Restaurant was completely empty except for one table occupied but the host offered us seat next to toilet. We felt it was because of our brown skin.

Friendly owner and staff. Some of the best Indian food I have tried in the area. Spice levels are somewhat inconsistent and the menu is somewhat limited in choices of protein for each dish. Overall positive experience and would plan to return.

They didn't give a table for us. They said they have no food even though it was one hour before closing time, they hung an open board, were giving takeaways and twenty plus people were eating inside.

We love the manager/owner who presides over the tables with a mix of friendle serviceand grumpy man. Food is great in a nice, casual atmosphere. We come her often

The food was surprisingly filling for such small portions and, for the taste you're getting, the price is not bad either (typically somewhere under $20 for an entree and rice). Service was alright and the ambience of the place make it perfect for a date night.
Vegetarian options: There's a lot of them -- definitely some good items to, like the Paneer Butter Masala

Even with a reservation, it took 30 minutes for us to be seated, and another 30 for someone to take our order. The food finally arrived, 90 minutes after our reservation time. This was on a Saturday night, but the wait time was ridiculous. We really only had an hour to eat before they abruptly turned up the lights at 10:00 to let us know it was time for us to leave. They were out of pakodas and dosa, so we ordered samosas, which were frozen in the middle. The other parties were so loud that we couldn't hear each other or the servers, and the family next to us was served before us even though we placed our order before they did. I've had better experiences at this place in the past, but even without the wait time issues, the staff have always been pushy and unfriendly. Much better service at other similar establishments in town.

Myself and my family had been to Chennai chimney . We all loved appetizers, tamater soup , Chole bhature. Briysani was not good (it was not like biryani taste , chicken was not cooked fully)

The best south Indian food we had.....never had such an authentic Chennai style food....we ordered filter coffee, lamb dosa, crispy dosa and Chilli lotus.....everything was mind blowing. Service was fast and staff was very very nice.After long, I found perfect place for South Indian food. It has become my fav place to go to.
Good food but small portions. Also they are always very visibly understaffed. Took like 10 minutes for someone to even acknowledge us at the dront. Vegan options were super tasty- Sweet corn soup was very tasty and tasted super fresh! Lotus root was so crispy and perfectly balanced sweet snd spicy. The veg pakora were very interesting ive never seen them made this way! Not sure if i’ll return because service was slow but definitely for takeout-yum!

Liked the food, the interior is cozy, it's one of my fav place to eat Indian. It's little different than most Indian place, the vibe is different. Food quality is good. You can have good time...

Food was good. Would have given a 5 star……We went for a birthday lunch at 1:00pm on a weekday. The restaurant was empty but the server denied our requested table. Felt a little bit rushed as the check was presented before we finished our entree. One guest was turned down at 1:49pm. Will visit again to see if the service has improved. ??

We often order takeout from this place, and the food is really great, every time. Today was the first time when we actually went there for lunch. The service was very slow. We had to go look for our waiter at some point because we got tired of waiting for him. Also, you can smell the bathroom in the dining area, which is not pleasant at all. I will keep ordering food from them for sure, but probably I will avoid dining in.

Good tasting Indian food. The naan that they had was fluffy and delicious. Their curries tasted great. Prices were reasonable and portions were good. Good place to go to in Princeton!
The South Indian authenticity was missing.
