  The food was just OK. The one guy working there was quite bad. We got there super early for dinner on a Wednesday. Like 530pm. The place was empty the whole time we were there. We wanted a table with chairs, not a booth. There were many but the bored, uninterested man who was likely listening to music on airpods saud no. Only booth - tables are for parties of four. Water is served in plastic cups. We wanted something simple, a sabji, rice, dal, dahi. The dude didn't know what sabji was. All he could do was masala. He didn't know Hindi or Tamil, only Telugu. No problem, even in Telugu he couldn't grok kura. I asked if he could do beans kura - he said that there were lentils. I asked about bhindi, no. Cabbage, no. cauliflower no. Potato no. What could they do? Egg curry. Which was good but what South Indian restaurant has no vegetables? Overhead the owner or some discussing new menus. I will never eat dessert there after hearing how he proposed to just cut corners using essence instead of real fruit. What we ate was not bad. Pongal, egg-curry, ennai-kathrika, a barotta and yoghurt. Didn't upset the stomach. But, not a place I will go back to in a hurry. Also, dark, weird decor.

  We had a really poor experience here. We arrived earlier than others, yet the people who came after us were served, finished their meals, and left while we were still waiting for our food. Our kids were very hungry and kept asking for food the whole time, which made the situation even more frustrating for us. The delay and lack of communication were extremely disappointing. Overall, it was a very unpleasant experience, and we won’t be returning
