Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the food as authentic South Indian and Sri Lankan cooking, served hot and fresh and full of flavour. Chicken chettinad and masala dosa are the dishes named, one reviewer calling the chettinad yum and another finding the dosa very delicious. Close behind is value, with several calling it affordable, and the freshly made snacks, tea and coffee come up alongside generous portions and eco-friendly packaging on takeaway orders. Service is described as friendly, polite and attentive, and the room as clean and welcoming. A couple of reviewers call it their go-to spot. The complaints are specific. One reviewer says the snacks are not so fresh, suspecting reheated frozen vada and baji. Another, who ordered a mild korma, says it stung their lips, the rice was cold, and the paratha was missing from the bag when they got home.
