless you, Sir. 😄
Hi Mr. Kumar, I am already hungry, 1 dosa please, here's your £7.
Vegan/ vegetarian food needs to stop trying to imitate meat and just make a combination of food that tastes good. Indian/ South Asian vegetarian food is a prime example that vegetarian food doesnt have to taste like ass.
MrPieman00 So, you're mad at vegans that want to taste meat but don't want to kill animals, so they make imitations?
MrPieman00 so true, i would like to become vegetarian at some point in my life but i can't eat the stuff white people make, south asian vegetarian food tastes so much better
We vegs want to taste meat too you know
Spot on man.
Good Thiru kumar. Thank you Gothamist for sharing.
Definition of hard work..
Yeayy Go Tamil
Fruity Bunny y?
In Sri lanka.. right?
Tamilanda
Suryavarman he's from Sri Lanka.. not Tamil Nadu
Vaishnavi Kulkarni Tamilan is who speak Tamil is not defined by where he is born
Vaishnavi Kulkarni once again u are proving you have clue what you are typing
srilankan Tamil is still Tamil...tamilans are there all over the world
Vaishnavi Kulkarni You need to brush up on your Indian history. Sri Lankan Tamil is still Tamil. Why must we take that away from him?
It's really good and heard work, because he starts work early morning 5AM and continues till 9PM..
Great Mr.Thiru Kumar 👍👍👍. You rock !
it's funny when I see Indian restaurant on the board we think of Indian chefs. but it's actually either Bangladeshis or Srilankans mostly in UK, looks it's the same in US too
Fan of Cards Lots of Pakistanis too.
I think that's because its something like saying 'indian subcontinent'. Same thing with ethnicity. You are either classified as African, Caucasian, Chinese, Indian etc - not Bangladeshi, Sri-Lankan... Besides, the region has a shared history and culture until, ironically for this topic, it was the colonialists who partitioned the mainland (Sri lanka excluded).
Lol means those countries don't have even their own culture 😂😂😂
Following indian culture
INDIANS ROCK
yashvone indian subcontinent rock!
See we are so inclusive!
yashvone he is saying India rocks what did he say about the dosa man
Devbrat Singh mut Lado yaar, he is American now
stfu overpatriotic fucktard
When I come up to New York I am going to Washington Square Park and have some of his Dosas!
Truly amazing!
I have an issue with him handling money and food. The money is what the second guy should be doing.
Cheryl Medeiros just go to a restaurant
You should volunteer.
Cheryl Medeiros he said he want to connect with thte customer. And that what he did.
yes I had noticed the same. he had no gloves neither did I see him wash his hands
Cheryl Medeiros Atleast you see his hands here... imagine the restaurant cooks who might hide booger in your food and you won't even know it.
Tamilan endru solla da thalai nimirunthu nilla da
Go sir go ...!!! Loved it..!!!
Kudos to you man! Would love to visit your stall and have a dosa when in NYC
Much better than Halal food
chacha79081 Technically, his food ia halal since it contains no animals(vegan) so it rules out the possiblity of there being traces of pork. Dosa doesn't havr any alcohol. So...that food is basically halal.
7$ for one dosa 😱😱😱😱
amazing work
right now im happy and peacfull .what a nice guy
masal dosa cost 30 to max 50 in south.
sada dosa 20 to 40 max.
these south indian brakfst is excellent.
india has such a diversity in food culture too.
n this srilankan man is making evn v indians proud doing south indian food.hatzoff to u annai(elder brother).
யோவ் என்னய்யா சொல்ற உன் பேரு கந்தசாமி யா
Mersal திருக்குமார்
Wow . It’s all his struggle which is paying off 👍🏻 7$ for dosa is exactly same for any American pizza or burger here in mumbai. So people chillax! In American it is nothing compared to the taste he is offering. Much respect to you man 🙏🏻
Mr. Thiru Kumar,...God bless you.
in India it cost from 30 to 100 Indian rip rupees
in west bengal it cost around 25 from street stalls and from restaurant around 80 or 90
yup..here in adigas a masala Dosa is 100inr...man 6$ for a masala Dosa must earn him a lot..
no bro in India "purchasing power parity" is very high compared to its GDP . where as in most of the Developed country its opposite. Pls google the term its economics/finance thingy.
yeah, and a kilo of dulce de leche in Buenos Aires cost me U$S5.00, NYC is all about the cost of living. A $6.00 dosa is the ish!
Bhai Jaan 30rs me kachra dosa milta hoga 70rs se starting h mere area me
He should have someone else handling the money
because he's is cocking and touches the food and is not hygienic
Los Angeles on location. sure. please can you go and help him haa haaa... man be kind. he's doing his best. don't think bad.. please..
Los Angeles on location a lil bacteria on your food won't do harm. You can't be sure if the chef at a restaurant touches raw meat then touches it again after it's cooked with the same hand.
Los Angeles on location
you have an immune system.
use it.
This is why Americans have weak immune systems
I agree they should close his operation down.
Great Thiru Swami
that's passion man he seems so happy on what he loves to do i bet he has never worked a day in his life
