The food was good, I ordered Podi Masala dosa and it was perfect, the spice level and content and reasonably priced. The Sweet Lassi reminded me of Mumbai. With all those things, the ambiance is bit boring with no windows and you can see grocery stuff from the dining table, constantly reminding you to shop instead of enjoying the meal.
Honestly I was about to walk out and never return when I got my food. The space doesn't have much charm and I waited 10-15 min for my dosa when I was the only customer there. Luckily, the spring dosa was excellent. It was large and filled with veggies without being greasy. The vada was also large and soft. Yummy food makes up for the lack of ambiance.
I absolutely loved it! We tried the Mysore Masala and Tomato Masala Dosas, and both were fantastic, but the Tomato Masala Dosa was especially outstanding. The sambhar and chutneys were delicious as well. They even made the dosas with less oil at our request, which I really appreciated. After trying many places in the area, this is definitely going to be my new go-to spot!
