Reviews
"Holy heck! Phenomal food! I love the south of India and this was high end and so spot on with the flavours. I 100% recommend. Thank you so much! Just needed the male waiters to be a little more active in their duties, the female staff were brilliant!"
"Although the food was decent, the portion sizes are incredibly small for what you are paying. We had butter chicken, a Lamb curry, rice and two naans. Both of us were still hungry by the end of it. Nonetheless, The meat was tender and the staff were nice."
"We went to this place near King Cross station. Tried three dishes which are detailed below: 1. Chicken Paneer Dosai- (4.3/5) This dosa has some delicious fillings of chicken and paneer. Dosa was very well and evenly cooked accompanied with some delicious chutney and sambhar. I loved it and already thought about trying the other dosas on the list. Sambhar was okayish but loved the chutney. 2. Goat Mappas - (4/5) The goat mappas was very well cooked - meat was very tinder and came off the bone easily. The flavours a bit different from what I have general eaten and it probably resembles the konkan and southern style. I liked the flavours, but felt a bit bland to my liking - but I loved how it was so well cooked. 3. Chicken Chettinad - (4.3/5) I had low expectations from the chicken dish - however it came as a good surprise when I tasted the dish. I really enjoyed this dish and the flavours were really good. I would recommend trying this dish out. 4. Kerala Parotta - (4.4/5) We ate the curries with parotta which was well cooked and went very well with the curries. Worth a try. Pricing - it was on the higher side with individual items priced between $25 and $31. Service - service was very good and prompt, and the ambience was quiet and comfortable. No problem at all. All in all a good place and worthy of a visit if you want to try some South Indian dishes near the city."
"Just so good. Nice venue, friendly staff & incredible food. Had the Kerala fried chicken, some basmati, naans, lamb verutha, Goan fish curry, dal makhani & chicken do-piaza. Our favourite was either the dal, Kerala fried chicken or lamb verutha. The level of chilli is quite low even in the “hottest” dishes so I think that’s been changed to non-Indian taste."
"Wow, the flavours of every dish are just out of this world! Works great as takeaway, but do yourself a favour and have a meal there dinning in. The staff are awesome and attentive, the drinks are great and cold, and they do BYO with a service fee. Highly recommend, it is our new favourite and we can’t wait to come back!"
