The food was of excellent quality and taste. Enjoyed authentic South Indian dishes. No skimping on the vegetables either. The taste was mouth watering and delicious. The service was great. The dishes were brought out in a timely manner and we were able to enjoy them. I will highly recommend the place if you want an authentic Indian vegetarian meal.
