  Believe it or not, we have been to this place three times already since it has opened. This has become our go-to place, every time we go to Costco. Each time we have tried either dosas or rice here and they were spot on! Service is good. they even made me filter coffee as I like - very very strong :) only thing I would recommend is that if stee cutlery can be provided please as when eating hot sambar, i don't like to use plastic spoons. the team there is polite and seem to be doing their best. I really hope the place does well so it can be here forever.

  I recently had the pleasure of trying the Chef Special Donne Biryani and the Benne Masala Podi Dosa, and both dishes were absolutely outstanding. The Donne Biryani was rich, aromatic, and bursting with authentic Indian spices—exactly the kind of flavor that reminds you of true regional cooking. The Benne Masala Podi Dosa was equally impressive: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and layered with a perfect balance of buttery richness and podi spice. The table service was excellent throughout my visit. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and they made sure everything arrived hot and fresh. The employees were genuinely friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made the whole experience even better. Overall, this place delivers incredible food with authentic flavors, great service, and a team that truly cares about their customers. Highly recommended!!

  One of the better veg only South Indian restaurants in Atlanta metro. It’s newly opened place and only few weeks since they opened. The place can get busy during weekends specially between 1-2pm and 7 to 9pm and there is a wait time of 20-30 mins but the staff explained it to us when we placed the order so we know the wait time before. Though there could be some improvement in the time taken to serve but I will excuse it as they are new and will improve on this aspect. The environment is clean with good classical music playing in the background but they can improve the seating as one side is occupied with high table which not many use. Coming to the food we ordered Benne Dosa with podi, Thatte Idly, Gobi 65, Thali and Falooda. I was pleasantly surprised with the benne dosa and idly as they hit the mark spot on. I only had similar dosa and idly in Bangalore and the sambar and chutney was a great combination. Thali was filling for a person and next time will try their biryani/fried rice. I highly recommend this place for South Indian veg lovers and they won’t be disappointed if they are willing to wait!!

  We visited hoping for a great dinner, but unfortunately, the entire meal was a letdown and a significant waste of over $40. It seems the kitchen struggles with the a la carte items. Here is a breakdown of the disappointing dishes: Pani Puri: Below average (2/5). Stuffed Mirchi Bajji: Salty (3/5). Noodles: Extremely disappointing (0/5). They were shockingly bland—tasting only of boiled water with no seasoning or actual flavor. Veg Dum Biryani: This item was misleading. It consisted of plain white rice, a few boiled potatoes, and caramelized onion, which is not what 'Dum Biryani' implies. Furthermore, the onions were prepared carelessly, including tough, unchewable outer layers. It's clear that the savory dinner items need major quality control. I suspect the restaurant's strength might be in quick items like Idli and Dosa, and I plan to try those separately to give a fair update.

  HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED! AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I wish I could give 0 stars. This was by far the worst experience that I have had in a very long time at an Indian restaurant. Listing everything that went wrong below (basically everything): 1. Took close to 40 minutes for them to bring out the food. This would have been okay if this was at least for decent food but the food was beyond terrible. 2. The first thing that came out were noodles that did not have any flavor or salt, and to top it off, came in a dirty dish! When we complained, the put a very heavy dose of chilli sauce or some extremely spicy sauce, and we are already feeling the effects of it. We wanted to leave right then and there but honestly at this point we were so hungry after the wait that we decided to wait and see if the other items would be some sort of redemption. 3. The Manchurians that we ordered literally were just vegetables in ketchup, absolutely zero flavor outside of tomato and extreme tang. 4. The dosa… honestly the worst dosa of my life and it is really hard to mess up dosa. The batter was not fermented and it had zero salt and the side dishes were abysmal to match the taste of the dosa as well. On top of all this, it felt like they kept forgetting our order and constantly acted shocked and surprised whenever we asked about an item like “oh did you guys order that?” Even though they had a tracking system for our orders. We should have honestly left as soon as we saw reactions of others (we heard someone say “I ordered pulihora but there is neither puli nor hora in the dish”) and we literally saw someone else leave as the restaurant manager was basically begging them to wait and have the food. I would be very surprised if this restaurant lasts for more than a few weeks at this rate. Don’t believe the reviews (I’m sure a lot of them are bot generated or fake reviews) and don’t believe any influencer. Terrible, awful, and all other synonyms for that for this place. EDIT AFTER SEEING THE RESTAURANT OWNER’S RESPONSE BELOW: We did voice to the people at the restaurant multiple times that the quality was awful, and actually we requested them multiple times to cancel the remaining 2 items on the order. To be honest, it was hard to find someone to even talk to voice our concerns. When we finally talked to someone, there was no sincere apology or explanation for the terrible experience. Also, I do not think my judgment of the existing good reviews being fake is wrong, since you can clearly see the history or prior reviews that these people gave and they all clearly look fake or they have reviewed the same places consistently. Also to reiterate, we were not the only people that had bad sentiments towards this place. If the owner is truly as apologetic as they seem in the response to me, I believe we should receive a full refund for our meal. I am so angry and upset with this experience.
