“Best south-Indian restaurant in ottawa. Food was delicious. Worth every penny. Met Sundari and family, whole family was soft- spoken and was so delighted to see people tasting this delicious meal. Will recommend everyone to try this restaurant and support small family owned business in ottawa“

“In terms of service, It's rare to get to experience such hospitality. I don't know the name but our server was excellent with how he made sure everything was okay and we were served in the best way possible.
The place is well decorated and pleasing to the eyes.
I found the food to be good but not great. No dish in particular that I would recommend however I believe Thalis would be the one to try if you're here.
Overall, my experience was awesome especially cause of the service.“

“from just yesterday: Great experience overall, once again! We came here last year around this time (we live in Boston but come here to visit relatives) and during our visit we opted to come here again. Everything was again very good. The naan is superb, the KFC (kerala fried chicken) is kitschy but very tasty! Everything across the board was delicious except for the sauce that came with the scallops (which wasn't bad but it seemed odd, no one knew what to make of it and the person eating that dish avoided the sauce). Service was a little slower this time, but that's like most places these days that are suffering from not having enough staff. Ambiance is very pretty, understated, and nice - still a bit noisy so I'd still like to see more sound absorbers. The ones they have are great, you don't notice them, but they might be too high up to make a big difference.
We'll definitely be back again, hope it's still here next year!

Review below was from early December, 2023: The service was exceptional and the visual ambiance was wonderful. The host came over several times to check in on us, which was very sweet. The restaurant is so nice that it feels intimate, but the place was full of people and conversation which did make it difficult to hear each other. I appreciated the sound absorbers on the walls as they did help to dampen the overall noise of conversations from other tables. I wonder if more sound absorbers around table barriers would help as well.

Food was very good. We ordered the kfc appetizer as well as the pappadum, and for dinners, we ordered the chef special (lamb shank), mushroom curry, beef & potato curry, and chicken biryani. Everything tasted very fresh, not heavy, and very unique! How could I forget -- we also ordered parotta (naan). The parotta was the BEST we have ever had anywhere. I would go back just for this.

The chicken and the beef were a bit overcooked in our opinion, but maybe that is the kerala style? We felt the meat could have been a little more tender if cooked a bit less. The lamp shank could actually have used a bit more cooking to help it fall off the bone more. The mushroom curry was spot on.

Overall, the place deserves 5 stars. Everyone in the party was very happy and we will all come back again when we can.“
