Authentic south indian restaurant. Just finished a scrumptious banana leaf non-veg lunch & it's completely worth the price. This is going to be one of our favourite restaurants in Montreal.

When you advertise for a special meal, make sure all the dishes are ready & available. I did not want white rice & l came for Matta rice. This is not Kerala Sadhya. Sadhya Sambar, Pulinji etc nothing was authentic Kerala style.

Loved it. They provided really a good service out there. Especially rohit, that guy is really cool. He made us feel like home. Tasting our home country dishes in an authentic restaurant is a different emotion.
