This place has a good concept and some good flavors, but the experience was a bit hit or miss. Service was far from friendly. Tried a chat item and it was too oily, wasn’t served with any chutney; when asked we were directed to a buffet station that only had chutney and sambar cold that actually go with South Indian dishes but not chat items. Had to ask again at the counter for mint and red chutneys that go with chat. It’s a decent spot if you’re craving dosa, but there’s room for improvement to make the experience better.

They serve the dosa without any chutney or sambar; instead, the sambar is kept in a buffet-style container, and it’s very cold. The staff isn’t welcoming, and the food quality is disappointing. We ordered three different types of dosa and an idli, and none of them tasted good. We took a few bites and left. If you want to waste your money, this is the place to go.

Great dosa restaurant. The dosas were huge. The little side dishes and dips were ok. The price is reasonable and atmosphere is great.

Wonderful food and service. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I got the Mysore dosa with the perfect about of flavor. My husband got the paneer dosa which was just as delicious. It’s our go-to favorite South Indian restaurant.

The South Indian cuisine at this casual place specializes in various dosas, idli, and more. Going on Christmas night was kind of a mad house but this is clearly a popular place that aligns with the taste of the food. The masala dosas were crispy, and the coconut chutney, rasam, and sambar were fantastic, as was the sambar idli and dahi vada. Gulab jammun capped the dinner with four pieces (rare for an Indian restaurant in the U.S.) for dessert. This gora pakora had a happy tummy tonight. *** Update July 2025: It's still really good. Rasam was amazing. No problem getting a table this time.
