About

Dosas, idli, vada and uttapam are the draw here, with reviewers particularly praising the Mysore dosa, soft idlis, coconut chutneys and sambar. The cafeteria-style dining room has been revamped, and ordering is usually by table QR code; vegan preparation needs checking because the menu also includes dairy and a reviewer reported egg mayonnaise in a kati roll.
