Amma's South Indian Cuisine in Philly is known for its delicious Dosas, Idli, and Chutneys. The special Dosa and filter coffee are highly recommended. While they offer some North Indian dishes, their unique South Indian options, like baby eggplant tamarind stew and kothu parotta, are exceptional. The restaurant has mastered a combination of an authentic Indian experience and fine dining expectations, creating a memorable experience.
Customers have praised the sweet and great atmosphere, as well as the timely service and great recommendations from the staff. The drink menu is equally impressive. The menu is extensive, and the restaurant can be very accommodating, especially for plant-based diners. Customers have enjoyed the Amma's special martini and found the food reminiscent of home.
The restaurant is known for its authentic South Indian cuisine, with quick service and decent prices. The Mysore masala dosa was described as crispy, and the chutneys accompanying it as flavorful. The filter coffee is a must-order. The staff was helpful, with a special mention for the excellent service and hospitality of Maitri.
