I was told about this place by my cousins. As soon as I heard about their menu, I decided to go on a weekend for lunch. We as a family we're deciding what each one wants to have but when we reached there we came to know that lunch is their family special lunch that's served on a banana leaf unlimited. Well, while we are here let's try it we thought. It's not a very big place so seating is limited. I see a lot of take outs being taken by people, which could be because of the limited seating. Anyhow we had to wait for ten minutes and then we got seated. We were served with water and drinks that we asked for and then a banana leaf was placed for each one of us and one by one things started getting served. My initial thought was that it's a Kerala cuisine but based on some of the dishes that I tasted, it seemed like it's from Andhra too. We had asked for meat sadya but if you're vegetarian you do get everything vegetarian food. One gets a variety of veg and non-veg dishes, kerala parotta is served with chicken curry. It was such a delicious experience having hot, soft and tasty Kerala parotta and this chicken curry indeed was that of Kerala State. As I was relishing this, we were served with different types of biriyani. I loved the thalaserri biriyani the most as I am bored of dum biryani/Hyderabad biriyani, it's the same taste hence I didn't enjoy their dum biryani. So you will get two to three different biriyanis to taste and if you need more they will serve you more. One call out, if you have tasted fish curry from Kerala with kodam pulli in it then you will never like other fish currys because that's how the meen curry tastes, here the fish curry was not from Kerala. This feast was too much for me hence I didn't ask for seconds. They also give you buttermilk with spices added which has a very cooling effect for this hot weather. There's payasam and gulab jamun for dessert. It was delicious. The service is great, the servers are very polite and friendly. They have one restroom which is unisex and only one can go at a time. Overall we enjoyed our experience and we left with a plan to visit here for dinner so we can taste other items from their menu. If you're ready to try different southern Indian food then do visit them. Parking could be a little challenging as you will have to park across the street and walk towards this restaurant. Be patient and enjoy their...
Read moreThe owners and staff are very kind and polite. I have been to this restaurant six times in one month now. Their menu is pan Indian but with a south Indian focus. Its strength is in its Andhra style dishes. The dish I recommend the most is the weekend banana leaf Thali meal. Come at 11:30 am to 2:30 pm. It is worth trying this. They have both veg and non veg option. The other one dish that stands out for me is there andhra style fish curry. It is tangy and spicy. I believe they use fresh cat fish fillet. Their Iranian chai is very unique chai that i have not seen served anywhere. The Iranian chai is very milky creamy tea with their secret masala. I think I can taste cardamom, cloves and some oregano even. The place is always clean. The washroom is clean. They are a new establishment and they are off to a good start. Their biryani are ok. The best biryani I felt was the malabar biryani chicken. Their second best biryani for me was the mutton ambur. The awadhi biryani they need to tone down masala. For the awadhi biryani I recommend studying the famous idrees biryani recipe in lucknow. I would request to introduce malabar fish biryani made with red snapper or king fish. Make it a weekend special. Also for the veg Thali can you introduce the saag daal that are sold in Andhra mess in India. The prawn masala is good also but I suggest use smaller size fresh prawn and also have the head. The prawn head releases flavor into the masala. I will definitely be back for the weekend meals. Part 2: went back tried their poori chicken meal. Hot fresh poori with hot Chennai style chicken gravy. Fantastic kept the authentic flavor but reduced spice level. I eaten same dish in Chennai but it was obviously more spicy....
