Excellent and delicious South Indian food! We recently catered for two events from them, including a live Dosa station. Very responsive and friendly staff. The food was on time and everyone enjoyed it very much.

Had an excellent experience both in person and via catering. Quality and taste are a 11/10 for me. Received a lot of compliments from guests for the catered lunch and dinner. The catering menu has very interesting items that are not the usual kind we find around. The person who assisted with catering was patient and made the process really simple. Will recommend this place a 100%!

We had catered paruppu vada from Kovai Cafe for a festival event. The item was well appreciated by all. The restaurant owners/management were very friendly and helpful. They were very responsive, polite, flexible and had the order ready on time.
