Overall, we had a good experience at this restaurant. The ambience is nice and pleasant, making it a good place to dine with family or friends. The food was decent. We tried crispy corn, which was good and nicely done. The Ulavacharu veg biryani was also good and flavorful. However, the American Chopsuey was not up to the mark for us as the sauce was too sweet and didn’t suit our taste. Apart from that, everything else was fine. Good place for a casual meal, and I’d be open to trying other dishes next time. 😊

Ordered the Veg Thali, Dwarka Pulav, and Ragi Mudde with Mutton Curry. Overall, it was a wholesome experience and the taste felt truly authentic South Indian. The Dwarka Pulav is a must-try. The mutton quality and flavor genuinely surprised me, easily better than the military biryani at Antera. The Ragi Mudde with mutton curry was spot on, spicy, smooth, and exactly how it should be. Loved the presentation too. Metal cutlery (looked like copper) and plates lined with banana leaves gave a very traditional feel. Hot food served on that just hits differently. Only downside was the table, it kept shaking, which felt out of place given how good everything else was. But honestly, the food made us forget it. One small issue with service: we ordered a Veg Thali and were served sambar rice, but later found out it’s charged separately and not part of the thali. Since we couldn’t finish everything, we had to pack it. Staff guidance on ordering could definitely improve. Also, they serve paan with the Veg Thali, it would be nice if that was extended to all diners. Despite these small issues, I’d definitely visit again.
