Read moreThis restaurant owns one of my earliest childhood memories. From visiting with my dad to get take-out food on special occasions to growing up and meeting up friends at this spot, one thing that has remained constant is the kind of food quality that you get here, which is unparalleled in taste!
I've visited this place perhaps uncountable times and have had pretty much everything on the menu, both old and new.
Some of my favorites and must-try dishes are: Bacon wrapped prawns Pork salad Chicken chilli baffath/pulimunchi Squid pepper garlic/pulimunchi Pork chilli/sorpotel/garlic/roast/chops and others Beef chilli/garlic/65/roast and others And not to mention, Phat Freddie or Goan Phat Freddie Burgers!
These dishes are extremely good and a classic; you'll never be able to leave the plate empty!
The service here is decent to good. Some times it gets a little busy and then it's a bit slow, but no complaints otherwise. Management are friends, so I won't say much 😛.
Parking is on the street in front of or a little ahead of the restaurant and it's safe to say that there's no problem in finding a parking spot.

Exactly the sort of thing that pulls in the crowd that was at the table next to ours: a large group of laughing and chatting people, enjoying beer and beer-friendly eats.
The first room we entered was occupied only by men, either solo or in twos, mostly all with alcohol along with the food. The room beyond that was obviously the 'family' space: women and children allowed and common.
We ordered several dishes, since half-portions of some of their best-selling dishes are available: pork masala (bafat), pork chilli, beef sukka, mix vegetable kurma, neer dosa and appams. Every dish was delicious, though we agreed that the bafat, pork chilli and kurma were especially good. And for just Rs 1200 (including two beers and a Coke), excellent...
