Reviews
The first time I tried Paneer Dosa and as the name says it’s just Dosa with shredded Paneer filling in place of Masala. The dosa was too good and moist unlike the dry Dosas we get at other places. The paneer was just shredded and added and literally no spice/ salt nothing. Had a plate of samosas as well. Wasn’t that great but the chutneys were good.
The next time I went for lunch on a Saturday, it was too crowded and hard to find a place. We got a Thali and it was just Wow to me! Was craving for Thali for quite some days and found this pure home style Veg Thali which included Pappu, Sambar, Gulab jamun, curd, pickle and 2 curries. There’s a great demand for the thali here for its reasonable price and quality.
The next time had Onion Dosa and they ran out of Sambar which I loved the most. I’m glad they atleast clarify the wait times and non availability of food up front than making us wait for hours like Auntys kitchen who gives a standard 40minute wait time to everyone. Had Badam milk along side this and it tasted great and subtle as well. No extra sugar or any colors as I could see. Just mashed Badam and milk and the food stays so grounded.
The quality is all the more excellent which makes me revisit frequently. The ambience is simple and nothing special. The tables are kept clean more often than being piled up like Auntys kitchen and the plates are taken away as soon as we are done thus making way for other customers to occupy in no time. Weekends are a lot busy especially during lunch times so be prepared for a wait time of atleast 20-30 minutes to get a table for 2 or 4.
BOTTOMLINE: A great place for home made style authentic Andhra-TN (South Indian) food that’s delicious, priced reasonable, filling and doesn’t bother your tummy. Crowded on weekends as it’s close to the temple.
MUST TRY: Veg Thali, Dosa varieties, Badam milk
Here is the summary of my review:
Ambiance: 2/5: Nothing genuinely extravagant. Looks like a regular lunch place in the busy streets of India. Small area with mostly tables and not in the name of decor or ambiance.
Service 2.5/5: It took them over 20 minutes to get us two samosas (which I assume would have been cooked before) and a mickey mouse uttapam
Food Quality and size: 3/5: The taste was good. The samosas were small and spicy and the uttapam did not have enough side dips
Value for Money: 4.5/5: This is only area in which it does good since this place is cheap so if you want south indian food which does not create a hole in your pocket, you must visit Amma’s kitchen.
Overall, the taste and service could have been better. I will try their dosas and update the review
Cashew curry was okay but Panner curry was spoiled, we had to trash it. Although prices are reasonable but it doesn’t justify the fact that they are selling stale food. Please do check before selling it.
2018: Awsome home-style south indian food..pure veg. Regular lunch spot for nearby office folks.
As a business, you either charge the customer extra and deliver the side dishes for free given that I have purchased the thali.
At 1:14PM, the bloke with a hair bun tells me that the thali curries have been completed and are not available.
After that close to 15 Thalis are given out. This kitchen is a subsidiary/part of the Hanuman temple.
Not sure what this was! Never ever returning again!
Service- Food was ready quickly and that is what we want especially when we are hungry 😀
Atmosphere- Ambience is simple and neat.
Cost- Very reasonable compare to other places.
