This place has the robust flavors that you crave for when desiring good Indian food. Everything is cooked and prepared appropriately for the dish and tastes like individually executed projects vs. just putting ingredients together. Amazing dining option for A South Indian cuisine.

Closed without update on Google. If you want authentic South Indian food, go here. Service was OK the day we went because the team was overwhelmed by a birthday party being hosted there. My wife and I enjoyed the food. I will go back again and update the review. You must try and eat the food with your hands.

We went in yesterday as soon as they opened around 11:15 AM. All the tables were dirty and wasn’t able to find a clean one. I had to clean my table that too after opening the restaurant in the morning.

Best Indian food in San Antonio so far!!!! Very authentic. The restaurant is not very fancy but don’t let the looks fool you. The food is top notch! It’s like eating in the streets of India. You will not be disappointed!!!

The food was good for most part. One of the puri is a oily. The chutneys for vada were not great. The sambar was ok. Biryani and Appetiser were the stars of our dinner. Bonus points for biodegradable plates!!

It’s newly opened hence we decided to try. Looks like they won’t offer buffet on weekends (not disappointed)so we ordered items. As vegetarian it’s one of the best restaurants in San Antonio.
