Best of South Indian: Idli – Sambar: The authentic South Indian sambar is supposed to have a hint of sweetness. Every time we visit Chutneys, I request them to bring sambar, without added sugar. And they always provide one. Generally, the guy taking the order asks if you want Idli’s dunk in Sambar or you want them both separately. So, you can ask them as you like them. I personally always prefer my idli’s floating in sambar, I feel like it makes every bite of it completely packed with that sambar flavor. Without missing even a single portion white.
Vada: This is my all-time favorite dish to order. They serve them during only certain fixed times of the day, as the Vadas are best consumed when recently made. After they get cold, they lost the crunchiness and get all soggy. Those piping hot Vadas with a crunchy exterior and soft pillowy interior dipped in that hot sambar are a treat to your tastebuds you just can not resist.
Poori: Three huge pooris are served with a really small sized Katori of aloo sabzi. Which is actually pretty bland. The quantity of aloo sabzi was very less, so I requested to bring some more, they readily got me a refill.
Dahi vada: Came in a huge bowl. Quantity is really good. Topped with lots of boondi. As much as I can recall it contains three small to medium amounts of vadas. I found the taste just okay. Honestly, the amount of boondi got a bit too much. It kind of overpowered the taste of those vadas.
Uthappam: The top of the uttapam was very crispy with a soft bottom. The top was filled with lots of sesame seeds. If you don’t like sesame seeds is not a good option for you, as it was literally packed with them. Loved the flavors, would recommend.
Dosas: Masala Dosa: Very filling Dosa. Crispy exterior filled with such flavorful filling. A classic yet delicious plate of dosa.
Onion Rawa Masala Dosa: This one is one of the heaviest dish options. I couldn’t finish it all by myself. Yet so so delicious that I just couldn’t stop eating either. Must try.
Mushroom Dosa: Being a mushroom lover, I just love their mushroom dosa. It has a very good amount of filling, a generous amount of good quality and fresh mushrooms tastes really good.
Garlic Dosa: At first it sounded weird, but we decided to give it a try. And we actually loved it. If you like the taste of garlic, and you like eating garlic naans, you will definitely love it. The quantity of garlic is really good. And they are chopped very nicely too.
Paneer Tikka Dosa: Paneer pieces were quite sweet while the gravy was a bit spicy. So it was kind of a weird combination. It was okay.
Best of North Indian: Paneer Butter Masala: We asked them to make it spicy, and it tasted great. I wasn’t expecting north Indian food to be that good here, expecting it to be more of a dosa place, but they definitely proved us wrong.
Chole Bhature: They serve one huge sized bhatura. Bhatura was good, not very greasy. But I didn’t like their chole. They were not very flavorful and kind of bland.
Malai Kofta: I would never recommend you order it, honestly even the waiter warned us while we were ordering it, that it’s going to be really sweet. And asked us to reconsider, but we thought of giving it a shot anyway. And omg it was actually very very sweet. Thick gravy and heavy paneer balls packed with dry fruits.
Garlic Naan, Lacha parantha, masala kulcha: They were all good. I would highly recommend trying their...

Read moreRight next to my workplace and nestled in the infamous Inorbit Mall Hyderabad . If you look for Quality perhaps this is the place you should be considering.
Type of Resturant : Pure Vegeterian Cuisine : South Indian , however they serve A lot of north indian / Chinese stuff too . USP : Dosas, Idlys , thalis and Chutneys!
Here is my P.A.S.T.A Review
P ( Parking ) - 5/5 - Ample parking available as its in Inorbit Mall , Lifts are a problem though if you are in prime weekend hours. Parking is free if you show your food receipt while exiting
A(Ambiance ) - 4/5 - Decent decor and sturdy furniture , I would't rate this a fine dine , it gets a bit noisy and not very quiet . Vegetarians who visit inorbit mall for shopping are the usual occupants. Its busy on weekends but they have a good waiting area , no pre-reservations accepted.
S(Service ) - 5/5 - Super quick service if you order regular stuff and quick service if you order not so standard stuff. No complaints here
T(Taste and Quality ) - 4/5 - Decent Taste but not out of the world tasty, however you get different kinds of chutneys which are tasty ( around 6 of them ) and they maintain utmost hygiene at the restaurant , The spice levels are mild to moderate and same goes with the usage of Oil. Even westerners can enjoy a sumptuous South Indian meal here.
A(Affordability ) - 3/5 - The price point is a bit weak here and for the stuff that you get , they have kept it higher than normal ( Outsource quality comes for a price ).
Overall experience 5/5 : Very impressive and quite fulfilling , a must visit with your family.
Cons :Though there aren't many cons that I can think of but they should stop bottled water supplies as its not that Eco friendly. They do this across their branches and I don't understand why , its not that hard to provide filtered...
