As someone who grew up in South India, I mean when I say this is my favorite Indian restaurant in Philadelphia. The biryani is a must. Service is great. Dosas are well done. Ratan is a lovely manager. Gobi dishes are a lovely plus. They even catered for my wedding and the food was a crowd highlight! Nothing but good things to say about these folks.

Ordered the Malabar fish curry and Thalassery Chicken curry only to regret after the very first bite. I'm convinced the chef has never tried these dishes in their original form because they tasted nothing like they should. Restaurant management- please stop selling on false pretext. The mango lassi and nannari sarbath were good though, hence the 2 stars.

The worst thali I have ever eat in my life. Curries are not cooked properly and they curries talk like heck worst than the original taste. Waste of time. Even the stater is too oily. Every thing seems like they have taken from freezer and just reheated it. The manager is not even responding proper and the food took too long to get ready.

We ordered chicken biryani. We wanted to order boneless chicken biryani which is now not available anymore. We ordered also kutthu paratha which was average, so was the masala dosa. We ordered the appetizer chilli paratha which was super unique and very tasting. Punigulu were also very good. We were very disappointed with not having the boneless chicken biryani and with the quality of kotthu paratha.

Hands down, the best South Indian/ Tamil Nadu cuisine in the area- a much more authentic experience than bigger South Indian restaurant chains in the tristate area! This particular location has a lot of positives. The food is GREAT! Tastes just like the food back at home. The staff is extremely polite and attentive even on their busiest days. The manager, Mr. Rathan never fails to acknowledge and greet us every time we visit (which we do a little too frequently off late, because we can’t seem to get enough). The head chef, Mr. Dhanapal has a magical touch with the food! During our most recent visit, we tried the tiffin combo which was exactly what we needed after a long day at work. All the dishes were great, but the pongal and bread halwa took a special place in our hearts! If you’re looking for a comforting South Indian fix, this is your place to go. Totally recommend!!
