Simply South - Indian Vegetarian Restaurant

Good South Indian food. Nothing to write home about. Presentation was unique but that doesn’t whet the appetite. What surprised me we ordered a lunch thali and papad on the warm rice and be as soggy. It’s quite surprising that the common sense, that papad placed on a warm rice bowl and puri on top of it will become soggy, didn’t prevail here.

We went for lunch on a weekday but they didn’t disappoint one bit. We ordered ghee karam thatte idly, benne veg kheema dosa and thali. The food came fast. Quality was outstanding and taste of each and every dish was out of this world. We got a chutney tower with 6-7 kinds of chutneys and each one tasted very good. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The ambience was great. Overall, thoroughly impressed with every aspect of this restaurant. Highly recommend!!

We visited simply south McKinney on Sunday for dinner. We waited for about 10-15 mins before we were seated. Ambience is very good especially the main hall, the other hall was small and mainly for small parties or bigger group. I felt lighting there could be better. Service was great, took our orders and was served quick. Hot a chutney tower which was not clean. Ordered davangere benne dosa, tatte idli, raxa dosa and veg kadai. Tatte idli and rava dosa was good. Davangere benne was under cooked and was missing potato stuffing. Veg kadai had no veggies except bell peppers and paneer. Overall food wasn't impressive at all. One of the staff( cleaners) was on call full time and wasn't attentive at all. And had to keep asking for napkins and cutleries.

Absolutely loved the experience at Simply South! The ambience is warm and inviting, and the restaurant has a spacious layout that makes dining very comfortable. They served six different types of chutneys, which was such a treat — each one flavorful and perfectly complementing the dishes. The Rava Dosa was outstanding — crisp, light, and incredibly delicious. The Idli, Pongal, and Vada combo was equally impressive — fresh, authentic, and full of traditional South Indian flavors. Overall, a fantastic experience with great food and atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic South Indian cuisine!
