I was craving South Indian food and my husband took our family here. We found parking right outside. The server was fantastic, and fast. The food came out fast and was absolutely delicious. The mehdu vada, masala dosa and chole batura was fantastic and my kids and husband loved the cheese dosa. The filtered coffee was delicious and strong. I used to drive to eat this food in Edison but I don’t have to travel that far anymore. Great place for Indian food, especially South Indian...

A little gem in the Garfield town for South Indian delicacies. The food is reasonably priced with great service. The entire restaurant is vegetarian only so they were able to easily accommodate jain food. We tried chai, mirchi bhajji, paneer makhani, rawa dosa. Other friends said their mysore masala and spring dosa was also good.

I’ve been here a couple of times, and the food has been great each time. It’s a no frills restaurant so you should know you’re not going for a 5 star “experience”.

I got the paneer dosa with extra paneer and they didn’t cheap out. My dosa was stuffed with quite a bit paneer and it tasted great.

My one criticism, is that we get flimsy plastic cups for water and paper dishes. That should be upgraded.
