| - South Indian cuisine in neighbourhood full of South Indian restaurants. Food prepared somewhat differently from the North Indian,which most are used to, and is very spicy. The butter chicken, which many people use as the standard to measure the quality of an Indian restaurant, was made with tomato paste, which I liked, preferred even, to the usual "buttery,oily" style, and came with naan. Another patron at the table, was however; not very impressed, she prefers the usual style.The fish patties with sauce, were very good, spicy, but contained more potato than fish, the sauce was very good. The chicken dosas were 2 large pancake rolls stuffed with very spicy chicken with veggies, and came with 3 sauces, none of the cooling yogurt variety. People at the other tables were enjoying their various dishes, and everyone appeared to be happy, sated and very satisfied with the portions.. large and the prices ... small. This is a family owned/run resto, can accommodate large groups, there are 2 floors, but service is VERY slow. The temperature was also chilly inside, many patrons kept their coats/jackets on while dining, and what's with the plastic cutlery??Thank heavens the manager/owner herself, had the grace and presence of mind to bring out the the regular stuff. This is also a BYOB restaurant, so this further brings down the costs. Overall: everyone seemed happy to have been here , loved the food, great new find, another place will revisit.
