"The southern Indian states of Kerala, Karnataka, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu — where chef Vijay Kumar is from — are the menu focuses of the Unapologetic Foods restaurant. It’s a really wonderful West Village spot from the team of Roni Mazumdar and Chintan Pandya. It wows with dishes like the Goanese oxtail and the Mangalore huukkosu — cauliflower fritters served with fresh coconut chutney. The gunpowder dosa is one of the best in town." - Robert Sietsema, Nadia Chaudhury
