Decent food, terrible service, nasty washroom. If it weren't from the washroom I'd come back... I like being able to wash my hands. They didn't have any soap left and the bottle they have was covered in something nasty... There were two empty soap dispensers. No paper towels, only a hand dryer... I didn't want to touch the taps. Not all the lights in the washroom work. Fortunately my sister keeps sanitizer with her
We got their just after 6pm on a Sunday, only one table had people but shortly after it got quite busy. It's tight so my chair kept bumping into the person at the table behind me
They asked if we wanted the Manchurian Idly to come first and dosa's later, we agreed... It came out with no plates. We waited a bit then had to ask for plates. They only had spoons at our table, we took forks from another table
Dosa's did not come out together... Not even close because the first two were cold by the time the next two came and even colder by the time the 5th person got their dosa
Table consensus: if it was meant to be spicy then it had a decent kick to it. All the dosa's came with a lot of stuffing, which is pretty rare these days and their is a jain menu.
Jamun shots are pretty thick with pulp, I wouldn't call it a shot.
Manchurian Idly tasted deep fried and was in a spicy sauce, it was a good change from the dry style you find elsewhere.
The Mysore bhaji masala dosa has chaat masala in it, a bit different from what I've had before. I'd rather have the regular Mysore dosa instead because it's too different of a flavor combined with Mysore paste. Cheese masala, chaat masala, spinach masala and spring masala dosas were all good
Some dosa's come cut, they don't specify which ones
It's an Indian vegetarian place but there is mayo in a few of their dishes. The menu didn't specify if it was egg free... We didn't...
