| - Hands down the best south Indian food I have had in the valley! I am from Chennai, and I could say that the food was almost as good as a good restaurant back home! We ordered a bunch of food, paper masala roast, the lamb curry , kothuparotta, and roasted eggplant. The masala in the dosa was perfect, not hot, not overpoweringly spicy, just enough to taste the potato mashed. The lamb curry was marinated in what I could imagine was only heaven, and the kothuparotta took me back 15 yrs ago when I stood on the roadside and had the most epic discussions with my friends. Indeed quite authentic! I really thought the quantity of food was small from the photos on yelp, but the kothuparotta was huge, and masala roast was huge too. And let me say that I am a pretty big guy who eats a LOT!
And to top it off, the people there genuinely like to serve food ( after all my grandma used to say nothing beats the pleasure of seeing the smile of a satisfied stomach!). The guy who sat us down apologized for a wait delay, when there was hardly not even a minute of standing involved in a moderately busy evening! That was so epic a gesture of hospitality. And the rest of the service was extraordinary ( of course my mouth was stuffed with amazing food, so it barely lifted the head :)). Yes it is a little bit pricey than others, but let me tell you for the amazing quality and quantity, its worth every penny!
If you are a chennaite like me missing home food, you should definitely check it out, and even if otherwise its a definite checkout restaurant that you need to cross off your list!
I will be back very soon! And I just hope the guys can keep up this high level for years to come! Thank you for the service people! You guys rock!!
