The onion rava masala dosa and paper dosa were delicious and crispy. The chutneys and sambhar were decent. I have tried kothu paratha and idli before, and they were well made. Tastes best when eaten at the restaurant, straight out of the kitchen. The quality of the food has improved significantly from a few years ago

The food was amazing! We really enjoyed the services. Everyone was very professional which I loved. it was my first time here and I love how they took their time to explain what we were eating along with going above and beyond to make sure everything was good. I’ll definitely will be coming back with my family :).

Delicious food. Heavy wait time. The manager was very rude. He wore a mask and called names for booked tables, which was not audible. Upon that, there was a huge crowd that we had to stand outside, and we didn’t even know that he called our names. After half hour we asked what’s wrong why is the wait so long and the manager there replied as if he is a dictator that he will decide when to call and whom to call, which in my opion is not hospitality and disrespect towards customers. We ended up getting a table, and the order took long to come on the table. There was a kid with us and was hungry, but his order didn’t come on the table even after several reminders. It was just a plain dosa that he wanted. After all the elders finished their food, that plain dosa came on the table, which he felt was a little disappointing. There was another supervisor who saw our situation, and as a complimentary, he gave the kid a mango Lassi just to make him happy. We thank him.

Visited this place last Sunday for late lunch around 3 pm. The ambience , atmosphere is good . It’s a huge place. We find the table quickly and we got the food within 5 minutes . The service was super fast. We ordered veg thali with puri and it was super hit. The food was yummy they only give one puri and lot of rice . You can order additional puri/chapati at extra cost but there I no extra cost for the curries . We loved the aloo sabji, beetroot sabji, green beans curry . Overall a good place for veg thali. I was only disappointed with the cheese dosa . They put so much cheese that it was not tasting good ! My kid Cudnt finish it and was not feeling good after eating even the half cheese dosa. One request with the restaurant to reduce the amount of cheese. Don’t ruin the taste with lots of cheese . Plain dosa was good with the chutneys !!! Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area. I am going to visit again soon We also tried mango lassi and buttermilk .

One of the cleanest Indian restaurant with elite interiors and heart warming ambience. I am a vegan had lunch with my friends and ordered their special Thali, fortunately most of the items in the thali is Dairy free and the right amount of spice, consistency, flours was lip smacking and authentic.Their new weekend special Idiyappam with( Black chick peas masala korma and sweet coconut milk) luckily we got to eat today, not to exaggerate was the best one in the whole of US continent.Please don’t forget to try on the week ends.Such amazing staffs were kids friendly and very well organized.Within 12 minutes we got all the food on table for a pack of 14. Keep up the Good job team,big shoutout for the chef and the administration

We were in Edison and craving South Indian food. This place was one of the top search results. We gave it a try. Best decision made. We ordered two dosa, absolutely delicious. Huge serving perfect to sample/share on the table, good seating area, little to no wait time to be seated. Staff was very friendly. I want to try the puries next stop.
