"The southern Indian states of Kerala, Karnataka, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu — where chef Vijay Kumar is from — are the focus of the menu at Semma. It’s a really wonderful West Village restaurant from the team of Roni Mazumdar and Chintan Pandya. It wows with dishes like goat intestines flavored with curry leaf and Mangalore huukkosu — cauliflower fritters served with fresh coconut chutney. And the gunpowder dosa is one of the best in town." - Robert Sietsema
