My recent visit on fathers day with family for the lunch buffet offered a bit of a mixed experience, though some elements truly shone. While the food was good, it leaned towards the bland side, and the buffet options felt a little uninspired. With a few subtle tweaks, the offerings could be far more appealing. Adding a traditional rasam, a flavorful fry curry, a paneer curry and some crispy papad would undoubtedly create a more complete and enticing lunch spread. Additionally, the food wasn't warm enough, which unfortunately detracted from the overall taste. Warm food always enhances the dining experience. However, the undisputed highlight of the entire meal was the Irani Chai. This exceptional offering was truly a game-changer! As someone who has searched extensively, I can confidently sa

If you think you know dosa, think again—because chocolate dosa completely changes the game. Traditionally, dosa is a crispy, golden South Indian crepe made from fermented rice and lentil batter. But when chocolate enters the picture? It becomes a dessert masterpiece. Imagine a perfectly thin, lightly crisp dosa fresh off the griddle, its edges delicately crunchy while the center stays soft and warm.

We live in Canada and were visiting our family friends in NJ. We stopped by this restaurant for lunch on a weekend and were amazed with the authenticity of their Andhra/Chettinad cuisine. We loved the Chilly baby corn, Mutton Sukka (gravy), butter naan and Hyderabadi goat dum biriyani. Please note their spice levels are tad bit high (matches Andhra standards). The spice level we ordered was medium and yet i ended up sweating😁. Overall we loved the restaurant and would recommend this to fans of Chettinadu/Andhra cuisine.

Once we ordered soup, and chicken biryani, and both of them were very tasty and very much reminded me of hyderabadi taste. The quantity was very good and prices are too decent! recommend it highly! At another time, we ordered garlic naan and veggie ( eggplant) and a chicken dish… all the items tasted so well, we lived it. recommend it highly.

The service was amazing, we came in around 9:00 pm and they still were on top of things. Our food came in very quickly and was nice and hot. We ordered chicken 65, gobi 65, garlic naan, veg noodles, and paneer butter masala gravy. The food was delicious and tasted amazing. It was a clean environment with nice music too! The staff was super kind too, we’ll definitely be returning!
