Great South Indian comfort food. The pav bhaji was rich and buttery with nicely toasted bread. The Mysore masala dosa came perfectly crispy with a flavorful kick from the chutney, and even the plain dosa was fresh, light, and satisfying. The mirchi bhaji was crunchy, not greasy, and had just the right level of heat. Solid quality, tasty chutneys and sambar I’d happily come back.

Excellent as always! The food was delicious and the service was great. We had ordered ghee roast masala dosa, dahi vada, milagaipodi masala dosa (spicy), and obviously filter coffee. The dosas were crispy and fresh,and the coffee was spot on. The menu is pretty descriptive and is properly marked about spice levels, vegan and gluten free options. It’s perfect for first time visitors as well. Highly recommended!
