Crisp ghee dosa and fresh thatte idli ★★★★★

“Absolutely loved the food here! 😍 The ghee podi benne masala dosa was perfectly crisp with generous ghee and amazing flavor. The thatte idli was soft, fluffy, and tasted super fresh. Paired with a strong, authentic filter coffee, it made for a perfect South Indian meal. And the highlight at the end — pineapple sheera — sweet, aromatic, and just the right texture. Every dish felt authentic and comforting. Highly recommended for anyone who loves true South Indian flavors! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

Flavourful dosas with perfectly balanced sambar ★★★★★

“We ordered Mysore Masala Dosa, Ghee Podi Thatte Idli and both the dishes were very tasty. The filling of Mysore Masala Dosa was flavorful. Their Sambhar is just perfect - not too thick not too watery. Idli was very soft and their coconut chutney was also nice. The Red Chutney was decent and could be better. But overall, amazing food. Ambience is good. Hygiene is well-maintained. You can see them making dosa and Utappam live in front of you.”
