About

A casual South Indian-style vegetarian cafe known for its large variety of dosas, samosas, and curries, with many dishes that are vegan or can be made vegan. Prices are very affordable, often cited as great value, with meals under $8 for two including beverages. While the food is flavorful and portions generous, some reviews note occasional issues with cleanliness and busy service during peak hours.
