We stopped at this restaurant for lunch or breakfast. The waiter understood our request for no butter or ghee. He offered us a couple of options and we ended up ordering masala dosa, idly, and chutney. The food was good, fresh, and tasty. The dosa had a great flavor and was filling. We went back again and tried their meduhvadai, which are like donut things, and they were really good. However, this time they started placing additional items on our banana leaf without informing us that they would be charged. It was a bit frustrating and annoying as they seemed to be trying to get us to order more than what we wanted.

We went to this restaurant for lunch and breakfast. The waiter understood our request for no butter and offered several options. We ordered masala dosa, idli, and chutney. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and fresh. The dosa was flavorful and filling. We returned for another visit and tried their medu vada (donut-like snacks), which were also very good. However, this time they served our food on a banana leaf without informing us of the change, which was frustrating and annoying. I tried to communicate my preference, but it was difficult.
