I thoroughly enjoyed the food at this place. The service was excellent, and the portions were generous. However, parking was a challenge—it took some time to find a spot, and it was paid parking. Despite that, I highly recommend this spot, especially for authentic South Indian cuisine.

Came here for my Mom's birthday as a group and had such a great meal. That atmosphere was so welcoming and homely. True food from the soul. Left with full stomachs and leftovers too, would definitely recommend for an authentic experience

A really enjoyable meal, good service, very polite and accommodating. Suitable for vegetarian, fish or meat. I had the vegetarian Thai which is all inclusive and I ordered a masala tea.

First time trying Southern Indian food, it was delicious. The lunch deal is amazing, generous portion and great value for money. The mini thali is such a delight for your taste buds and sight. Even the main menu offers pocket-friendly and large options to choose. The waiter is super nice and attentive. I highly recommend this place!

Very good food and service. Prawn dosa was something new and unique for me and I must say that I wasn't betrayed for trusting it out. Rest other foods were also as good and equal.

Fantastic place to taste south Indian food. All the ones we ordered are really good. Staffs are very friendly and polite. Very good atmosphere as well. I highly recommend the starters platter that has chicken 65, lamb chukka , fish fry and prawns. The price is very reasonable and the quantity is very good for the price. Highly recommended.
