Bodhgaya


This new vegetarian restaurant across the street from the Thai Temple plates a good selection of dosas, as well as pizzas, sandwiches, burgers and noodles. The service is prompt and friendly, and the split-level decor is stylish, with several bestselling books published over the decades pinned to the ceiling.
