EXCELLENT Based on 1455 reviews Posted on Marzena IlowskaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome dosa and proper chutneys. Authentic vibe and friendly staffPosted on RomanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Très bon ! C’est relevé mais c’est vraiment bon ! De la vraie cuisine indienne… foncez-y !Posted on vk mTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding South Indian restaurant, serving home style Pan-Indian cuisine. Reasonably priced, large portions, big flavours. Everything one needs from an Indian restaurant. I must insist - unlike most other restaurants on the Eastern side of restaurant operating under an Indian banner - this is actually Indian food. Try the dosa, the Kottu, the specials. Ignore the stock sauce curries - Indians rarely eat these.Posted on Hanna WróblewskaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
