For apps, we had the whole fish tandoori and the wrapped fish from their weekend specials, plus the Chicken 909, Rayalaseema Kodi Veppudu, Maharaja Prawns, and Emerald Chicken Skewers from their regular menu. The fish starters were excellent. The wrapped fish in particular was one of the highlights for us. They were soft, tender fillets coated in a flavorful masala and steamed in a banana leaf. The Chicken Veppudu was a hit with the adults, and the Chicken 909 was popular with the kids. The emerald chicken skewers were tasty but a bit chunky and dry for our liking.
For mains, we ordered a variety of curries with naans and set dosa. The kids shared Butter Chicken Dosa, and they loved it! We also tried the Goat Dindigul Biryani, but that one didn’t land for us. The meat was tough and the rice hadn’t really absorbed the goat flavor. The Suvai Mutton Kuzhambu, Andhra chicken curry, and Chettinad chicken curry were all delicious, but the goat curry was the standout. Unlike the biryani, the flavor of the meat had seeped into the gravy, it had a rich, deep taste, and the spice levels were just right. The set dosa worked really well to soak up the curries, which is one of my preferred ways to enjoy South Indian meat curries.
Overall, it was a lovely meal. The owner, Raja, was very open to feedback and genuinely interested in hearing about our experience, which was great to see. Our server, Gopi, took good care of us and made some solid recommendations. Service was prompt, warm, and friendly. The ambiance was nice too. Lots of open space, well lit, and thoughtfully decorated.
It is a newer place, so I am excited to see how they evolve. Definitely recommend giving it a try. I will be back in the new year!
When we came here for dinner I ordered the Pallipayam chicken which was really good.
The food here is excellent and no shortcuts made in food prep.
We had this vegetarian STREET noodle dish and we hadn’t seen noodles on an Indian menu before. It was delightfully refreshing.
So we tried the old reliable dish of Butter Chicken and immediately my wife commented on the beautifully cooked chicken breast pieces.
The flavors of the butter sauce was rich and had ALOT of depth.
Steamed rice was perfect and the butter chicken with rice AND noodles was a super nice new taste experience.
We also had a sauted cauliflower dish with green chili as a starter and it too was full of flavors. (I forget the name- see photo).
ALL the staff were very very pleasant and the ambiance was calming and lovely. Tastefully or subtly decorated, and not over the top.
My wife is a foodie, I am a bit of a foodie too but she cooks a lot and is very discerning but a fair judge of quality and flavors.
This place passed her test/standards and at the dinner she was already texting people recommending it.
I hope the owners do well here. Saratoga needs a his place.
We’ll be back.

Usually, with South Indian food, you have to stick to vegetarian cuisine, not here.
They have a great selection of traditional South Indian dishes, paired with non-veg options.
We had a dosa, noodles, and idli.
All good.
The food was on the milder side, and we had to ask for chili ️ sauce.
Service was great. It was as if the whole crew was trying to help you.
My kids loved the Chicken 909 and the butter chicken. The parota was very delicious and my kids almost came to blows to finish it. The butter naan was fluffy and light. The mango herra (lassi) was delicious. We tried a lot of new to us foods and enjoyed the experience.
Because they are just opening they have a discount until 9/21 on prices.
