- Thiru Kumar, AKA the Dosa Man, has been running NY Dosas, a food cart in Greenwich Village's Washington Square Park, since 2001. His dosas-which are made from fermented rice and lentils, and stuffed with potatoes, vegetables and spicy sauces-have become an international phenomenon. Thiru grew up in Sri Lanka and learned to make South Indian recipes as a child. After he immigrated to the United States in the 90s, he made it his life's work to sell affordable, fresh and vegan dosas to NYU students, professors and other passerby's.

its true for almost every street food people in india i also were stuck in 3-4 times in the situation when i dont have money or have not enough money they easily say pay it next day
Yeah
Forget about dosas, he teaches you everything in life, says life is temporary, he understands that students can’t afford expensive food so sells food under $10, says enjoy what you do, he is a complete man!

Been going to him since freshman year at NYU.. great guy
A great human being. My wife and I waited over an hour. It was well worth it. He talked to my wife. And during the conversation she mentioned her father died. This gentleman grabbed her hand, and said a prayer with her for her father. All while having a line all the way down the fence. I'll never forget him.

@@eyesforthewise No. I actually took a picture with him, you creep! I wanted to pay it forward.
I really think americans MUST stick their head out of the sand. You're so into that ultra capitalist bs, the individualism and know so little about the actual world; that genuinely scares me. The strong majority of people who's from a third world or developing country (me included) will NEVER make you feel guilty for something like that. If I have two dollars in my pocket and you need one, I'm gonna give it you regardless and I'll never bring that up or ask you for something back. I'm Albanian and in the last 30 years we went through the fall of the regime, civil wars, the genocide of Albanians in Kosovo and a state scam. My parents were almost killed by human traffickers trying to go from Greece to Italy, they still taught me how to treat people with respect and dignity no matter what.
Wow
@@mateoverjo860 It's not about actively MAKING someone guilty, it's a guilty conscience that one has. Most people here won't make you feel guilty about it, but everyone will remember it.
"Nothing is permanent, you should be happy with what you've got." Great advice. Thanks for sharing.
The best part
Very true
nothing is permanent, if you are born poor it is not permanent. you can become successful and happy in the future. if he is subjected to the statement "you should be happy with what you've got" what is the point of leaving Sri Lanka and came all the way to NYS? he should have been satisfied with what he has in Sri Lanka itself!.
never ever compromise with what you got. strive for what you want and what you can get. the capability you have to achieve something is the thing you got "you should be happy with what you've got". don't underestimate your capabilities and also never try to achieve something which isn't your peace of cake.
Great words

mohaddas Aslam You’re a shithead lol.
True story - I was taking classes at NYU and I would go eat at his cart before class. One time I went and I only had a big bill. Right before I was about to ask him if it's cool with him to break it, he said, "Hey man if you don't have the cash today, just pay me tomorrow."
This dude's the man. AND his food's legit.
Bless up ! I wish that man well .
Well, if you're a regular like you implied I don't find this impressive or fascinating. I mean, still a cool dude, but most people will give this kind of service to a regular. I used to get all sort of stuff when I didn't had the money and paid days later just because I was a regular.

His price is actually not right at all. You could buy the same thing in India for less then a dollar with more variety and a great taste. I understand that the price varies in the US so he could increase the one dollar to 4 or 5 max. Anything more than that is just pure inflation.

