    Still the best "kara kuzhambu" I ever had :). My only complaint is getting seat for weekday lunch. It has gotten to the point that it is impossible to get in unless go there close to 2pm for lunch!

    Great food. It was our first meal there and staff was helpful to explain a number of dishes. Masada Dosage and chicken tikki masala were our favorite dishes on this trip!

    As authentic as south Indian food can get. It got me feeling nostalgic as I was eating. Make sure to try the house special Thallapa Kaattu style mutton biriyani, it was spot on!

    Chennai breaks the mold of the stereotypical suburban Indian restaurant with a clean, modern décor, and a lack of lunch buffet. Read more

    Try the non veg thali. Lot of food and lot of things to try. Traditional South Indian food at its best.

    Very snobbish owner. A humble request for a better table gets rejected in a very unparliamentary manner. Food is nothing astronomically different then other Indian good place.

    Not that good food for veggies; but heard a lot of praises abt the non-veg ones! A litle bit pricey though.
