Vishnu S.

Good spot for an assortment of Indian dishes. South Indian "cuisine" is a misnomer and is quite varied and consists of at least 5 distinct major cuisines. Ammas offers a bit of each without trying to explain too much about where they come from, while adding in a bunch of North Indian cuisine to the mix. Labels aside, the food is great. The butter roast dosa brought back memories from Mysore in Karnataka while the fried pomfret could take you to Kochi Kerala. We also had the South Indian meal, while a mishmash of various dishes, is tasty and worth exploring. The service is excellent and attentive.

Great food great vibes! Went here when visiting a friend in Philly on another friends recommendation, turned out to be one of the best south indian restaurants I visited outside in the states. Will definitely recommend the filter coffee was little cold for me but overall a great experience.
