Consistently great tasting food that is soothing to the stomach. They live up to their name and serve thali even on weekdays for lunch+dinner which is impressive and is value for money! Also, bumped into the gentleman owner Mr. Srikumar today and requested him to keep continuing this great effort and service!

One of the best places for authentic south Indian foods be it idly , dosa , or meals. The meals is very versatile , looks very hyginecally prepared and absolutely the best tasting. The staff are very polite , smiling and courteous and very responsive. My fav South Indian Restaraunt in the PNW

Decent food. Really bad service and experience.
Very limited sambar was given with 2 idli and 1 vada and when asked to give more, the person on the food counter started arguing by that it is not unlimited and this is the best one can do. Are we supposed to eat just idli without sambar? Pathetic!

We visited this restaurant as a group of four and ordered five tiffin items. While the dosa itself tasted good, the overall experience was disappointing due to poor service. The coconut chutney was served in a tiny cup, and when we politely asked for a little extra, the staff rudely refused unless we paid more. On top of that, the chutney was so watery that it barely resembled chutney at all. Good food can’t make up for bad customer service, and unfortunately, the rude attitude left us with a very negative impression. Definitely not worth revisiting.

The place is straight forward to enjoy food and not the ambiance. Self service place with menu that’s not scannable or no printed menu, which is ok when the food is good ! We got Thali, Puri bhaji, Parotta Korma and Idiyappam Korma. All tasted homely except that the potion of vegetable for all latter 3 were very less in comparison to Puri, Parotta or Idiyapam. Atleast the cutting chai shaped glass in which the vegetable is served should be filled instead of 3/4th filled. We basically had to eat without vegetable in the end of all 3 dishes.

We came for breakfast as a group to dine in with a kid. Food was very good. We ordered Dosas, Idly, Pongal and Coffee. They were served fairly quickly and the atmosphere was clean and wide open to accommodate a large group. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

Decent South Indian food. I’m leaving one start because I didn’t like that they served chutneys in plastic cups and didn’t have a recycling bin anywhere inside the restaurant. Could really do a better job with that.

We catered food for a gathering at our home a couple of times and were very happy with the service provided. They took into account the dietary restrictions and were able to accommodate last minute requests although it takes quite a bit of effort on their end. Really appreciate all the hard work and the delicious food. Loved their Pongal, Bisibelebaath, Kesari and Gulab Jamun. Highly recommend them.

I ordered the Sambar Vada, and usually in other shops sprinkle it with onions for extra taste. When I asked the server for some onions, she abruptly said 'no' without any reason. I understand that there might be some cost factor involved when customers ask for something extra. However, declining the request with a valid reason, such as 'it might cost extra,' would be more polite. Simply saying 'no' without empathy seems rude. I'd appreciate it if you could provide your staff with some behavior training. Additionally, a staff member in the kitchen was shouting, which annoyed me and affected my dining experience. Unfortunately, I won't be returning to this restaurant.

Worst experience ever had in a restaurant in seattle area. Pathetic food. I ordered dosa, it came with cold sambhar. Chutney was spoilt, I got food poisning eating food here. When we told about 1 issue with food they started defending saying , this is how we cook and serve. No cleanliness. No manners in the staff to talk with the customer.

I would say food is besttt. Just one thing that we didn’t like is they serve hot sambhar in plastic cup which is very bad. I wish they have non plastic. If they do this I would go more often. I hope owner makes difference in this.
