We ordered masala dosa, paneer masala dosa & Schezwan paneer masala dosa. The masala filling was on the saltier side, paneer in the dosa was lacking any flavour as it was shredded raw. The sambar was also a bit on the bland side. Overall the experience was okay. Not that great.

If you have not eaten South Indian food , this is the best place.
Due to different climatic condition Indian food is different in North south east & west food. as in Bengal it is different than Punjab & in south it is different than north. It is different in Chinnai than Bombay. The street foods too even are different. As you can not digest North Indian food in South India .

You will get all kinds of South Indian food here.

They are mostly made from fermented flower if lentil & rice flour batte crapes filled with different kinds of vegetables . Lentil soup & chain ( sauce) which helps the kidney to mentain the water balance due to perspiration