@@MrY4j I'm sorry I didn't understand your comment. Did you find something wrong with what I said or you're replying to the above person?
Same buddy I didn't understand the same
@@PinkSaira1 Generally speaking, the ones 'discussing' his ethnicity and race are the ones who're prolly the xenos who can't digest an immigrant like him making good on their soil even though he's honest and hardworking.
This was the highlight of my NY trip. Having watched this video, I'd always wanted to visit him. Waited an hour in the line but was totally worth it. He was very genuine in his interactions and took time to make sure each person velt valued with his warmth and customization. Would definitely visit again when in NY.
Happy to see a Tamilian succeed in life through his hard work. Such a down to earth person who accepts whatever life dishes out to him.
@Reiner braun Sri Lankan’s and Tamilians share the same coast, the distance between Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka is at most 60 kms. So they’re very similar
@Reiner braun goddd,tamilian is etnicity and sri lankan is nationality,u get it?
@@ksasidhar2980 share the same coast? Tamils live in Sri Lanka, both sides are Tamil 🤣
@Reiner braun bro he's tamil
Sri Lankan is an Nationality
Tamilan is an ethnicity
He is a Tamil. But he is not a Sri Lankan who massacred many Tamils in the war and definitely not a Indian who backstabbed the Tamils in the war. Some comments calling him as Sri lankan is a high level of hypocrisy
He's as cool as he's shown in this video. Yesterday, I went to this cart to have some of his world class dosas and not only that, he's such a cool guy to chat with!
He’s still there he survived the pandemic!!!
"Nothing is permanent, so be happy with what you got." spoken like someone who is truly content. #goodstuff
He might be a muslim, we say that to
Im the blackest white boy in the world Who the guy in the video? If you think this you are an utter dumbass.
He is 100% tamilan and workship god muruga who is god of war..
@@shreihals9314 The deities he has are Hindu

So much positive vibes..
I like the line "nothing is permanent everything is temporary, enjoy life every moment"
Hats off to you man. You are really awesome and spreading awesomeness with your food..god luck and bless wishes...I hope your legacy someone can take forever 🙏
This guy is probably the healthiest snack car in the whole of the US
svarge no way really?
I gained 4.2 pounds just from watching this.
@@Sabbathissaturday tf outta the couch mate
pain - I’m past the point of a sofa mate. I’m in the bed!!!!
Healthy, definitely! Whole of US? Doubtful.
Love it when he said " I want everybody to have food " that's the secret of success.
When a guy from srilanka says "Nothing is permanent, be happy with what you got", somehow it sounds lot more deeper.
So true
Facts especially a Tamil Sri Lankan
True that
@@arunmanickam1709 ethnicity has nothing to do with wisdom
Maani Dangerous 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ theoretically sure it doesn’t. But the Tamils in Sri Lanka had been subjected to a mass genocide. He escaped to New York and is doing something he loves. His ethnicity showed him nothing is permanent because everything his people had was taken so yes, he did gain wisdom.
He said it very right "whatever you cook put the most important ingredient, that is love, and it will be the tastiest food of this world". Great man and kudos to his dedication.
This person is literally the definition of a “America dream”.
If there was any opression i sure didnt see it..
Steven Leonard lmao what? false equivalence much?
喜马拉雅山顶洞人 I think I missed the part where we bombed Sri Lanka lol
Gid He’s right. He’s black, he’s from a different country and culture than the majority in the US. He’s hard working, all people love him and he’s making money by literally cooking in a park in the most expensive city of the country.
Gid He ain’t no gangbanger, not looking for easy bucks, just focused on his family and his job. “Systemic racism” is the excuse for people to justify their bad choices.
üh why is no one talking about the fact his daughter is a double major at columbia? that's so impressive
I’m Sri Lankan, and my uncle graduated from Columbia 3 years ago
Ali baba Nice!
First generation immigrants always have it hard, it's the second generation that makes it.
Because going to college and getting a major in indian family is very common 🤷🏻♂️ everyone is a graduate lol
Sumit Mitra word but imma sell drugs 😭
We must protect this man at all costs.
Wow.
He's pretty capable on his own....that's why he's where he is...
FireTide that man should be a national treasure
@FocusFanatic yeah that’s true
@FocusFanatic he is a Sri lankan
@FocusFanatic is every vendor as nice and has good ethics and values as this guy? If yes... Then we're all good. If not, PROTECT THIS GUY AT ALL COST!
You can tell that he was genuinely really emotional while talking about how much he loved the shop, his craft and the people. That kind of love and passion is priceless and really warmed my heart. Also, now I crave sf.
This is how you love and integrate properly into a country. More power to this man and his strong work ethic. He is a testament to his culture.
Well said.
This is how 95% of immigrants integrate you mean?
Yes
Tony Duran lots of immigrants have done this but asshole trump never gave credit
Yeah, only immigrants need to work and have work ethics.
"Because some students have no money." I felt that 😂 #strugglingcollegestudent
Same here
In this economy? you guys just plain sucks!
Welcome aboard!
Maann .... truth😊😊
❣️❣️❣️th-cam.com/video/fOaXkcxGuWQ/w-d-xo.html
This is the American dream! He came here with nothing and now he has a daughter who graduated from a top school with a degree in economics. Anything is possible if you set your mind to it!
And heart 2 it. Juzz sayn
big boy gustav well if u don’t try then u never will
@big boy gustav - i was wondering when someone is going to post something like that and here we go!
Why don't you stop bitching and inventing excuses about being unlucky etc and instead focus and work hard??
I despise spineless fucking useless blobs like you!!!! Always at a disadvantage while others are lucky while you're the one that gets and has nothing..poor me boohoo SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
DO YOU REALLY THINK HE HAD IT EASY FROM THE BEGINNING????
CAN YOUR TINY MIND NOT COMPREHEND WHAT IT MUST'VE TAKEN FOR HIM BUILD HIS LIFE IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY IN THOSE TIMES AND OPEN A BUSINESS AND RAISE A CHILD????
YOU'RE PATHETIC FUCKING MORON!!!!
This man is one example of how bitching and moaning and blaming invisible others never gets you anywhere, yet hard work and dedication and perseverance and humility and kindness and having tour priorities in order gets you happiness and pride and income and recognition.
big boy gustav he made his own luck. He said himself he had to struggle for years before he had his successful business
big boy gustav it’s called working hard this guy didn’t have any hand outs him and his family worked for what they have
Proud of you sir, love from Srilanka 🇱🇰

