Graylyn RooseAugust 15, 2017Good selection of south Indian eats and a few north Indian dishes too. The menu here is somewhat heavy on the meat entrees and few are boneless. I had the vegetarian Thali..good sampling of dishes!
LaurenceMarch 27, 2017Good Indian restaurant. If you like to eat spicy you will love to eat here. If you don't ask to have a mild meal (even the medium spicy is really hot!) great choice of north and south India
R KDecember 17, 2016Go authentic or go home. This is not your typical Indian joint. Ask your Indian friends for suggestions and don't forget to down a beer. Cheers!
Serious EatsApril 23, 2013The goat here, cut into boneless chunks, is used more to accent the dish than it is to drive it. While bigger chunks may give you a burst of gameiness, the flavor is more meaty and spice-driven.
The food has consistently been great. The chicken 65 is perfect amount of spice and flavor but I highly recommend the Chicken kothu parotta! Great portion size with friendly staff.
Manisha ShahJanuary 19, 2013Try the Chettinadu specialities - garlic curry (sounds odd/intense but is delicious. Garlic melts like butter) and egg appam were delicious. Always get rasam in a South Indian restaurant!
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantFebruary 10, 2015Good not GREAT. I had the chicken thali. Everything is very flavorful, very tiny portion of chicken but LOTS of side dishes, service was lovely and very accommodating. A little pricey.
Best South Indian food I have had in the city- I skipped the regular dosas etc & went for the chicken 65, kottu porota & chettinad chicken- delicious! Must visit for atypical South Indian dishes.
Tasting TableApril 21, 2012This Southern Indian restaurant specializes in the foods of Chennai. Try the egg appam, a rice-flour pancake with a fried egg, as well as the ghee-slicked dosa. To drink, order the lemon soda. Read more
Amruta BugeJanuary 7, 2017Authentic South Indian food 🥘❤ and they have an unlimited thali deal for the weekdays 🙊
The chicken lollipop, dosa and the shrimp biryani are great. If you are on the hunt for something really spicy, go for the Drums of Fire (at your own risk)
Shraddha NunziataDecember 7, 2013Get the fried idli and if they have nethli fish as a special then get it. Madras coffee may be instant coffee but that's pretty much what Madras coffee is. Eat tapas style.
Eric FJanuary 25, 2015Amazing Parotta. Garlic naan was delicious. Chicken rasam was spicy and good. Could have done without all of the bones.
Authentic South Indian food. They make the payasam with rice vermicelli. Try the various kothu parottas.
Berk KapiciogluMarch 11, 2014Good ambiance. Indian music puts you into mood. Buffet is not real buffet. It's whatever the chef chooses and at fixed amounts. As a result, a lot of food is wasted.
Josica 🦔September 21, 2018The Lollipop chicken was good, the chicken kothu parotha was tasty but lacked the extra kick of spice im accustomed to in kothu rotis.
Nikos KaratzasMarch 17, 2013Very nice lunch. House specials suggested were an interesting experience. Good value for money for lovers of Indian cuisine
- MunaMay 26, 2012The whole garlic curry is a MUST try. Never had anything like that before. Also, the fresh lemon soda was a refreshing soft drink.
Ratish NaroorAugust 11, 2012The food was great and very authentic. But I wish they had turned on the A/c. Enjoyed the food with sweating all the time.- Serious EatsMarch 15, 2013A standout Indian restaurant specializing in spicy regional Chettinad cuisine.
- Manosai EerabathiniAugust 5, 2013Get the thalis (meals), pretty authentic South Indian food. Hit the spot for me.
- Kaarthy MadhanApril 15, 2012Try the egg kothu parotta(minced rotis with a spicy sauce n scrambled eggs)
The kulipaniyaram (fried idlis) are to die for. Also the parottas!
Ellie DMarch 11, 2013Garlic Curry is tasty, but NOT DATE FOOD. I REPEAT. Even if you're married. Hold off.
Thiru Selvan SathiamoorthyMarch 19, 2012Very authentic south indian food! Tastes exactly like in India
