Porottas South Indian Cuisine

The food was so delicious and the menu clearly marked what the vegan options were. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

The staff is welcoming and the atmosphere is also nice but we go to restaurants for the food…that is where for me its a big no…firstly everything that we ordered starting form idli dosa to biriyani was served cold which baffled me how can dosa be served cold…the chutneys was cold out of the freezer…the sambar was the only side that came out decent…the biriyani looked promising but as i am vegetarian i cannot comment on the taste…another thing that really made me think about the whole experience was they even charge for a sprinkle of onion,tomato…i have never experienced anything like this in any restaurant around here…payment warning…we were charged extra for paying on card…so all in all we left the place with a bitter taste about the management but the staff tried their level best to make things palatable…so the one star goes only to them😀😀😀

1 Star — Because Google still refuses to offer negative numbers

We walked into POROTTAS / The Grand Indian Cuisine (9600 Fairway Dr) expecting to bite, chew, savor, and swallow some delicious food…
Instead, we ended up swallowing frustration, disbelief, and a whole lot of pride. Basically everything except food.

At the 35‑minute mark, when I asked about the delay, the main host/server immediately tried to throw another staff member under the bus — “Oh, they must’ve forgotten your order.”
Adorable. Except at the 55‑minute mark, when I reminded him again, I also reminded the gentleman with snakes tattooed all over his right forearm that he was the one who took our order. Not the poor person he tried to blame.

And right on cue — as if the universe wanted comedic timing — the kitchen finally walked out with our food. An hour later. My kids were basically turning into pumpkins.

So I made a sarcastic comment: “Oh wow, finally — we were about to leave.”
And this man, without an ounce of apology, goes:

“I can cancel the rest of your dinner order if you want.”

Oh, we wanted.
We gladly did.

We finished the appetizers (which only arrived after the first complaint), and THANKS TO THE STAFF AT The Curry Leaves (6502 Lonetree Blvd) whom I called while kids finished their appetizers and salvaged the night like responsible parents who refuse to let hunger win with an order of 2 YUMMY MASALA DOSAS, which we craved the whole evening :)

I will definitely miss getting the call alerts from the POROTTAS staff and making the trip to the restaurant whenever oldmonk beer became available!!
But hey — pride is expensive, I guess.

So thank you, POROTTAS, for all the yummy meals over the years. Truly.
But after this experience? My family won’t be coming back.

Because my pride is a bitter pill to swallow — and unfortunately, it was the only thing served on time

I was disappointed to see that I ordered Mysore masala dosa for takeout, and received paneer masala something dosa.

Food was just fine but I had to toss most of it as it was too bland for me.

They have plenty of vegan options to choose from. I got the Chettinad Mushroom Masala and it was absolutely delicious! I got the medium heat and I was still sweating but it was a good sweat. Garlic naan was also on point. Very impressed overall. The water comes at the table in a pop top glass bottle.

Save yourself time and money and do not go here. It took an hour to get the food after order.

I wish Google had an option to give negative stars.

The food was subpar, the owner had no idea what she was doing; and they were extremely understaffed.

I ordered coffee and it was the worse thing I had ever drank.

All in all, please save yourself both time and money and do not go here.

Food not good, careless about reviews
So the food is not very good here, once i tried masala dosa here and potatoes means masala had no salt and they said we make it without salt ad today after a long time i had veg parrotta salan today and salan was nothing but just water, common thing is that food was not good and their behavior specially lady on counter when i told her about that and she carelessly says i will let the know, no apology, not concerned and the customer didn’t like food quality, all she was concerned about counting money. So will never come back.

Absolutely loved this place! The dosa was one of the best I’ve ever had—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly made. You can truly taste the authenticity in every bite. The customer service was also outstanding. Tisha went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience—she was kind, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to everyone I know!
