I came here on a Thursday night under high recommendations from others. My expectations were high, i was excited! 7:00pm, walk in and there's a quiet, empty ambiance to the place. We got to choose where we sat and were promptly given beverages and the menu. On the center of the table is their form of a lazy susan. 3 tea candles and a holder above it to hold your meal - it's not just to light up your table :) I ordered the Kadai Murg - a boneless chicken dish in a spicy tomato like sauce with green peppers. Flavour was good. It had a good amount of spice to it. Sides are to be ordered separately - they do not come with anything. I ordered the saffron rice and my friend ordered the garlic naan. Rice was alright. Nothing outstanding, but a good balance with the Kadai Murg to soak up the sauce. The garlic naan was really good. Very strong fresh garlic flavour - prob the best thing on the table. My friend ordered the Tandoori Chicken. 5 pieces of chicken, bone in, served on a sizzling platter. The aroma was heavenly. The taste? meh. It was overly salted... but cooked alright. It wasn't too dry, but it's not something that stood out other than the initial smell. Probably should have ordered the butter chicken for a better evaluation... the service was good. The owner seemed very nice. Overall, it was an okay experience. Did it live up to the hype I received from others? no. Was it decent food? yes. For the portion size (it's quite a bit of food, but for $20 a dish plus a side to go with it), it's alright.

Items ordered Medu Vada, Sambar Vada, Chicken 65, Kara Masala Dosa and Mysore Masala Dosa…read more We loved every bit that was ordered, the Vada's were perfect, the chutney served was amazing, the Dosa's reminded me of actual south Indian Dosa's that I have had in India. Chicken 65 was not as per our taste, the owner Raja was kind enough and tried to make us another plate and we still didn't like it that much and was so nice that he took it back - he took any feedbacks we gave so well and was a pleasant person to deal with. I understand the food order takes time, I would advice to place your orders ahead - but I also understand the reason why they take time - firstly they are always busy, any day of the week plus the food is freshly made so the taste stays intact and that's what makes this place special. If you have patience, definitely try the two Dosa's for sure PS: couldn't take pictures of all the food coz we just attacked on it asap it came

Tried this Indian restaurant while visiting the area while on business trip…read more All I can say is the food is delicious and made to perfection, I had experienced this place twice during my trip. First time I had ordered via Uber Eats, and was delighted by the taste of the Biriyani that I ordered, very well cooked and packaged. I visited the place two days later in person. The place has a full bar, and good seating arrangements, and has South Indian music playing. They had a menu with many South Indian speciality items. Service was friendly and super quick, I felt that the tables were a bit smaller than normal. We ordered a chicken lollipop, Goat Chukka Biriyani, Garlic Naan and Beef Chukka Masala curry. The biriyani, naan and lollipop are all made perfectly and tasted great. I don't recommend the beef chukka masala. Highly recommend this place for delicious Indian food if you are in Kitchener Ontario.
