We had the lunch thali on Sunday , it had a fry , onion pakodi ( was really good) , three curries, pappu , sambhar , Rasam , curd , rice , sweet , pickle and papad. All the items were room temperature. We substituted chapati to poori (they were pretty oily ). The taste was good (solid 6/10) but the quantity of curries and rice was little in my opinion. For smaller appetite people it might be okay , but I don’t think it would be enough for men. and they said it was additional charge for even for papad. Other than the quantities, it was all together good !
This place had perhaps the best Chole Poori I’ve ever had - the fried bread was incredibly light and airy. The spinach masala dosa was excellent, and the chili bhaji was super flavorful. The sambar in the sambar vada was rich and spicy.
Vegetarian options: All-vegetarian, with many vegan items

Extremely poor customer service. Food took over 45 mins to arrive. We asked for mild spice level for the Indo-Chinese dishes and they came out spicy. The person taking the order didn’t know the menu herself. Very disappointing experience.
Prices not listed on the menu. For dosa that tasted average was charged $13. When asked, was told that the management will change. But if that’s the case why charge so much? The restrooms were the worst. Very over priced and poorly maintained place.
Our visit was during lunch time on a Saturday. Service was excellent. Out of six of us two were vegan and rest vegetarian.We had a variety of dishes and all were good. Thali for vegan came with yogurt and gulab jamun but the waiter was quick to take them out and offered to others in the group.The Menu has lots of varieties.We will certainly visit again
One of the best restaurant in town serving authentic indian food.We ordered masala dosa,idly and vadaThey were fresh and taste was very good.We will definitely visit again
Parking: Open space parking
Very tasteless food, poori had oil packed inside and oil dripped out! And for everything the waiter kept saying the kitchen is very busy! Who cares? Give better quality food! Idlis were cold and dried on the edges, rava dosa batter was old.
The food was absolutely delicious and I find no faults in the menu or food itself. But when I came in I asked if they had butter paneer, they said yes, then recommended a dish with a variety of small portions because it had butter paneer in it. My partner wanted butter paneer only so he ordered butter paneer by itself. When our food arrived, there was no butter paneer in my platter. I asked the server and he said "oh it has paneer on the platter but it's different from butter paneer" but I literally said I wanted butter paneer and that was the reason he recommended the platter with butter paneer on it and then there was no butter paneer. Later on, we got the check, and I told him that if they're not the same it doesn't really make sense to recommend someone orders the platter if they ask for butter paneer, and then he just said it's paneer again, maybe he just really didn't understand, but my point is don't trust the recommendations of the server. Just order what you want to eat. They asked if we wanted coffee or tea on the house but by then we were already full so we left. It was a misunderstanding but like, it's not what I asked for and it was disappointing. But again, everything we got (and I had some of my partners butter paneer it was perfect) was absolutely delicious there is nothing wrong with the food at all.
Vegetarian options: Everything here is vegetarian.
Parking: Parking is right out front.
Dietary restrictions: I can't digest meat and most dairy, I was able to find safe foods to eat that tasted delicious.
Very friendly staff as the best available vegetarian options around this area. I wish they made better chutneys. But that's the story with all Indian restaurants in the USA. They make terrible chutneys compared to what you get in India.

The sambar is very yummy and the food is good. Not much crowded. Ven Pongal is not that great.
It's hard finding great Indian food, but this restaurant had it!! I had the Paneer Butter Masala and it was magnificent! My husband had the Mango Lassi and it was delicious as well (I forgot what he had for an entree, but he really liked it too). I normally don't like spicy food (I told them I wanted something really mild) so they brought a small little cup for me to taste the Masala first (I did not request it, they just brought it which was really nice!) If it was mild enough for me, you won't have a problem with the food if you really don't like anything spicy.The service was great, and the food came out quick.Really liked coming here, we were very satisfied with this choice :)
Absolutely delicious dosas, and the staff are always friendly!
Amazing food…I’ve been here twice and only tried the South Indian yet and I can tell you with certainty “it is delicious”. The sambhar and chutneys are really good along with the variety of dosas we’ve had. Mysore masala, Onion Rava and plain dosa, the idlies are amazing too. Not to miss the awesome peanut chutney that goes so well with the idlies. The taste and spices will truly tingle your authentic taste budsThis place is a must visit if you’d like a nice South Indian tiffin meal ??
First of all they have ample amount of seating.We stopped by for dinner and following were the items we ordered.Onion tomato uttapam it was bit underxooked but overall not bad.Masala Dosa was good with decent quantity of potato sabziSambar vada and medu vada both were equally good.Samosa chat the quantity was good with above average taste.Their sambar was really good and all the items were served with chutney’s.Last item on our menu was Filter coffee which was good and refreshing.
