Every dish we ordered was tasty and full of flavour. I have to commend the warm hospitality shown by everyone there. It genuinely felt more like visiting a family friend’s home than dining at a restaurant. The Kizhi Parotta was excellent, and the signature Kanthari Chicken Paal Curry was outstanding. The Nool Parotta was perfectly crispy, while the Kizhi Parotta was beautifully soaked in the curry, making every bite incredibly satisfying. One thing I appreciated was that they informed us upfront, even before we ordered, that the food would take about 25 minutes to arrive. They delivered it right on time, which set expectations well and showed great professionalism. The $1 cutting chai is absolutely worth trying. Served in authentic glass cups, it adds a nice touch to the overall vibe. It’s slightly on the sweeter side, but still very enjoyable. Overall, this is an affordable restaurant serving high-quality food with genuinely warm and welcoming hospitality. A lovely family-run place that I can definitely see myself visiting often.

The food is sooo good! We ordered the fries with beef, chicken biryani, and the beef dish (I forgot what it's called). All the meat was tender and incredibly flavorful. I can honestly say it tastes authentic. The drinks are really nice, not so sweet and the consistency is thick and milky (even the mango shake). The service was great as well. The ambiance is nice, and the restaurant is air-conditioned, making it a comfortable place to dine. 🖤🖤

One of the best South Indian food I’ve tried! Everything was nice. Pappadums and lamb briyani are a must try.

Why is the shop not full of people? Its one of the best indian food i have ever had and this shop feels like a gem because of the surprising good food. I recommend the butter chicken and tea.
