It was surprising to find an AUTHENTIC SOUTH INDIAN RESTAURANT in NYC. I literally had “BACK TO HOME” feel after a long period. I would recommend to try their South Indian Thali and Dosa’s. The food preparation and presentation was awesome. Friendly and warm welcoming gesture from Staff. Finished off with their excellent Masala Chai that had perfect texture and flavor.
September 2025
Very slow service. They open pretty late, but even then many dishes weren't ready or available. Uthappam, ghee dosa, idli-vada sambar was good. Mysure Rava Dosa, and Madurai Malli was very thick and unnecessarily heavy. We ordered coffee twice; they did not get it the second time. Overall, I had a very average experience.

Was in New York during 2018 for 3 months. This place served authentic Indian food. Loved the Ambience. Sitting in New York and having a dosa all the while listening to Ilayaraja sir's song was an unforgettable experience💞
