Good eatery for South Indian cuisine. The doses, sambar everything is excellent along with great service.
It was such a wonderful experience to have our party food catered from Venakkam PDX. Food was PERFECT, everyone from the party loved the food. They made sure to stay connected throughout the planning of the catering and provided clear information on quantity of the food, spice level, and time schedule, which really helped me plan the event well. They delivered the food on time, and helped us set it up as well. I cannot be happier to have selected their service, I highly recommend...read full review
Classic South Indian food, nothing special, but great if you’re looking for that style. Mostly veg.
Table seating was chaotic.
