Masala Dosa, Vada and Thali
We tried Masala Dosa and Idli-Vada and found both to be very flavourful. Dosa was thick, crisy and soft with a nice aroma of ghee. Sambhar had a typical south indian taste and there were 3 types of chutneys, each with its own distinct flavour. Vada was also soft, crisp with a nice golden brown texture. Apart from the typical south indian snacks, this restaurant has a number of ala carta dishes (available only during dinner) and breads (appam, idiyappam, kerala parotta etc). There is also option of 2 kind of thalis available during lunch time. Price is on the higher side, but the location, ambience and service justifies it.
