Service was attentive and good. Nice dining atmosphere. Suggest to have a hand wash area as entering a wc to wash your hands and seeing a toilet is not appetising before a meal. We were very disappointed with the food. We went with the expectation of the good reviews and to have a nice south indian meal. The fish curry and sambar was sweet!!! We did ask for spicy but it was sweet. Very disappointing. We will not go here again.

The interior could use an update, but the food and the service more than make up for it. The place is filled with people that know Indian food. The food itself is great. Recommended. Don't let the dodgy stairs scare you away :-)

Food is really good but they should focus on service. I ordered a bottle of wine and guy just opened it and left it on the table. didn't even offer to pour. also they focus so much about using the same cutlery after starters. this is not good.

This is an excellent restaurant! I’ve visited many South Indian restaurants, but over time, I’ve noticed a decline in service and cleanliness at some places. Here, however, the quality of food and variety offered is truly impressive. They manage to serve a large number of customers while maintaining a strong focus on customer service. The tables are cleaned promptly with proper disinfectant, ensuring a spotless dining experience.
