Visited this place after a long time for dinner. We had to wait for about half an hour and stepped into the restaurant by 9.45pm. I was surprised when I was told that the thali is still available. I was craving for a perfect meal at the end of the day after a hectic schedule. The thali was really a blessing. On seeing it, immediately started eating and hence, the photo was clicked in the middle of having dinner. The dishes were all served hot in a big plate with small dabaras unlike the katoris we find usually in other restaurants. We ordered the madras meal. It had 2 poori, their signature dish and favourite among many. The mix veg kurma was perfect, not spicy at all but the texture was smooth. The rice was served hot with ghee. We had Sambar and rasam which was typical karnataka style. The Kaara kulambu was not spicy as well. The potato, peas n raw banana curry was good. The chow chow kootu tasted yummy. The Appalam was a big one. The raita n curd were good too. Finally, there was vanilla ice-cream to complete the meal. The ice-cream was really creamy and delicious. Would definitely recommend this place for the hot and fresh meals especially for dinner. The staff were courteous and the service was good. Update about delivery: the mysore bonda was good. Had poori with potato masala, that tastes so...

I would give it 3.5 but for the preserved process still the same and I went after 11 years since my last visit, everything is maintained the same way . Let me tell you that we've had 2 wedding receptions hosted and a few other private events here as well over the last 2 decades so the 5/5 comes weighing in from all of the experiences. Now for the food. You have to experience it. It's delicious and vegetarian. Staff are attentive and not favoring frequent visitors differently so again reason for distinction. We had to wait in the lobby till all of our group members arrived and then we walked in to request seating accommodations otherwise it is an open seating system. Price is nominal and on point. I would definitely go again for the food and the Grape Juice has not changed in 4 decades I've since first tasted it. Lunch time is a limited menu as focus is on the Thali/Meals instead of other tiffin or short eats. Be prepared to spend a good time here be it waiting or enjoying the food in...
