In a city obsessed with impossible reservations, this Michelin-starred South Indian hotspot lives up to the hype—mostly. After finally scoring a table (through sheer luck!), here's the unfiltered take on whether the wait is worth it. ✨ Why Everyone's Obsessed ✨ • Gunpowder Dosa: Crispy rice crepe + spiced potato magic = must-order 💥 • Goan Oxtail: Falls off the bone like Indian grandma's cooking 👵🍖 • Passionfruit Pudding: Tart, crunchy, perfect palate-cleanser 🍮 🍽️ Dish-by-Dish Breakdown: MVP: • Dosa: Buttery, crispy, with hidden chili kicks 🌶️ • Oxtail: Rich as Bollywood villains (in a good way) 🎬 Meh: • Scallops: Sweet glaze can't hide the fishy whispers 🐚 • Lobster Curry: Coconut overload drowns the poor lobster 🥥🦞 Surprise Hit: • Parotta: Flaky flatbread = curry sponge 🧽 🌴 Vibe: • Vibrant Kerala-inspired decor (hello, palm fronds!) 🌴 • Tight seating (prepare for neighbor elbow action) 💪 • Service: Smooth but rushed (they need those tables!) ⏱️ 💡 Final Verdict: 8/10 - Great flavors, but not life-changing.
