| - Went here for a late lunch on a Saturday. I do understand that a Saturday afternoon is an odd time to come into a restaurant, which might explain the lack of people when I visited or my bad experience here given that this place is decently rated on Yelp, but based on my visit I would give this place less than a star if I could. I had the dhai vada, the paneer dosa, and some of the fried idli. Neither my dhai vada nor my paneer dosa tasted anything like what it should have, nor was it fresh by any means. The dhai vada was cold all the way through and had become dense and hard in the center as it would be after being refrigerated for some time. Even the yogurt was very cold which makes me think that there wasn't even an attempt to make it feel as though it wasn't just pulled out of a refrigerated container. The paneer dosa was the same way...burning hot on the outside as if it had been nuked in the microwave and very dry through the middle. Additionally, there was no paneer in it, but rather this "paneer" was shredded mozzarella or a similar cheese. I could tell because paneer would not typically melt in the manner that the cheese inside here had. In my opinion, there is really no excuse for serving anything that is less than freshly prepared food at a restaurant. This is what customers go in expecting to pay for; this is what they should receive. I find it hard to imagine that overhead is any sort of excuse for this. Tip: if you don't have the demand for the food in your restaurant, don't prepare it ahead of time and store it. Don't prepare food in bulk if you're not a catering service. And definitely not worth cutting corners by storing previously prepared food because it is easy...I doubt it's fooling anyone. I would rather you take your time in the kitchen or tell me that you have run out of something, rather than bring me reheated food in the first 5 mins like this place did. And paneer is not just a synonym for any type of cheese you want it to be. Paneer is a specific type of cheese, please don't falsely advertise.
