They didn’t welcome no hospitality whatsoever! Anyway , We ordered south indian thali mendu vada fish fry. They served it all at the same time and food was cold only some content of the food felt warm. They didn’t served water at all to us. Taste was ok. But definitely some items were not fresh probably day before! I feel like below reviews are paid and written to get their popularity. Please train your staff properly when and what to serve first and after. And please serve water first because that’s the Indian tradition to serve water when guest arrives weather in restaurants or home! This is food place please feed people proper fresh food and don’t make other sick afterwards! GOD bless!

What a wonderful place to eat! T.G. took great care of us and helped explain the menu. We ordered the non-veg sampler and it was truly delicious. Plenty of food for the price, and a great way to try many dishes.

My partner and I go to Indian food all the time and always get our usuals (biryani, chicken tikka/vindaloo, etc). Although the menu was overwhelming at first, Amma’s offered a different niche of Indian food. We could tell they catered to more South Indian cuisine and we decided to go for it - we got the non veg platter, the onion pakora (this we always get!), and the dosa. The non veg platter was delicious, with unlimited refills! Service was speedy and very attentive. Our server, Tejaswi, was very informative, even telling us which dishes to pack together to preserve their quality! All in all, we had a lovely meal at Amma’s and can’t wait to return to try some more of their extensive menu.

We went here to celebrate the birthday of our friend. We had a large party at a busy time, but still had impeccable service. The food was amazing, and a great sample of South Indian cuisine. Our server, Shreya was incredibly kind and took a photo of our whole birthday party. They also brought out a great birthday dessert for our friend.

Came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday and had an absolute blast! Shreya in particular was amazing and helped us take great group photos. The food was amazing, and they surprised us with some brownies and ice cream at the end, and even played the birthday song over the speakers!

This is a hidden gem. The menu is quite extensive. We tried various vegetarian options and hope to come back and try other things, like the fish. The service was quite attentive and the place was located in an accessible place.
