Great SOUTH Indian food – I frequent a large number of restaurants in the city, enjoying the diversity of flavors available in this small menagerie of food and cultures. There is a long wait, yes and it can take a bit to get your food, but a lot of the reviews before mine seem to give a sour image to this restaurant. Comparing the prices to what you would pay in India is just ridiculous, two different lifestyles. Yes it's indian food but this is still America, so keep in mind the prices will reflect as much. There is a massi... read more
Brace your taste buds!! – I love indian food and this place made it hard to do so. If you are into using so many spices that you cannot taste the food then go for it! If you order lamb, good luck, cuz your taste buds, after being assaulted by so many spices, will be hard pressed to find the subtle flavors of the meat. If the meat was cheap and I was trying to make something good out of something bad or cheap, then I would say this place excels at that.
Best Southern Indian – This place has the best uttappam I've had since I was in Bangalore. Definitely a nice change of pace from the mostly mediocre Northern Indian restaurants in the city. Very good.
solid indian, limited in a way – this is a good place, especially if you're into vegetarian meals. limited amount of curries, but different types of dosas (duh) which makes it different. probably some of the best dosas i had because the sambers are really good. the curries are really good too, as well as the beer selection which is unique. 2 issues: 1. the rice with curries doesn't taste like basmatti, or it's super overcooked...everytime i've been there it's been like this 2. what's up with requiring a credit card to place ... read more
Too Costly, Less Quantity, Not worth for the money – 1) The People who dont know about the real value of South Indian Food are being cheated in this place. For a masala dosa which is 1.99 bucks in Fremont Udupi Palace or Hyderabadi Biriyani house, they are charging 11 bucks. 2) the name is "south Indian Restaurant", but they play North Indian Songs(Hindi) which is very irritating. 3) The taste is not bad, but the quantity they give for the money we pay is too less. 4) The wait time is more than the time it took to reach the ... read more
Long Wait, Bad Customer Service – I have to say they have good food, but the long wait and they didn't even apologize when they knew exactly they were wrong. I wouldn't get too mad if the person (the guy who sat us after 50mins wait) didn't say some ridiculous word like "I'm sorry for the wrong perception" BTW, they sat another group ahead of us although we already waited for more 45 mins. Just because we ordered food in the bar (well because we were hungry it's already 930pm). That's not a perception, it's real. He should j... read more
Long wait, good food – You can't really hold the long waits against them, it's a sign of how good the food is. Normally I wouldn't like something this trendy, but it is refreshing by normal Indian restaurant standards. The food is very good, they get the basics right. Dosa's and idli sambar were great, as good as the places in the south bay, except with much better service and ambiance. Beware of the long wait for a table. Oh, and they need to get a real bar, Soju s*cks!
Nice bar, half decent food, lousy Maitre'd – Walked in (3 of us) exactly at 7:48pm to be told that a table would take 20 mins. We nodded politely at each other in agreement and indicated that we'd wait at the bar. At 8:37pm one of us went up to the Maitre'd to inquire and was told "table would take 20 mins". Decided to give it another 15 or 20 mins. Talked to the hostess again at 8:55pm who coolly (with not so much as a single apology) tells us -- "Oh, I suggest that u just eat at the bar. I'm not sure I can get u a table". ... read more
Great Food, Lame Music – Food was outstanding. Cool place, BUT the music was horrible! The place has a great international, hip vibe, but the music is lame KFOG-like vanilla, pop music. If they'd play some world or even lounge music, the place would get a 10.
