I understand that every restaurant is trying to make a living, and this review is not intended to hurt anyone’s business. However, as diners, we also expect a certain standard. I’m sharing this feedback to help other diners make an informed choice. Unfortunately, the food standard at this restaurant seems to have dropped. The appam we ordered was burnt, which made me wonder if there was an issue with the pan or cooking equipment. The overall ambience and cleanliness were also disappointing. The hand-washing area and toilet were dirty, and the restaurant itself looked quite rundown. This also raised concerns about the overall hygiene and food-handling standards. If you are specifically looking for appam, I would recommend the one at Tekka Market instead. We chose this restaurant on this occasion because the parking at Tekka was full. If I’m not mistaken, both restaurants used to be under the same management, although I’m not sure if that is still the case. Overall, I hope the management will take this feedback positively and look into the food quality, cleanliness, and general upkeep of the restaurant.

I would say upfront that the food is still ok. However, 3 things made it such a horrible experience. Firstly, the poori served by the cashier is crushed on top of one another, even the top one is crushed. Is it normal? Ok, I accept, since it would go into my stomach crushed too. I would have preferred one nice poori for photography, as the adjacent competitor stall was having many perfect dome shaped poori. Secondly, I ordered 1 chocolate appam set together. The cashier acknowledged and repeated back 1 set. When ready, he gave me 2 sets, and he insisted I ordered 2 sets. Ok, fine since the appams have been prepared, I took it without arguing further. Maybe there was miscommunication. Thirdly, this is the last thing that shows there is something wrong on the other side. After giving the cashier a ten dollar note for the poori set and appam set, he put the ten dollar in one hand, while getting the money from the other customer. Next I gave him the 2nd piece of ten dollar note, due to the "extra" chocolate appam order. Now he claims I have only given him 1 ten dollar note. At this time, someone behind me (presumably his co worker) muttered something to him, and he unwillingly gave me the change. Please do not serve 2 customers at a time, if multi-task is not a strength. Or at least write down the order on a piece of paper. Advise the owner to do something about this especially in a touristy region.

Quick bite the service was so fast we woke up at 6 and we were hungry we just walked from our hotel and this place was open. The people that were working there were really nice and welcoming. We had idli, rava dosa with varieties of chutneys. The only thing you will notice is that you won’t get any spoons, forks the expectation is to wash your hands in a sink before eating and use your hands to eat.

The appam was really really nice, soft in the middle and crispy on the sides. We also asked the cook to make us Sri Lankan style appam with the coconut milk in the centre. The dosas were nice and crispy and the dhal and chutneys were also delicious. We tried the chicken varuval and the mutton which was also good.

Pepper chicken, podi thosai and chicken masala thosai While waiting for these to be cooked, I got myself mini podi idly, vadai and puranpoli Chutney and sambar were self-serve Loved all the food items Would have enjoyed the vadai more if I could have remembered to ask for curd to go with it, or maybe rasam, or even sweet chutney but I was hungry and they tasted great with the house chutneys and the sambar I liked their recommended chicken masala thosai so much that I ordered one to go
