I was staying very close to this place whilst on holiday and decided to try it as I was craving for South Indian food

As soon as I came in the whole place was full but I managed to get a seat for myself.

The ambiance was nice and the server was extremely friendly and got me extra yoghurt which I needed with my food thinking it will be very spicy but was moderately spiced

The food tasted authentic and delicious. A little pricey though .

There is paid parking close by.

Location - it's near the Fisherman's wharf and lots of public transport also available

Sorry forgot to take pictures

Terrible food. Disgusting place with zero cleanliness. Flies buzzing around you while you are eating. How does a place that serve South Indian food go wrong with every chutney and also sambhar? We left most of our food. Went to another place for lunch. No parking which is understandable for that area. Would definitely never return.

The food was decently good,
But the quantity was very small the smallest in the bay area like it was for a 3 year old,
And the mutton curry had very tiny 3 to 4 pc of mutton, and the front desk guy told me chicken or mutton u will get the same quantity of meat and the price is same 🤣.
I didn't understand the logic.
The food is good for children each portion is good for a 3 year old.
Most expensive Indian food, yet nothing Inside.

Love love love their food. It had real authentic taste. Since abroad for 18 years, I had this authentic, real south Indian taste after 25 years. This place is must visit if you want to have real southIndian taste.

Stepping into this spot, we were excited to dive into some comforting South Indian thali, but much to our surprise, it wasn’t on the menu. That initial letdown aside, the experience turned out to be decent in its own way. The menu still offered plenty to choose from, and every dish we tried was packed with flavor—though be warned, the spice levels are quite mild, so spice lovers might want to ask for a bit more heat. We ordered the masala dosa, kothu parotta, biryani and poori—everything was tasty! They even took some custom orders and were very friendly and accommodating.

The ambiance was simple yet quirky, with a small hall that featured a stage and, believe it or not, a disco ball! It’s an interesting setup with a lot of old pictures of the city of Madras a.k.a Chennai and many more old pictures of actors, singers, cricketers who in some way have a connection to the southern city that gives the space a good feel. However, a word of caution: the restroom definitely needs some attention. It was far from the standard you’d expect, and I hope they invest in some maintenance soon.

Overall, while we missed out on the thali, the food we did enjoy was delicious, and the place has potential with just a little more care to detail. Oh, and they even have a small bar at the entrance!
