Udayan BanerjiNovember 3, 2014Crab toast is delicious. Bombay Ghost Pepper Dosa will make you cry and burn your insides, but if you can take spicy, you cannot stop eating it.- Jon B.September 3, 2017Bombay sliders, Indian Railways peppers, and chutney prawns are a must to start. Also the Travancore style fish was excellent.
Vinay SApril 21, 2016Crispy idli chat was superb .. Classic uttapam and white elephant dosa were flawless. Chikku frape was a perfect end
Akhil Jaya SathyanSeptember 8, 2018We tried Shepherd Dosa, Bollywood Dosa, the dosa with basil and Rasa Chicken Biriyani. Did not find the biriyani very flavorful but everything else was really beautiful.
Jenny RedoMarch 25, 2016A fantastic meal! I cannot wait to go back! Every dish was so well controlled and flavorful while still beautiful to the senses.- Jaya PunethaJuly 5, 2016Chutney shrimp and cheese dosa are delicious! Try their homemade ginger beer too
Sannidhi 🐾January 7, 2017Bombay sliders, sake cocktails and wild mushroom uthappam were amazing. Malabar shrimp entrée was decent and the rassam wasn't bad either.
Sanjay KalraMay 10, 2019Great upscale Indian cuisine. Fantastic food presentation and very attentive and knowledgeable service.
Pavan KulkarniAugust 20, 2017Travancore fish moilee is sooo good . Must order . The rest of the dishes were a little oily or decent.
Mandar PathakJanuary 13, 2017Definitely try out the Bombay Sliders. A little spicy but extremely delicious. Great service too!
William JohnsonFebruary 13, 2015Definitely start with the black and white calamari. Very lightly breaded but still not rubbery. And the chili-tamarind ketchup is a slow burner.
Samudra BhuyanFebruary 11, 2017Dang this place is good! Shepard dosa, classic utthapam and crisp fried idli chaat are awesome!
Sandeep MadhurDecember 31, 2017Scrumptious South Indian food. Mangalore fried chicken, sliders, and paper dosas were our favs.- JonesNovember 14, 2016Basil dosa, Bombay sliders , classic uttapam the best. Ok was the calamari and butter chicken
PoojaMarch 24, 2018The sliders are awesome. Chutney prawn is tasty but small portion. Calamari is decent. Chocolate Crémeux is heaven!
Sundi BaluSeptember 28, 2018Awesome food. Must try. The truffle dosa is a must. Goat curry is succulent.
Alex BosworthAugust 21, 2019The portions are large, goat biryani is really a lot. Pretty good Indian food- VarunSeptember 12, 2016Have the vada pav sliders from the appetizers! The uttapum is better than the dosa
Derek PJuly 9, 2016Of what they had it was incredible. However they ran out of a number of things on the menu. Quite frustrating.
Robert ElwellJuly 23, 2016Don't come here expecting Michelin star quality. The food was just okay. The service was bad. The experience was not worth going out of your way for. Oh, and there was no toilet paper in the bathroom.
