Visited today for both lunch and dinner because I was seriously craving some good South Indian food. For lunch, I had the non-veg thali with filter coffee — both were absolutely A1. Dinner was the Chicken Chettinad with Kal dosa. It was decent, but honestly, the thali stole the show along with Masala chai and Filter coffee. Definitely going back for the thali — and next time, planning to try the biryani too! Special shoutout to Lesly and the young woman at the reception — hands down, some of the most supportive and caring staff I’ve encountered at any restaurant in the US.
One of the best South Indian food I have had. We got the Ammas special Tiffin Combo and the South Indian veg meal. They both came with variety of items to try including dessert item. Flavors were so good. Place is very clean, staff is nice and food was the best!! Definitely coming back here again.
Authentic southern Indian cuisine served here, and the food is absolutely superb! Would not recommend northern Indian dishes from here, though. Come here for Southern Indian food.
Oh! The Food! Get the Meal. It's a menu item and you can see what you get from my picture. Delicious, flavorful, and filling. We were seated in a narrow part of the restaurant, right by the windows, and the table was very small but it was fine. Also, we didn't get a lot of attention from the staff but that was fine. The FOOD! South Indian is NOT the same as what you typically think of as Indian food in the US.
The food was awesome and tasty when compared to other South Indian restaurants in the region. Me and my friends ordered the weekend special Non veg Thali. The food was amazing and fresh, which made me remember the memories from India. The food and the presentation give you an authentic South Indian feel. Me and my friends had a good time here, as it was also their first authentic South Indian food experience! The service provided by the staff is exceptional especially the once who served us - Khushi and Aditi. Thank you for making our day wonderful!!
The place is mind blowing. We ordered veg as well as non veg thalis. A pure authentic ride down the taste lane. The staff is also very sweet and friendly. I would highly recommend this place for a blissful goofing experience.
I like the atmosphere here. The decoration is so cool. The food is also good. I like the chili paneer and medu wada.
