Order #723512494 (skip the dishes) — November 2, 2025
I ordered two Chicken 65 Biryanis, and unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. The rice was very dry, and there was very little chicken — most pieces were just coated in thick flour batter rather than actual meat. The egg is over overcooked. On top of that, the raita was spilled inside the packaging, making it messy.
Considering the quality and portion, the price felt too high compared to what this dish usually costs elsewhere. Overall, I expected a much better meal for the price I paid.
Not as expected, sambhar is tooo diluted.
Medhu vada not good, coconut chutney is not good

Had a delicious light lunch here (veg). I wasn’t sure about portion sizes (I didn’t want to be faced with a huge amount of food) so asked advice and the server’s suggestion was perfect!
Price was ridiculously cheap for how good the food was.

Maybe the best South Indian place in the city. Medu vada with its sambar and chutneys were fresh and hot. We tried two kinds of dosa - paper and rava - both were excellent. I’m excited to go back and try more.

I’ve only ever gotten takeout but every time I’m so glad I did. I’ve never gotten a bad dish and the staff is so kind And helpful. The curries are all good and the parotta is impossible to stop eating. Great dosa.

Water like chutneys and rava masala dosa was soggy. Have tried multiple places in Toronto definitely will not recommend this place. Only plus is that the manager was polite not the food.

Ordered idlis to home. Really Really bad. They were so hard. Will not recommend to anyone. We had idlis in restaurant once and there also not that great.

I had the Ghee Mysore Dosa today and it was absolutely delicious! The dosa was perfectly crisp on the outside, soft inside, and had that authentic, rich ghee flavor that truly stood out. A big thank you to Chef Pandian for preparing such a flavorful and perfectly balanced dish — it really felt like a taste of South India.
Also, special mention to Athel, our attendent, who was extremely polite, attentive, and made the whole dining experience even better with her friendly service.
Overall, fantastic food and great hospitality — I’ll definitely be coming back!
