Description

A welcoming Laurel gem serving authentic South Indian and Indian fare with attentive, cheerful hosts and consistently delicious, generously portioned dishes—from butter chicken, biryani and samosa chaat to idli, vadai, kothu parotta, dosa nights and mango lassi. Popular for affordable lunch sets, themed unlimited nights and celebrations, it’s ideal for families and groups. Guests praise fresh preparations and knowledgeable staff; minor drawbacks include intermittently unavailable lunch buffet and occasionally cool chutneys.

I ordered the idli vadai combo, kothu parotta, and tea. We really enjoyed the vadai, sambhar, and kothu parotta. The sambhar was authentic and perfectly spiced. However, we were a bit let down by the tomato chutney. Both the coconut and tomato chutneys were served cold, while I prefer them at room temperature. The kothu parotta was fresh and delicious. Overall, I was a satisfied customer and would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely wonderful! The owner was incredibly friendly and attentive, taking the time to answer all our questions. Now, let's talk about the food—it's phenomenal! I believe it's the best butter chicken I've had in the area; it was served piping hot and came with generous portions of chicken. We also ordered some samosa chaat and garlic naan. I'm so glad I decided to give this place a try!

The staff here is extremely friendly. I visited for lunch and everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. I really hope they bring back their lunch buffet soon; it’s been missing since the pandemic began, and it's one of my favorite Indian cuisine buffets.
