Average quality food and portion not worth money

We visited the place yesterday with much expectation of having some Kerala food. We were thinking of ordering starters first however the person who took our order warned us it will be busier later and hurry up with our order. Neither did we see the shop get busier later nor we got the food within anticipated time. After so much of waiting we got cold and stale malabar parathas which looked like previous day’s considering the shop opened only 1 hour before our arrival.

And they even gave a freshly made idli for my lil baby to nibble on. Thank you! Friendly, courteous and knowledgeable Host. Excellent chefs. Nothing more but to revisit this restaurant for an amazing and...
