“ Great food South Indian food choices, made to your pallet. Chicken fried rice and Mutton Gonkura biryani is a must have. ”
“ Excellent food. Every curry tastes good in thali. Why people talk about thali because all items are perfect and unique in taste. I have seen reviews and people say silly reasons. No body talks about food and prices. Reasonable prices and tasty food with good quality. Best place to visit with family to complete a meal below $50. Plate Idly for $6 and plain dosa for $6 and full meal for $19. Perfect meal for a family and students includes dessert. ”
“ I was unsure to order because I never heard this restaurant name from my friends and tried for first time and I don't regret it. We ordered one chicken and goat biryani and taste is good. The special part is rice is different for both.most of restaurants have same base rice and change curry but they had different rice for chicken biryani and mutton biryani. It is spicy which tastes better. ”
