An ok place to have your quick lunch break. I was there for their lunch buffet. Nothing too crazy all the curry felt like just water added and not boiled with the spices in it.

We had sambar vada. That was good. Masala dosa was okish. We had mini south thali. The idly was not fresh. Sambar was not good at all. Upma was also not fresh.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this South Indian restaurant and I must say, the food was amazing! The onion masala dosa and butter masala dosa were both delicious and authentic, reminding me of my time in Bangalore. The portion size was very generous, and I was quite satisfied with just one dosa.

Good place to have Udupi style food. We just had the Thali here, so not sure about the other food. They try to come close to the authentic Udupi taste and it’s good. My first, tasting Udupi food outside in the US, so it was nice, even though some of it was really off (like the cabbage fry also known as cabbage palya which tasted like Chinese food) and rice needed to be cooked a little more. Quantity of rice given for the amount of all the other dishes was less.

Authentic South Indian food like I have never had across the US. The place is a veritable VIP gallery of the likes of Anthony Bourdain, Dr. Abdul Kalam, AR Rehman, and many others. The buffet was the best vegetarian, south-Indian food I have had (again)! The Vadas and idlis were fresh and done just right. The sweet pongal was delicious and fresh as well. A must-visit place if you are looking for healthy, vegetarian food, though to some this may be carb-heavy!

Interesting atmosphere. The restaurant had pictures of the owner with a lot of Indian celebrities. The food was okay, but I felt it was a bit overpriced. The idli wasn’t upto my expectation as compared to the restaurant in India.

First of all – don’t judge based on what it looks like on the outside! The inside is bright and airy with comfortable, clean seating.

So the service is ok. People are polite but can be a little absent minded! 🙂 The Thali took a good 15 mins or more to arrive, but was clearly full of freshly prepared food so I don’t care to complain about this.

Went in for the lunch buffet. It was barely average. The coconut chutney was STALE. Rest all items on the buffet tasted as if no effort was being put in preparation. Not returning.
