FLUSHING, NEW YORK, August 24, 2025 (Indian Eagle): India is home to many grand temple kitchens preparing and serving pure vegetarian meals to tens of thousands of devotees every day. Visitors are served food as holy prasad at the mega temple kitchens in India. Indians in America got the first Hindu temple restaurant in 1993. Located at Flushing in the New York City borough of Queens on Long Island across the East River from Manhattan, the Ganesh Temple Canteen is a most popular South Indian food hub for devotees and foodies alike. The cavernous basement of New York’s Ganesh Temple in Queens houses the self-service canteen which serves simple, delicious, authentic South Indian vegetarian dishes, as many as hundred, at very reasonable rates. The canteen operates from 8.30 AM to 9 PM on all days.

In contrast to the intricately sculpted pillars and the delicately ornate facade upstairs, the Ganesh Temple Canteen offers a no-frills space where a filling meal feels like a divine blessing. What started as a kitchen to prepare naivedyam (sacred culinary offering) for the presiding Deities of New York’s Ganesh Temple in Flushing has evolved into a family restaurant for both the temple visitors and passersby. New York’s Ganesh Temple Canteen in Flushing, Queens is one of the best South Indian restaurants in New York City. It has earned rave reviews from eminent food critics, mentions in leading community portals including Travel Beats, and features in the US media. Since its opening in 1993, the canteen has grown rapidly with the support of temple visitors. Besides serving over hundred dishes round the year, the canteen also caters to Indian community events and festivities in and around the Big Apple.