I love seeing how proud he is of what he's created, he deserves everything, what a pure soul.
Yes.He's Pure And Humble.He's Proud To Be An American Citizen.This Is The American Dream.
His smile is priceless when he says it’s his grandmother’s recipe with such pride.
you can tell hes very excited talking to the camera, super wholesome
Indian food is the only way to make me go vegan. It's so good you dont even know you're eating healthy!
Well the pint and a half of ghee in everything helps it go down smoothly I find. ;)
@@cgavin1 if you didn't know, ghee is actually good for our health if had in small amounts everyday
Ghee also isn't vegan
Indian food is far away from healthy.
@@SuhelPat it depends everwhere you will find unhelathy foods. Like if you eat very high oily indian food, it wont be good.
Being a strict vegetarian I have trouble with food when traveling internationally, NYC is one place I Don't need to worry about. Some day when I get a chance and when I have saved enough to afford a vacation in the US, I will visit this man, not just for the food, but for the great human being that he is. ❤️❤️ Hats off to you sir and loads of love from Tamil Nadu 😊😊🙏
3:00
" ya kno wha imma sayin "
pure NY guy.
"spicy as usual?"
-yeah yeah
"You got it brother!"
For some reason I love this 😅
All the vendors I go to regularly knows I love spicy food. Makes us feel closer to them in some way. ❤️
Everybody has that place they go to eat where they can say "the usual" and they know what they're talking about
I love street foods

Everything he’s ever done in his life is wrapped up in that smile when he talks about his daughter graduating Columbia with a double major.
Yeah
I love these stories! He seems like a genuinely kind person! Much continued success to this man!
As a Southern Indian, I can definitely attest that this man's dosas are the healthiest variants of regular dosas that we eat in Southern India. I've seen people from Northern India kill the healthy dosa by adding butter, cheese and other unhealthy food ingredients. This Sri Lankan man's dosas have taken the healthiness of dosas a step further.
Not always bro. Even Indians make better dosas.
@@myhomecountryindia5618 yeah south indians do😂
@gaming site As if India is your father's property.
Dosa is South Indian food. No one can claim it. No one makes it better than us South Indians LOL. North Indians can’t make food. Their food tastes bland mostly.
@@zuxic8124 south indian food is shitty AF , kabhi north indian khaa ke dekho
World needs more cheap quality vegan food like this. Don't stop.
firm1z yasssss!! Truth 🌱🧡🌱
john boss no u
Vegetarian not Vegan
@@nirmalyaroy7325 why not vegan?
@@profilepicture828 dosas usually use butter oil, so dosa is a vegetarian food,not vegan. Though you could request them not to use it.
What a fantastic story. And his daughter is a Economics Double Major from Columbia University !
Good to know.🤗🤐😜
