These spicy, flavorful treats are made using traditional recipes that capture the essence of South Indian street food, making them a favorite among the South Indian diaspora in the USA.

Mirchi Bajji: This dish features large green chilies coated in a seasoned gram flour (besan) batter and deep-fried to golden perfection. The chilies are typically stuffed with a tangy and spicy filling, which can include tamarind, spices, and sometimes a mix of mashed potatoes. The result is a crispy, flavorful snack with a delightful kick of heat.

Cut Mirchi: A variation of mirchi bajji, cut mirchi is made by slicing the fried chilies into smaller pieces and refrying them until extra crispy. These pieces are often garnished with chopped onions, coriander, and a sprinkle of chaat masala, enhancing their flavor and texture.

The people in this restaurant are not at all bothered about customer satisfaction. I have ordered through UberEats and the ordered delivered was not the right order. Though I have ordered through UberEats, I still had the patience to go to the restaurant and asked them to replace the order. There was one person at the front desk who was very impolite and impatient. When I explained him the exact scenario, he was like "It is not my problem, we have given the right order and it is the driver who has done the mistake". I have tried to explain it clearly that the least you could do for customer satisfaction is replace the order as the fault is with the Restaurants brand. He was becoming even more impatient and said "Wait for the driver to arrive and take your order" . I even expalined that the food would become cold and It might not be worth the wait. After explaining so much, he still held his ground saying that we have counts and the owner would not be happy if the count does not match. Finally, I had to give up and even left my order at his desk. "This is the first time I am writing a negative review for a restaurant and this could explain the service of the people working there." I hope my experience helps people looking for better...
