• "Enjoyed a great meal here with 2 old mates. The choice on the menu was excellent with a fabulous selection of generous portioned dishes for the vegetarian and the meat eater alike."

Cons:

• "Extremely disconsiderate and rude staff and service! They talk behind your back every time you request something and gossip about customers."
• "The worst part is that my and I were very regular customers. We would typically go there 7-9 times a month. There is no respect giving to loyalty here so don't waste your money."
• "The food here were delicious and the staff were polite and attentive. Everything was going great up until ordering desserts, we were informally asked to relocate from our RESERVED table so they could use it to seat a larger group."
• "This place serves superb food. Irs problem though is its success - long queues allowed inside the restaurant, stabding in large groups, constant stream of deliveroo drivers, subsequent long wait times."

Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

• "The food was delicious and unique. Totally in love with lamb stew and chicken rice kedgree(?)"
• "From starters to dessert, everything hit the spot."
• "The food ordered: masala dosa, and chicken biryani. You must try the Chai if you love spiced tea."
• "Pleasant atmosphere and very good food. I had lentil doughnuts (uzhunnuvada) for starter and lamb curry with ney cheru style rice."
• "Delicious, fresh food with a beautiful balance of flavours."
• "The food is by far the best South Indian food i had in Great Britain. It would be either better or just about similar to what i ate in Dubai."
• "One of the best south Indian cuisine restaurant in the heart of the city."
• "This is an excellent authentic South Indian restaurant. The menu reflects this with a wide range of vegetarian and fish dishes."

Cons:

• "Liked the food, staff were really nice. Took a little long for the food to come out, and for tables to be cleared, but probably because it got quite busy just after we arrived for early dinner."
• "The meal also I tried, had no spice or taste. If you want to eat real Kerala food try Thattukada or Anandabhavn."
• "The vada starters were extremely greasy and not at all crispy, and again, lacked flavour of a proper fermentation."
• "The sambhar lacked flavour, and had too many of those annoying "drumsticks" which put me off, and the chutneys were also quite generic, as if decanted from a catering grade bulk buy vat, and lacked flavour."
• "Beef was okay, fish didn't felt or tasted authentic and chicken too an extend. But overall is okay, at least it's near to our place."
• "Not your average Indian Restaurant menu - really great food, prompt service and very helpful staff. Some of our fellow diners were a little noisy so they moved us to a different table without any fuss."
