One of the best places to go for good Indian food. Especially south Indian. They can Definitely do better on hygiene outside the food area in general and the survive. But the food is definitely the best

Here is what you get if you ask for a masala dosa.. plain dosa and some kind of veggies on the side. Have anyone ever seen a masala dosa like this... masala on the side and then charging 6 dollars for that masala... I mean if you don't have a masala dosa , just say that you guys don't make it...The only good thing was the tea... all items I tried I would not even give 1 star

It was a horrible experience on a weekend. The waiter , a man with slightly longer hair with glasses(excuse me for not knowing the name ,would have mentioned if only I knew it) was extremely curt and rude. When we wanted to know if they serve thaali. He said " we have what we have ". They were hardly interested in wanting to serve . They were two of them going from table to table. We just felt like we were not welcome so we left. Atleast my family will never order online from this restaurant nor will we visit the restaurant . Their food isn't worth it either. That particular weekend we didn't have much choice so we ended by going there. Will never again.

OMG the goat haleem portion is a joke kid size for $18+tax.
I was here with a friend over the weekend and I have mixed feelings about this place. First thing I noticed is there is no southern about this place. The chef, serving staff, people at the counter they are all non-Southern people. The place has a vintage Southern kick but the food is mostly Americanised. I had mysore bajji, paneer tikka and Veg Dum biryani. Bajji is a joke, paneer didn't have any flavor as it's not marinated properly. Veg biryani was ok but it's more like curried rice. This place is very commercial. They charge you for extra chutney, sambar and the list goes on. I don't think I will go back here again.
SENSATIONAL SERVICE ! We have been here a couple of times for lunch in recent weeks and loved it. On Saturday my wife and I arrived here for lunch around 12.30pm. In fact the miserable cold damp weather screamed out for some delicious and hot food. It was pretty packed out when we entered but we found a table in a corner. I fetched us a couple of ice cold waters in plastic cups from their soda machine. We ran our hungry eyes over the menu determined to try something new. AND WE DID ! A very informed server named Arbaz helped us to make our selections. My wife ordered Chicken Tikka Masala ( cubed chicken pieces marinated in tandoor spices, cooked in the tandoor on a skewer ) and I decided on Vijayawada Special Biryani ( special flavored rice, layered with chicken and tossed in a spicy sauce ). Instead of our usual choice of Naan we picked a serve of Onion Kulcha ( leavened bread stuffed with onions and spices. I asked Arbaz to kick up my Biryani.....there were 3 levels of spiciness on offer and I chose medium. As I said earlier in my review we have been very impressed with the food quality here and today our talented server Arbaz has blown us away with his helpful advice. Our lunch orders arrived courtesy of Alex a food runner / server. HOLY GUACAMOLE ! I could not get over the sheer size of my mountain of Vijayawada Biryani. My wife's Chicken Tikka Masala looked very appetizing. WHERE ? For some reason our Onion Kulcha ( bread ) didn't arrive at the same time. We had to chase it up with Arbaz. When it did finally arrive it was more cold than warm..a bit of a letdown ! My wife thought her Chicken Tikka Masala tasted as good as it gets. I dished out a few big spoonfuls of my Biryani onto my meat dish and added some of the side sauces. It went well with the Onion Kulcha. SUPER DELICIOUS ! The chicken tasted fabulous and the medium spice level was perfect for me ...a level 5 I would say. Arbaz had explained to me that for this dish the chicken is special coated then marinated and left to sit for a while. It truly was delicious. I had another serve of my delicious Biryani but in the end had to box virtually 2/3rds to take home. My wife boxed the remainder of her Chicken Tikka Masala too. DESSERT ! When I checked in here Yelp offered me a FREE DESSERT with purchase over $20. YES PLEASE ! I love free anything so I asked Arbaz for my free dessert....I chose the cold one called Rasmalai ( a Bengali dish ). I've had it here before....it tastes like rice soaked in creamy milk. So I polished off my enjoyable dessert...perfect after my spicy Biryani. WE CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK !

Ordered a take out last night and this is what happened. After waiting for 50mins to pick up the order, looks like the busy people there didn’t find time to close the Side(raita) lids which had it spilled over and under my car seat and this is what it looks like(video).I now have to end up paying to deep clean the area cause of their dumb mistake.
