Saag Paneer from Orissa, Dobbs Ferry

Saag Paneer from Orissa, Dobbs Ferry

I was excited to dine at Orissa after hearing and reading so many good things from friends and publications like the NY Times. They were all right, the food was delicious.

Owner, Jill Borrelli, opened the shop in May and knows the neighborhood very well because she grew up in Dobbs Ferry. Families love J.J. Beans...but they don’t always come together, the parents come in the morning to start their day, and the kids come by after school for a snack. The fresh food is never wasted, anything left at … [Read more...]
