Food is very reasonably priced and prepared really quickly. The dosas here were massive and can be eaten across multiple meals. I got a tomato and cheese dosa and it was quite good. The side chutneys were slightly spicy but not too bad.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Starting with ambiance - this place is unclean with dusty air filters, lamps, and surfaces. There is no door between the bathroom and restroom and the open seating concept seems haphazard and worse than a fast food restaurant. I tried the onion rava masala dosa that came with sambar and three chutneys. Overall, the dish lacked taste and freshness. The onion rava dosa was too oily, and the chutneys offered no flavor whether it be tomato, coconut, or whatever else. The price here was reasonable - $9-12 for most things which reflect the quality and taste.

Established and serving South Indian vegetarian food for a long time. Overall it’s a decent place, however they can improve taste and service better. Chutneys are very bland and so are other items except for Sambar. Sambar Vada is good, Dahi Vada is ok on the bland side otherwise ok. Asked for Onion Ravva dosa with special request not make it toooo crispy, they served under done dosa with plenty of onions :( Quality wise pretty decent and not oily :) service could be better, place order and pay, they bring your food to the table instead of taking order while seated. They have grocery store with food court with a shared kitchen. For pickups order from food court for faster service and they may have additional items and snacks.
