The seating capacity at this restaurant has recently been expanded, as they have added an upper floor now. This has put an end to the endless waits in long queues, to get a table here. While this is good news for the loyal customers of this restaurant, we were not very pleased with the food this time, and the service could have also been better.
The Rasam, for starters, which is served like a welcome drink during winter, was super spicy. Next, the Mysore Plain Dosa was also extremely spicy and the chilli simply masked all the other flavors in it. The staff was nice enough to replace it though, with plain Dosa, which was a welcome relief. The taste was pretty good, but the chutney had less coconut and more daal in it, and the Sambar was almost insipid and barely had any daal in it!
We ended the rather unsatisfactory meal with Kesari Baath, which was way too sweet and had very sour chunks of pineapple in it. Overall, the meal was quite a disappointment. Besides, one of the waiters couldn't seem to understand basic words and requests and kept bring the wrong things and taking essential things like the chutneys away, for no reason.
The menu seems to have changed a bit; earlier they used to have Appam, which is unfortunately, no longer there. However, one good thing about the food is that minimal oil is used, which is great for those who are calorie conscious.
All said and done, Naivaidyam seems to have lost it's quality. One can only hope that they do something quickly and work on giving a better culinary experience to...
Read moreI had the pleasure of enjoying a delightful lunch at Naivedyam on the first day of the new year. The variety of South Indian dishes offered was impressive, and I was pleased to find that the food was freshly prepared. The dosas were particularly outstanding – perfectly crisp and not the least bit soggy.
The overall quality of the food was excellent, and the coconut chutney served with the dosa added a special touch to the meal. The staff at Naivedyam were quick and hospitable, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The space was impeccably clean, contributing to a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
What stood out was the warm welcome we received with a glass of comforting rasam on a winter noon. My friend and I sampled a range of dishes, including dosa, filter coffee, banana shake, paaiysam, and boondi ladoo. The dosa stood out with its crispiness, and the banana shake was a treat with its thick consistency and real banana pieces. I'm not usually a fan of coffee, but Naivedyam's filter coffee was just right – not too strong, making it enjoyable even for someone like me. The paaiysam served as a delightful dessert, warm and perfectly sweetened.
I highly recommend Naivedyam for those seeking authentic South Indian cuisine in Delhi. The reasonable prices, coupled with the delicious food and excellent service, make it a...
