This is my most favorite,EVER, since the age of 10. I love the Thali out here.I was having a pretty bad day so far, until I realized that I’m in South Delhi and can definitely make my day by hopping on to my fav joint, which is situated in not-so-popular market & even lesser known by its name, in Delhi. While taking the steps to the joint , it just struck me that what’s the thing that links north Indians to south Indians, and indeed, the answer was right in front of me—–it’s south Indian food. We, North Indians are really fond of Idlis, Dosas, Uthapams and the like. In a city like Delhi, one can find southy food in every nook & corner, any street you name would have a southy eat corner. So, I wondered what is it that makes this restaurant so different from others and found that it is the Simplicity of this place. It’s aura, warmth, and most importantly, the food that makes it stand apart. I’ve been coming to this restaurant from past 22 years now, and believe me, there hasn’t been any bad thing about it, till date. The chefs have never failed to astonish me with their state-of-the-art culinary skills.
Their “South Indian Thali” is to die for. And if you wanna have Delhi’s best Avial, u can get it in Tuesday Dinner and Sunday Lunch. The subzis you would hate eating at home, would indulge you into Gluttony here. The moment you enter the premises, the fragrance of filter coffee, rasam, yummy food, fills your mouth & makes you impatient to the core. By the time order arrives, Appalams are the best way to satiate your senses. The place becomes a delectable joint, for the reason that even North Indian food is more than fantastic, the desi Chinese can beat any mainland joint. North Indian should not be disappointed as the place offers equally tasteful north Indian cuisine too, starting from Chaat items to lip smacking Chhole Bhature, to butter filled Dal makhni, to the most unthoughful dish, Shabnam curry and ending it with super delicious Kulfi Faluda.
Udupi to me what FREDDY’s is to Frank Underwood from the famous American web series House of Cards- just my Kinda place for best southy food. I tell you, y you shouldn’t give it a miss:
Surprisingly reasonable
Few dishes are unlimited in quantity
Super tasty north Indian, Chinese options available
Prompt service
Simple place, exactly for non-pretentious peeps
Next time you’re close to the place, do try it!! Until then, Eat, travel, sleep Repeat!!!
