"We are excited to bring a taste of South India to New York," Koushik "Babu" Koganti, CEO and co-founder of Madras Dosa Co., said in a company press release. "Indian food is incredibly diverse, with each state offering its own unique flavors, languages, deities and even films. MDC reflects this diversity by bringing together favorite dishes and flavors from all over the country while predominantly being South Indian. Ultimately, we want to challenge what people think of when they think of Indian food. Seeing as New York City is known for some of the best food in the world, we found it was only fitting that we expand our footprint here."
The Times Square location will feature florals from floral and art studio Floratorium and a commissioned mural inspired by Indian backdrops by local artists Felipe Umbral and Majo Barajas
Madras Dosa Co. will add three other locations in Manhattan by year's end.
