Tumbi Craft offers a delicious South Indian menu with vegetarian options, including classic dishes like masala dosa and Dal fry. The sides, such as the chilli garlic chutney, are highly recommended. The restaurant serves a range of dishes, including tandoori chicken, butter chicken, and salmon kebab, all cooked to perfection. The portions are generous, and the food is flavorful with subtle, balanced spicing and some heat, as noted in recent reviews. The idli fries and chicken biryani are highly praised, with the idli fries being described as amazing. The Paper Dosa is crispy and full of flavor, while the Daal Bukhara has a rich, hearty taste and comes with delicious sauces. Some dishes like chicken malai tikka may be a bit dry and lack spices. Service is friendly overall, though some reviews mention it could be more attentive. The dining room is clean and inviting, creating a warm atmosphere, though outdoor seating can be limited in colder weather when heaters are not working. Prices are reasonable, with a meal for three including appetizers, entrees, sides, and beers costing around $97. Decorations are simple, but the focus on the food makes up for it, making Tumbi Craft a recommended spot for flavorful meals and a cozy dining experience.
