nothing of the hype. Just a normal restaurant and food is good. Nothing special. They serve food in tin foil sheets. Banana leaves would have been better. Service is good
It's a decent place to have South style Tamilnadu meals served on banana leaf, serving staff especially those sisters who serve food are too good, they make you feel like home, serves everything nicely. Had lunch here, every item was good. Sitting space is small but good for family. Prices are reasonable, also added the price Chart. Surprised to see Director Rajamouli and his family had food here when they visited Rameshwaram. Overall good mess to have Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
Very tasty food. Service is really good. They serve fast. We tried masala dosa, onion dosa and parota. All of them were tasty.
Nice, tasty pocket friendly food with quick service. This place was very busy in the morning but they served the food in no time. Vada was crunchy and pongal was heavenly but coffee needs improvement.
