What recent reviews say

South Indian fare, biryani, and strong masala teh tarik draw repeat visitors, but service failures dominate recent accounts. Waiters ignore customers, refuse to note orders, and ignore requests to clear or clean tables; chairs are unsafe and portions poorly tracked against charged prices.

Recent shift: Sentiment declining over the past two weeks; multiple consecutive one-star reviews cite staff rudeness, poor seating hygiene, and unsafe furniture.

Praised for
  • tasty Indian dishes
  • value meal pricing
  • strong tea and dosa
Watch-outs
  • rude and inattentive staff
  • slow table service and seating
  • inconsistent portion sizes and pricing
  • dirty tables and unsafe furniture

Regular visitors praise the approachable staff and affordable breakfast and lunch menu in a clean, welcoming space. Long waits and inconsistent food quality frustrate others, especially when staff ignore customers ordering promo sets in favour of full-price orders, leaving families hungry and without explanation.
