The food was perfect. Reminded me of the Dosa's at Bangalore. Sneha and Harman were very helpful in guiding us through the various options in the menu. 🙏😊

The food here really amazing, this is my second visit this is the place i guess which has the best benne dosa in town. They are providing some good quality food and service which really deserves an appreciation. A special mention to rushi for the service. See you soon again for that crispy dosa!!!❤️
