Sathish is one of the best restaurant hosts in the city. I've always had excellent service here. As a Tamilian from Mumbai, Thanjai feels like a home away from home. & the food is flavourful, subtle, & is not an assault on the senses like most other Indian restaurants in the city. Food that feeds the soul anyways. Update: They also sell the best idli batter here. I have never made idlis before but it was incredibly easy with their batter (photos attached)
