Perfectly balanced & authentic Chettinad flavors! The South Indian special tiffin was outstanding, & the customized service by Punit made the experience even better. The fact that we finished both tiffins completely says everything about the taste-posting the empty plates says it all. Highly recommended!

I had channa masala, rice, & roti. All were excellent. Food was flavorful & warm. The service was equally as good. The place is not huge, more so cozy & welcoming. I walked in from the street, but parking is akin to that in any city block.

Very tasty food especially podi masala dosa..staff very friendly & sweet. I also purchased the dosa batter & it is very good. The best part is that it is naturally fermented & made without any preservatives. Definitely worth it.
