Had a wonderful meal here. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and comfortable. The idli sambar was soft, fresh, and full of authentic flavour. The appam was perfectly made, and the kadala curry was rich, aromatic, and beautifully spiced. The pani puri was crisp, refreshing, and very enjoyable. You can really taste the care and attention that goes into the food. Friendly service and a great overall experience. Looking forward to visiting again.

We had been to this place 3 years ago and we came back to enjoy Chef Sathyamurthy’s food again! The service is just amazing / they make lot of efforts to accommodate our allergies and were super friendly! Ajay at the restaurant was also very patient and kind making sure we get everything without allergens. Thanku for a fantastic lunch! The chef went out of his way to make a different dessert just for us - without any allergens. Now we just have to go nap after such an amazing lunch! We will definitely come back during our next trip.

We had a wonderful meal at Dhamroo and felt genuinely looked after from the moment we arrived. The staff were warm, friendly, and incredibly accommodating, especially as we were dining with small children. Rakshith, ( ?the owner) took the time to check in on us and made sure everything was just right, which really added a personal touch to the experience.
The food was outstanding. The idli vada combination is an absolute must-try comforting, fresh, and seriously addictive. The prawn dish was out of this world, and the lamb cutlet was beautifully cooked, full of flavour, and clearly a highlight. Mocktails are great, albeit a limited selection, but well done. Do not miss the masala chai to finis it’s excellent. There’s paid parking nearby, which makes visiting very convenient. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with great food, thoughtful service, and a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.

Loved the authentic Indian flavours in every dish we tried here. There's a good mix of traditional and inventive dishes. Portions are generous and the 3 course menu and thalis cover every taste spectrum one could want in a meal. Particularly loved the tandoori prawns, lamb samosa and the mouth watering idli sambhar. Take a full appetite if attempting the large thali. Topped off with a cup of strong Indian masala chai. The staff is attentive and friendly making for a warm dining experience. Cozy, elegant ambience.
