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.
