| - Summary: good portion size, good price, and solid homemade quality make this family run restaurant a constant for locals despite the long wait times, drabby looking decor/location
What I've Got: Garam Chicken Masala, roti, shrimp noodles, mutton roll, roti, kothu roti (mutton, vegetarian)
What I Liked: KOTHU ROTI. Mutton roll was alright
What I Didn't: garam chicken masala
What I'll Get Next: kothu roti
This restaurant is located a stone's throw from Woodside square, in the bleaker looking plaza. Looks can be deceiving, though: while this doesn't scream out "family friendly", it's got a great following and with good reason.
The food is good, and the value is really solid.
Service? Well, they're understaffed.
Wait times? Not great - they're understaffed.
Decor? Bare bones
BUT THE KOTHU ROTI? On point.
DON'T COME HUNGRY. Expect to wait 20-30 minutes after ordering for the food. We came on a Sunday evening around 8:30 pm and got two kothu roti dishes. It took over half an hour, although there were about 8 tables/12 people and only two staff (including one chef)
But once the food got there, I was one happy camper. Kothu roti for both the vegetarian and mutton options were REALLY good. Tasty mix of bread with sufficient meat.
Mild is actually mild, and probably my favourite amount of spice, properly done, in a kothu dish that I've had (other places make mild taste like nothing, or make it taste like Armageddon).
The mutton rolls and roti at $1 a piece are fun to try, but aren't particularly special. Shrimp noodles were okay.
They take credit AND they stay open late.
All in all, a really solid kothu roti place - and more to try on the menu.
