My go to place for dosas (crepe) and filter coffee! The sambar (lentil gravy) is authentic and the crispiness in my favorite Rava masala dosa is a deal-breaker! Also highly recommend the Goat biryani which is delectable. Ask for your level of spice preference.
I ordered Chicken Beryani and Eggplant Curry. I loved both. Tasty, not really hot, but you’ll love all spices and herbs. I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you very much!
Authentic South Indian cuisine and excellent service. Loved the buttermilk drink was so good reminded me of backhome. I'm definitely going back
Food was delicious! And the server Sahil was so sweet and fast with service. We got our utensils and waters immediately after being seated, and were even expedited an appetizer earlier than expected. Cute little spot, I really appreciate the art they have up on the walls. It’s a little run down, but for the food, service, and maybe a little bit of privacy and intimacy w your introverted mate, this spot is perfect. Oh and they checked if the food was dairy free for me beforehand which I really appreciated. (Worth the price it don’t break the bank btw! A dosa is like 10)
We found this place by accident. My wife and I were really hungry after visiting the Burnbay village museum for the Christmas Tree Lighting special. We were so pleasantly surprised at how authentic and amazing the food was. It felt similar to what we were having in the middle east. It made us feel nostalgic for a restaurant we loved to eat at in Bahrain. We will definitely visit more often! It's our new spot.
This place has the best south Indian food with great service. I had the spring masala dosa with falooda drink, both were super delicious. Server was so sweet, handling customers with a lot of care . This is my new favorite restaurant to try more items from the menu. Excellent food
Had Chicken Kotthu and asked them to make it spicy. It was super spicy and fresh. A little bit of coriander leaves were added on top. It came with a tasty gravy. Great portion that I shared with another person. The other day, I tried their Rasam, awesome in flavours and heaven on a rainy day. Poori and Parata are a bit oily, but tasty. I was eager to try their idli, but they said that it's not available. Update : On my second visit, tried Chicken pepper fry with extra spicy. They delivered it as expected high level of spice and tasted great with rice. But be prepared for many No No. Rasam wasn’t available. Rasamalai and Faluda drink were also not available. So left the place without any desserts.
Great service. Food was quick to arrive. The chef was the only one working when I went there. He kept checking on everyone if everything is good. It’s a rare service now a days. Greeted everyone nicely. Food was delicious. Highly recommended.
