Wouldn’t really recommend for families or if you’re particular about hygiene. But for a solo, quick veg...
Read moreHorrible Experience - Insects in My Food!I recently had breakfast here, and it was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. I was served sambar with insects in it!

I couldn't continue eating after that and immediately lost my appetite. The management did nothing to resolve the issue either.I will never be coming back here, and I strongly advise others to avoid this place if you care about your...
