Food Quality
Pros:
"Flavours are more aromatic than your normal takeaway, but very high quality never the less."
"The most perfectly cooked fish and balance of flavors I've had in a long time; the spice and heat were very subtle and only there to enhance the natural taste and texture of the dish."
"Phenomenal food, very flavoursome and just the right amount of spicy heat."
"The food was absolutely amazing."
"Everything tasted absolutely delicious and was very authentic too."
"All of the food was fresh tasting and delicately spiced."
"The food was beautiful; plenty of variety, generous but sensible portion sizes, good prices and it tasted delicious."
Cons:
"The food wasn't much chop either."
"The fish was stale and the spices on the fish were undercooked."
"Food was hot above limits even for dishes that wasn't flagged as spicy."
"Quality of food is very cheap as the idly was as hard as the iron."
"Service was non existent, chicken was dry and sauce lacked depth of flavour."
"The dosa is not delicious at all, and the sambar and chutney are as well."
"The Idli wasn't up to the mark. It was too hard."
Service

"The staff were very friendly."
"The service was fantastic and the staff were so fun and so kind!"
"The staff were very helpful throughout."
"Service is fast and friendly."
"Service was quick and all the staff were friendly."
"Service was friendly and helpful."
"The service was excellent & the food tasty."
Cons:
"The service is diabolical overall & The Waiter's heads appeared like they were someplace else."
"Got served food without any cutlery, asked for some and they never came back."
"Service was abysmal - we ordered drinks and 20 minutes later, with our drinks order still not on our table, we were informed the order had been lost."
"However and a big however is that on a recent visit an a Tuesday evening at beginning of August 2022 and despite having made an online reservation we were seated at our table and waited almost 25 minutes before anyone even approached us."
"Service- we asked for water the staff pretended to be very busy and didn't bring us the water."
"We hadn't been offered drinks until at least after we'd ordered the main courses."
"The customer service is slow, and you get tired of waiting for the food to come."
Atmosphere & Location
Pros:
"Right in the heart of Merchant City in Glasgow."
"The atmosphere in the restaurant was buzzing."
"Great atmosphere."
"Really stylish place with cool music which gives a great taste of a modern India."
"Fabulous lunch for group of 7 friends getting together for the first time since before Covid."
"The restaurant has a lovely ambience."
"After experiencing crowded places across Britain with not so great ambiance, this restaurant was fabulous in having tons of space and room to breathe along with the ambiance expected at a high end restaurant."
Cons:
"The restaurant is not even on the ground floor and has no views outside to enjoy or appreciate."
"Not welcoming for kids."
"Parking can be an issue if visiting during busy hours."
"Parking around that area can be a nightmare and it is upstairs so not sure about disabled access etc..."
"As far as I can tell the only access is by stairs, so not great from an accessibility perspective."
"Hence low on atmosphere... However there is no background music nor there is anything in the restaurant to make a theme nor something about south India."
"I didn't find the atmosphere friendly as well."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Enjoyed a delicious meal here on a Tuesday night, taking advantage of their 10% student discount."
"The selection of tester menus is fantastic."
"Good prices."
"Really well priced too."
"For what you get it is very good value for money."
"The pre theatre meal deal was good value."
"Price reasonable."
Cons:
"I did think this was a tad expensive, for comparable curries."
"One line review: “pretty expensive for a nowhere near Indian food” Detailed: We ordered Idli, vada, Sambhar and 2 different Biriyanis. There are just 2 Idlis and 2 Vadas that you get for 15£. Highly disappointing experience."
"However, it is a ridiculously expensive place to eat south Indian food which is infact extremely cheap to prepare."
"The food is overpriced."
"£4 for a dosa with absolutely nothing on it. £15 for a filled dosa. What. Are the diners unaware what this food normally costs?"
"Extremely overpriced for what you get in terms of quality and portion size."
"Little bit highly priced."
Menu Options
Pros:
"The fact the entire menu is completely gluten free is amazing for people like my friend who can't eat any gluten, they have the full menu to choose from."
"The whole menu is naturally Gluten free and nut free too I believe."
"Every dish gluten free and plenty of veggie and some vegan options too as well as all the traditional dishes."
"The restaurant is nut and gluten free."
"Absolutely everything on the menu was gluten free!"
"They are coeliac UK accredited with a 100% gluten free kitchen."
"Everything on the menu is gluten free to the extent that they are @coeliacuk approved!"
Cons:
"Don’t ever go there as there are multiple other options you will find around."
"They failed to realise their mistake after they mixed up our orders and gave a vegetarian person a non-vegetarian dish."
"Also they have very small opening hours that start at 12:00 PM and close by 2:00PM with the last order at 1:30PM."
"Not really anything small/inexpensive on the menu for them other than plain breads."
"The dosa is not delicious at all, and the sambar and chutney are as well."
"Their menu is very weird as in you need to buy all separately meaning if you buy dosa then you need to buy sambar and chutney separately."
"Don't order Lemon Rice because it doesn't really contain any lime juice."
