Good restaurant, good ambiance. But hard to get waiter to give order. I tried the porotta, ghee roast, & few other items. Though the taste is above average. Not the very best. The comparison is with respect to Tamil hotels back in India. & I didn't quite get the taste right to be called perfect. But people who want to try South Indian style food should try here. I did check with my friend who goes there frequently, he said this is best option in the area. Porotta - Tamil style, me being keralite. I am would say the taste is 70% okay. Kerala prottas are best. Ghee roast - okay. Not exceptionally great. Tamil guys are good with dosa. But not up to mark. 3.5/5 star Chicken 65 - 5/5 star Filter coffee- 4/5 sta
