The food was good but faced the worst service ever in my life. On 29th December me and my family (8ppl) reached the restaurant at 8.45 am and the guy who was serving - his name is "MOHAN" was so damn rude from the minute he saw us. We all ordered pongal, idli and poori and one person alone ordered rava dosa. Rava dosa did not arrive although all the rest of us finished eating and we asked him he said it's getting made and it was 9.30 by the time and so we asked again and he says "oru kal tha iruku adhula 10 dosa la poda mudiyadha wait paunga 5mins" (only one pan is available we can't make 10 dosa at a time wait 5mins). Saying this after waiting for 20-25mins is not cool and we are not there to get such words from him like he is not serving us free food.

We while ordered initially itself had asked for 2idli parcel for kid and that the guy Mohan forgot and again for that he made us wait another 25mins like if it's gonna take so much time tell it and we would have not paid and waited that long stating with kids near the billing counter. Even after all this that guy was rude till the very last minute. The worst service ever and I will never go here although the food was good and I will never recommend this place to anyone and for sure will share this experience with everyone I know so no one makes this mistake of going to this place where they treat customers so badly. MOHAN if you are reading this- if you don't change your attitude you will not grow...

Worst customer service I’ve never had in life. Visited the restaurant with fam with full hope but all went in vein, especially the teller/billing women showing face to everyone. I’ve seen people servicing happily when the restaurant is crowded with more customers but here I felt something upside down☹️they were worried the tables when were being occupied by more people. We as a family request the highest management to look into this issue as soon as possible. I know my one bad suggestion wouldn’t make any changes but please note when we returns from the trip via the same route and when it was a meal time exactly at the same place and asked them about this restaurant, to my surprise my entire family members said “NO” to this restaurant. If I’m not wrong they should be around 20 people minimum. So now hope you will understand that it’s not my only review but the review on behalf of everyone in my family. In fact everyone knows about the ratings nowadays irrespective of literacy....
