My mom recommended this place and I am glad I stopped by to try it out. All of the food was delicious and they have many vegans options which is awesome to find in Appleton. I’ve had a lot of Indian food but nothing like this! It was an awesome experience to sample a lot of southern Indian cuisine. I will definitely be back!

Everything I've ordered here is delicious! Ask the waitress for recommendations if you've never had Indian food. I'd personally recommend the vegetable noodles to everyone. If you like it to be a little spicy, add schewan for $1.00. Their mango Lassi drink is like a refreshing smoothie & their bread is light, airy, and tasty. One of my favorite appetizers is their samosa - it's like a mashed potato, but deep fried & served with a slightly spicy green sauce & a sweet brown glaze (both saucs served on the side so you can test them out a littleat a time.) Try it, you'll love it!

We simply love the delicious vegetarian food here. The flavors are amazing. It’s cute and clean little family-run restaurant that has never disappointed us. If you enjoy Indian food, give this place a try!

WOW! Our waitress was an absolute peach! The first time we came here she taught us how to eat the different dishes, gave us advice on what to get (we asked), and was so very kind to us throughout. She explained all of the dishes to us and made us feel very welcome! We got the Masala Chai. It’s a must get. It’s perfect. My mom and I shared the Mini Tiffin and Special South Indian Thali! I think that was the perfect first time order. You get to try a bunch of different flavors. I will certainly be going back!! Please please go and get some food here, you will not regret it.

This is a small spot, dine in and take out Southern Indian food. The samosas were excellent, I tried Dosa as a vegan option. In fairness I have never had Dosa before and would not order it again, but it just wasn’t for me. It is large and looks great but I’m not much of a crepe person but it was worth trying! Will order take out from here in future, was not disappointed in this place. Nice like it quaint dinner spot serving soda, coffee, some Indian non alcoholic drinks. Parking is tight but if you are in and out no problem.

We stopped in for lunch. This is our 2nd time visiting this restaurant. The first time we enjoyed the dosa and it was delicious and done properly. The condiments were delicious with great depth of flavor. We decided to try it again and again we were impressed. We ordered the Thali and dosa. Wonderful flavors and the dosa was light a crispy on the edges, very flavorful. Good friendly service. OH! you've got to try the chai masala...excellent. Stop in and let and enjoy some great south Indian food.

The food was absolutely fantastic. we had the special south indian thali, the medhu vada, gobi manchurian and bread halwa. the gobi manchurian was SO GOOD. everything else was also very good, but the gobi manchurian was a serious highlight. the special south indian thali has a good variety of things to try if you're not sure what you'd like.

definitely going back. definitely trying some of the other appetizers. will have to do the thali again just to remind myself what i liked best.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. I drive 90 miles to this restaurant. It’s worth the drive. Real authentic South Indian restaurant. Even food is served in authentic South Indian dishes. It gives a 90s vibe of a restaurant in Madras (now Chennai). Food is very delicious and the chef deserves a pat on the back. If you love or want to experience South Indian cuisine, this is the place.

The masala dosa and chai tea are great. Appleton having an authentic all vegatarian South Indian restaurant is a blessing.

Everything we tried was absolutely wonderful. Nothing in the area is comparable. Some of it is a bit spicy, pleasant but not overpowering.
