“ Small, unassuming spot dishing out surprisingly excellent, authentic, and affordable Indian food. Mysore masala dosa was fantastic, definitely amongst the best in the city. The dosa itself had a great mix of crisp and soft bites, with a subtle toasty flavor and that signature fermented tang. I could tell the tomato chutney was phenomenal just from the curry leaves, red chilies, and spices in it. It was a smooth paste with additional texture from some lentils. Taste-wise, as expected, it was a flavorbomb layered with bold warm spices, tomato richness, and strong garlic notes. Sambar was warm, hearty, and super flavorful. The creamy peanut coconut chutney was also solid. I will definitely be returning for dosa night on Wednesdays. ”
“ Ordered through DoorDash and loved what I got. I ordered their Pani puri and was surprised with how many puris were given in the order and how good they were too! I also ordered their Hyderabad goat dim biryani and loved the flavor and how tasty it was. Ordered the lamb vindaloo with chapathi and that was really yummy and decently spicy as well. Had plenty of leftover for 2-3 meals too. ”
“ This restaurant caters to all home-cooked delicacies from all parts of India, especially South India. The chicken lollipop was spicy but was very well-cooked and tasty. The Mysore Masala Dosa was very delicious, especially the stuffed and spiced potato filling. The Chettinad Chicken has different spicy options and we choose the medium option. It was prepared with the aromatic spices of the Chettinad region. The Thalappakatti Goat Biriyani is so yummy that it is recommended to be tried at least once, however, I am not a fan of the short grain Seeraga Samba rice. ”
“ Came on a Wednesday afternoon for dinner, it wasn't busy and we were seated right away. We ordered the shrimp vindaloo and butter chicken. The butter chicken comes either mild, medium or spicy. We ordered mild and it wasn't spicy enough it was very sweet so if you want a kick to it definitely order medium or spicy level. It was good but very sweet overall. The shrimp vindaloo was flavorful and had a nice kick to it but wasnt super spicy since I requested for it to be mild. I enjoyed it and the basmati rice was soft and went well with the dish. The garlic naan is unbelievable!!! Super delicious and I highly recommend trying, so good! We also got the salt lassi which is salted yogurt and the mango lassi which is similar but with mango puree. Both were good but mango was better. I would have given 5 stars but the lassi was not cold it was warm/room temperature which I found odd. It's yogurt and should be refrigerated and be served chilled or cold not warm/room temperature. The water on the table was self serve and was also room temperature and no ice was provided which was a bummer given how hott it is this summer. Also, the size of the entrees were relatively small for the price. The butter chicken was $13.99 and shrimp vindaloo was $17.99 very pricey. The portion size of the rice was very generous we didn't even finish all the rice but then again rice is cheap so of course they'll give more of that versus the protein. For all these reasons I had to give 4 stars. Overall, it was $50 for two entrees, naan, two drinks. The customer service was great, the female server was friendly and went over the menu and accommodated my request for less spice in my dish. Very hard to find parking, they have a small lot right next to 7 eleven but only a few spots available. Will I return? Not sure, maybe I will give this place another chance. We'll see. ”
