Love the food!

02/18/2008 Posted by pearlypg

I have had breakfast and lunch here, and dinner pick-up, and this is by far my favorite South Indian restaurant. The food is authentic and tasty. The service is not bad either - but then I have never been here on weekends. I highly recommend this place for the food. The ambience is not bad either - there is usually a long wait during lunch especially in the summer, but the trick is to get there at the right time when there are fewer people. I have never had a bad experience here, and love the food. The only negative part is the Indian tea - it is not perfect, and tends to be very strong.

Pros: Food

With big, bright flavors and serious spices, this South Indian spot heats up the city's vegetarian scene. See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

The $6 glasses of wine are on the small side, but all the bottles are priced at $22. Take note: The Dr. Loosen Riesling is as sweet as it is cheap, and the thick mango lassi does a better job of balancing the spicy dishes.
