Had dinner at Nilgiris. We ordered ghee dosa, rava dosa, pongal, and onion dosa. The rava dosa was crispy and tasty, and the other dosas were also well prepared. However, the pongal was not good and lacked flavor.

All the items were served with three different chutneys and sambar, which paired well with the dosas. The chutney portions could have been a little more. Overall, an average South Indian meal.

Do not order Chilli Parotta. It’s too seeet and savoury. Didn’t like it. Vada , idlie and dosa are very good. Coffee is the best. I hope the owner read this and do good job on chilli parotta.

Awesome south Indian food but service is not great. Big group orders are given preference. While we waited for our food, a group which came later got before us.
But the food is really good.
