Wonderful experience of the dosas full menu is excellent and taste of chutney and sambar is too good
Food was tasty and no complaints on that. But this low rating is mainly for the unhygienic practices I’ve seen.
1. They keep the prepared food items from kitchen in a small area for the servers to serve it to customers. That area is small with black curtains on either side. It is dirty and items like dosas which extends out of the plates easily touches the dirty cloth. So a good portion of the dosa we got were not consumable because of this. It becomes even more of a problem when they keep multiple items in that area as cloth just stays on top of the food in such cases.
2. On top of this, they had bill receipts on one side of this area. The food is touching these receipts too most of the time. This is also not hygienic. Why to keep the receipts there when the space is already small
3. For coffee, they’re giving sugar in a big bowl, which is passed on from one customer to another. This is also not a good practice as kids may take it using their hand and this will be then passed on to others. Also this sugar bowl is kept in front of customers for a long time before taking it back. This also should be avoided. If possible, use sugar packets. Otherwise give the sugar in smaller cups like how chutney is served. If someone needs more sugar, let them get one more cup.
4. Talking about chutney, they keep it open in the cups and prefill lot of cups. It is on they way where customers go to wash. If you want to pre-fill, keep it closed or in a place where not a lot of people walks in and out.
Altogether it is concerning that some basic cleanliness is not considered. I hope owner looks at these issues and take necessary steps to keep it clean. I’ll return after some time to see if there are any improvements to the way they’re handling it.

This place is our favorite the moment with think about South Indian veg food.
I am a fan of their mysore masala and guntur ghee Karam dosai. My family also likes the idly combo and my kid never misses the rose milk.
The service and the value for money provided by them - no other place in town can match with.
Overall I recommend this place for anyone carving for authentic South Indian vegetarian food

We absolutely love this restaurant! The South Indian cuisine here is consistently outstanding—especially the idly, podi idly, dosa, and pongal, which are all incredibly delicious and authentic. Each dish bursts with flavor and is clearly made with care. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which greatly enhances the overall experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for tasty South Indian dishes!

Soft fluffy idlis, crispy dosas, and tasty chutneys—just like back home. Sambar is perfect and service is friendly. Simple place with authentic South Indian flavors.

We ordered catering here for navratri. They took our order but they gave a different food which is not at all what we ordered. At the last minute, they make a mess and corner us to try to sell their cheap and easy or common food stuff to us. Of course, as a customer nobody wants to fight with them at the last minute with guests at the occasion, right? So, without any option, we had to consume what they gave with lots of disappointment. Then, next day, when we spoke to them about it they are asking if they can take back their food and refund money which is their way of cheating people in a smart way. Do not ever order anything from them. Then, ur party or occasion will be a mess on the food part. They will quote a price to satisfy you, get your order but then they will make a complete different order which is profitable for them but it will be loss for the customer. Stay away from their catering!
We were welcomed immediately upon entrance by the boss? I think. Him and the waiter were so nice. I wasn’t sure what some of the items were and the waiter took his time to explain to us what each thing was that we inquired about. We ordered the madras coffee and masala chai and it was PERFECT nice and strong! The food was amazing the sauces tasted freshly made and everything was finger licking look good! So delicious! I will definitely come back here!

Food was not great in general. Not hygenic. Sambhar was stale. And they were not concerned about the customer complaints.
