  “I visited this restaurant with my friends,and it was an absolute delight for anyone craving authentic South Indian and Chettinad-style non-veg dishes. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and the aroma of freshly prepared spices set the perfect tone. We started with the Mysore Masala Dosa, and it was hands down one of the best I’ve had! The dosa was crisp and golden, perfectly thin yet substantial, with a generous, flavorful potato masala filling that’s beautifully spiced. The red Mysore chutney smeared inside gave it that signature fiery kick without overpowering the dish. Paired with coconut chutney and sambar, it was pure comfort on a plate. My friends couldn’t stop raving about it! For the mains, the Chicken Roast was outstanding — tender pieces of chicken marinated in a rich blend of spices, roasted to perfection with crispy edges and juicy interior. The flavors were deep, aromatic, and perfectly balanced with fennel, curry leaves, and spice levels. The Mutton Masala was the star of the evening. The mutton was slow-cooked until it literally fell off the bone, soaked in a thick, spicy gravy bursting with robust flavors — cloves, cinnamon, and fresh ground masalas shining through. It had that authentic homestyle taste without being overly oily. We mopped it up with rice and porotta, and every bite was satisfying. Portions are generous, service is quick and friendly, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. The place was spotlessly clean, and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu. If you’re a fan of South Indian cuisine — especially crispy dosas and spicy, flavorful non-veg curries — this is a must-visit spot. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely be back soon.”

  “Super yummy! The food was amazing, we had the pepper prawns, paal appam, kottu paratha, briyani and their milk tea. Food was super yummy and served piping hot. The waitress was a very sweet girl and so accommodating. Also manage to bump into the owner and told him how fantastic their dishes are! Will come back surely.”

  “I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kerala-style restaurant that truly impressed me with its flavors, ambiance, and hospitality. The highlight of my visit was their bamboo biryani and dosa, which were nothing short of spectacular. Bamboo Biryani a must-try dish that combines traditional biryani flavors with a unique earthy aroma imparted by the bamboo. The rice was perfectly cooked, the spices were balanced, and the tender meat made it a standout dish. Dosa crispy, golden-brown, and served with a trio of chutneys and sambar, it was a delightful homage to Kerala's culinary expertise. The staff was incredibly warm and attentive, ensuring that every guest felt welcomed. A special shoutout to Swathy and Chef, who went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Her recommendations were spot-on, and her cheerful demeanor added a personal touch to our meal. The restaurant's decor was a blend of traditional Kerala elements and modern aesthetics, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.”

  “Dining experience was fine. But I took takeaway from this restaurant today which I spend about £30 but packing and bag quality was too poor, bag broke down, spilling all food into Uber taxi which cost me again 15£ for cleaning. Kindly provide good quality cost effective take away service please”
