“We've eaten here a few times so far the food has been tasty and hot! They did switch their menu up and no longer carry the mysore Masala dosa, and instead I tried the Korma, which was not too my liking because I had my heart set on Mysore. Otherwise still great food. Menu changes happen and you do not have to love all the things on the menu. :)“

“The fusion dishes gave me pause, but after trying a few of the street food options, appetizers, and drinks I loved it all!
Really love the 1947 chole (pictured) and the other one that's like it but with soft rolls.

Only downside is slightly high prices but for most of the things I tried the portions were great.“
