Semma

South Indian restaurant · West Village

"Semma opened several years ago at a time when Indian restaurants specializing in regional cuisines were on the increase, but even among that august lot, this West Village restaurant is distinguished. The gunpowder dosa, configured as a triangle, is unbeatable. And some dishes are so pretty you won’t want to cut into them, like lobster tail in coconut milk and mustard, or the Goan-style oxtail." - Eater Staff
