Brooklyn Curry Project
8.4
Brooklyn Curry Project channels a Bengaluru dosa stand into Downtown Brooklyn, focusing on ghee-drenched dosas, idlis, and plant-forward South Indian plates. What began as a Fort Greene farmers market tent now runs limited-service meals from a commercial kitchen, drawing lines for its crisp dosas and deeply flavored sambar.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; metered spots are scarce during business hours and event nights—plan on a short walk or rideshare.

Noise level: Lively but not overwhelming—easy to chat while ordering and waiting.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes depending on pop-up volume and weather.
Weekday lunch: 10–20 minutes during peak lunch; minimal wait off-peak.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — the menu is heavily plant-forward with multiple fully vegetarian dosas, idlis, and sides.
Vegan options: Yes — several dosas and sides are naturally vegan; confirm ghee vs oil on preparation.
Gluten-free options: Limited — rice-based items like idli and some dosas can work, but cross-contact is possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a casual, low-pressure meetup than a formal date—great if you both like discovering street-food-style spots.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—there are no reservations. Order-and-wait service means timing your arrival early is the key advantage.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for adventurous eaters—crisp dosas and mild idli are approachable, but spice-sensitive kids may need guidance.
Best For
Better for: Crispier dosas, deeper sambar flavor, and a true South Indian street-food feel at a lower price point than most sit-down Indian spots.
Skip if: You want a full-service dining room, cocktails, or classic North Indian staples like butter chicken and naan.
