Got the mini idly and the lunch thali. Mini idly was good although the sambar could be a little more flavorful. We got the lunch thali on their recommendation, I'd say it was not worth it. I wouldn't get it again. Even though they have a couple of tables outside, it is definitely more of a takeout place. All food comes in takeout containers (not an issue at all) and they don't have restrooms or drinking water. Vegetarian options: Their menu is south Indian food which is all vegetarian.
Small restaurant with all idli and vada menu. Delicious food with good portion size. There’s only outdoor and very limited seating. Nice go to place for South Indian appetizers cravings.
The food here tastes like home cooked meal. Been there twice and was satisfied both times. The meal portions are sufficient and the price is affordable. They do not really have seating and offer only take out. But there are a couple of tables outside. The downside is their menu is not very customizable. You get freshly made curries in pre-packed boxes. The curries are different each day.
