I really liked meat in Lamb Thali, but the side dishes were mediocre

Dropped in for lunch & was in for a very pleasant surprise. The lady that took our order & served us was a gracious host with a very polite attitude. The big pluses- Vadas, chutneys, dosa, chicken 65, ghee rice & Kesari …the thali was good.
When you taste the chutneys & know it's fresh & not pre-made or bottled / powdered stuff, then you know you are eating good food.
Will definitely return.

The food was so expensive & it was so bad. It doesn't worth the money. Butter chicken was like sambar & the naan was very hard. Worst experience.

I visited today, but I didn't like the attitude of the girl at the counter. She didn't even speak to me properly & behaved as if I owed her something. However, the food was really good, & I truly appreciate the chef's hard work.

Une expérience culinaire absolument fantastique. Chaque plat que nous avons goûté était riche en saveurs & parfaitement préparé.

Le plateau en métal, avec ses compartiments pratiques, mettait en valeur une excellente variété de préparations. Le pain naan était tout simplement délicieux. C'est sans aucun doute une adresse incontournable dans le quartier.
