I walked into a classy looking restaurant that could be in any Sydney suburb.
Greeted me with a warm smile, and we were ushered to our table.
I knew then, that I was in for a wonderful treat.
Fantastic menu, extensive, but carefully selected. Reasonable prices and on point service. The food was outstanding, the flavours, the aromas, the texture and the taste. As if that wasn’t enough, the Owner and head chef, Mohammad came and introduced himself and gave us a history tour into the restaurant, and the origins of the cuisine and the menu.
Thank you for looking after us.
We will be back

A true gem in Darlinghurst. Our favourite is Dosai, both Bangalore and Prawn Dosai are packed with flavour and beautifully presented. The butter chicken and lamb dishes are outstanding too!

This is what you call a fine dining restaurant. Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Great place to bring a loved one or your family. From start to finish the service was excellent and the food was delicious. We had a great time celebrating my parents wedding anniversary and we weren’t disappointed. Tried a few items on the menu which were cooked to perfection. Perfect South Indian flavours with the right amount of heat and spices. Great job guys

I really enjoyed my dining experience here. We’re visiting Sydney on vacation, and this restaurant was a lovely way to experience the local fine-dining scene. The atmosphere feels refined and welcoming, and the staff were attentive without being intrusive. The food was excellent — beautifully presented and full of flavour, with real attention to detail in every dish. The portions were on the smaller side and the prices are a little high, so it may not be somewhere you’d visit every week, but it was definitely worth it for the experience while travelling.

If you are one who love South Indian food particularly from the unique Kerala cuisine, then this is a must go place.
We, a party of FIVE, were pampered to the most amazing Kerala food. We had the Kerala chicken curry, veg Patti samosa, Baramundi fish polichadu, lamb chops for starters. Each one of the them unique in flavour and in presentation.
Then we shared a Bangalore dosa and a Keenan curry dosa. Crispy and decadent. Absolutely must try.
The beef ribs were simply fall off the bone. And paired with the flaky Kerala Parotta – simply slapped.
The Railway Goat curry is some of the best I have had in a long time. Simply amazing.
Kerala Parotta is a must try. And u choose ur curry !!!
Now coming to the desert : we tried the desert platter. Which had rasamalai, kavanu arisi (splendid rice pudding) and mango kulfi
A must wash down with Masala chai.
Pro tip : we skipped a drink in the beginning coz the drinks we can get anywhere. The rest of the food is unique!

Empty restaurant but guy insisted I sit in the corner by a tiny table. Kerala fried chicken tasted awful and the masala dosa was about six inches long or thereabouts. Elegant atmosphere. No idly or medhu Vada. Limited items on the menu
