Shrav makes a personal connect with all his guests.. the ghee dosa and rasam is a must try... he hails from the heart of TamilNadu in India.. and you can get a taste of Tamil Nadu... friendly folks and a nice cozy place. Drop by for a quick bite.

I am South Indian and know a good dosa and sambar when I eat one. This place is legit. The dosas, sambar, vada and chutneys are authentic and home style. I.e. there is no layer of oil floating on top of the sambar like in North Indian places. I talked to the owner and chef and they are both very fri...

Terrible food. Stale dough for dosa , the potato masala for the dosa was stale and no taste (Masala for the dosa can be made tasteful even with minimum use of spices). Both the coconut chutney was tasteless. I am saying this because I grew up eating this food and know how simple it it is to make it,...

Always my favourite south Indian place which makes me feel like home. Dosa is not too oily but super crispy and the flavours of their chutneys and sambhar are well balanced. Ever want to feel good out of this covid do visit its worth.
