A spacious and peaceful venue coupled with attentive and friendly staff makes the initial experience super appealing. However, the food itself is largely forgettable with minimal flavor, even down to the rice which is quite a feat.

Typically with restaurants that have North and South Indian dishes, only one excellent and the other so-so. This is the case here. The south Indian dishes were excellent. The samosas were also excellent. We went on a Friday night and they were out of papad and coke. Garlic naan was extremely dry.

Me and my husband visited this restaurant for first time ,and was the worse Indian food we have ever had ,the rice looks like was from fewdays ago ,and chicken was so hard.,no wonder the restaurant was empty.we order soda and the serverd it warm. I made mistakes by having lunch there since as I entered there wasn't any customer,I should guessed isnot good restaurant.waste of money.

Parking: It was hard to find space.

The food wasn't authentic Indian food starting with appetizer chicken pakora & samosas were soggy & quantity wise not worth it.In Masala dosa where potatoes was hard & not cooked properly.All the items we tried are overpriced.The service was slow & the staffs were not attentive.They have a large dine in area which can accommodate large groups.

Amazing food, amazing service, and incredible atmosphere. Tastes like home cooked food—not too oily, right spice level, and made with fresh ingredients. Vikas was our server and brought us free gulag jamuns for dessert! I highly recommend you come here for dinner lunch or anything in between.

We had dinner here on a weekday. The vada sambar and Masala dosa were tasty , and fresh. The serving portions are generous. The waiter brought us a special ginger chutney that was very delicious. Great service and nice spacious restaurant. We definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for authentic tasting dosas.
