Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food’s amazing, the dosai were amazing it was crispy and tasty."

• "Amazing South Indian food with best quality. Their taste is so authentic and feels so close to home."
• "Food is fantastic especially if you dig spicy South Indian."

Cons:

• "We usually like food from here, even though it’s bit expensive. But this time we ordered Malai Kofta and got disappointed, Kofta was very dry and it was like just taken out from deep freezer and there are only 2 Koftas."
• "It seems the quantities are quite less for the price. And idly was not good at all it was rubbery."
• "Wait time is 5 to 10 mins for seating at 2 pm on Saturday. We ordered paneer pulav (so good), kuthu paratha(below average), paneer tikka(good), south Indian rush thali (not good at all), Chole bhature (the Poori didn’t taste like poori it more like tortilla)."
• "Our food was awful - from the corn soup to the paneer 65 and the dosa/sambhar were beyond oily."
• "Some change in the Air I could feel. Except Dosa, all other food didn’t stand up to its standard. Idly was so bad - wet and chewy and vada was an insult."
• "Ordered biryani to go. Biryani was subpar."
• "It didn't taste as It should. . . I wouldn't say that this is a proper A2B restaurant."
