Wow, what a surprisingly good meal! Partner had chicken korma which was ok but chicken&potato dosa was amazing! Well spiced, with 3 interesting sauces (only one was too salty), a huuge crepe-like thingy with fresh & nicely spiced chicken inside. Also, a huge plus for mango lassi which was not too sweet & just the right balance between mangoey & milky.

No AC working. The food was so spiced up or too much masala. Not for everyone. Medu vada were great but again spiced with green chili. Wasted our dinner.
