I have been to this restaurant for delicious South Indian food and Indian street food. I have also utilized them for catering for both North and South Indian cuisine. The service is professional, the owner/manager Kamal is easy to reach and work with, and the prices are also affordable. I recently had a gathering for the NY’s with a diverse range of people, ethnically and racially and with different dietary restrictions. The food was enjoyed by all. Highly recommend this place...

Amazing dosa. I'd also highly recommend their chaat. The food here has wonderfully simple and satisfying flavors, and it really hits the spot when you're craving nostalgic, homemade Indian food.

Popped into Uru‑Swati for lunch on a Saturday—grabbed the Paper Masala Dosa and a side of Samosa Chaat. Dosa was crispy and massive, chutneys hit just right, chaat had killer flavor. Staff were super friendly and the chill Devon Ave vibe felt homey. Kitchen wasn’t rushed, perfect pace. Such a gem for veggie Indian—already plotting my return for palak paneer.
