The star of beverages was paan shot - so lip smacking delicious creamy and perfect for a hot humid day. Masala dosa stole the show to the point we ordered one more to relish it again. Their sambhar was delicious too (I never really finish sambhar easily but this one hit perfectly in flavors). Their medu vada were tight and bit dry - wont order again. The onion uttapam came under cooked and so I had to sent it back, and didn't have another 25 minutes to wait for a fresh one. Service was good and staff were courteous. This place has ample street parking around. You might have to drive around to find one though.

I knew Rasoi was great 25 years ago but got a bit distracted by the various newcomers in town…read more Thankfully my Rasoi renaissance is underway. In the first visit of modern times I got the dazzling Rasoi Platter, a tandoori meat combo. For the next trip, I went with someone more vegetable-focused and the non-meat side of the menu was still impressive, including the energetic methu malai mutter. My last visit was the weekend lunch buffet. Whoa. I revisited the superb tandoori chicken and enjoyed the curry lamb, but the fun isn't limited to carnivores as the best thing here might be the incendiary chilli mushrooms.

I don't know why people would say Dahi Puri Chaat is good here---I saw that in reviews on Google…read moremaps and so ordered via DoorDash since I had ordered food from a nearby kebab place. Anyway they didn't even actually make the dahi puri! They just put the puri with some potatoes dry in a container and then on the side gave tiny chutney containers for the yogurt, tamarind sauce & green chutney. Ok if you're putting it separately to avoid sogginess then at least give enough for the dish. It was laughable how stingy they were. Dahi puri is supposed to have LOTS of yogurt and instead this minuscule container of completely watery "yogurt" was not even enough to fill 2 of the puri. $10 plus tax & tip for this?? Also since they didn't make anything why did they keep the driver waiting for SO long? What a complete waste of money & time.

We got a couple of different curries for the table, naan, and some rice. Met my expectations as far as Indian food goes - savory with a nice kick. Personally, I thought they give you plenty of food for the price and it made for a nice breakfast the next day. Would definitely be back if I'm in the area!

I went to Deccan Spice for lunch since I heard that they had a great biryani. The place was empty…read moreon a weekday at lunchtime. The waiter was very friendly and helpful. I wish that they offered some sort of lunch special, but unfortunately they only have one set menu. They had a lot of seating, and a lounge area as well. I ordered the Deccan special biryani. It comes with boneless chicken, which is actually a favorite of mine that not a lot of places offer. The biriyani was really good, one of the best I've had in a while. It's perfectly spiced and flavorful with a generous portion. It can easily be shared between 2 or 3 people. Overall, I plan on coming back when I'm in the area. The biryanis in Manhattan do not compare to this. I personally do not prefer the Dum style biriyani, so I was very happy the special was a regularly prepared dish. However, they do offer dum biryani as well.

This was marked as two chili peppers and it was truly spicy. Both the chutney spread on the inside and the green chilis packed a strong punch of heat. The dosa itself could have been crispier as it got soft within a few minutes of it sitting on the table. WOULD I GO BACK? Maybe. Some dishes we tried were better than others.

You will see multiple different restaurants within a span of hundred meters... and I'm sure you'll be confused where to eat.. if you're craving for a good south Indian spicy food food I strongly suggest this restaurant.. it's also BYOB.. fantastic service.. the biggest headache is parking.. It's hard to get street parking and I had to pay about $12 for the parking... if not for the parking this restaurant has only positives . I also had food in their Edison branch. We ordered chicken Chuka and it was really peppery and good.. perfect South Indian aRoma and taste.. my friend had fish fry and he just loved it.. there were five or six small pieces of the fry.. I still think it's slightly expensive about $20-$22 for the fish and generally all of the dishes.. the best one was dindukal thalapakatti biryani . Nice and very tasty . Good experience overall. Wanted to give a 4 star but gave a 5 star just for the taste and service !!!
