This being a South Indian restaurant, I ordered Veg Kuthu Porotta and didn’t depend my decision. I reached there just before afternoon break and yet they were welcoming. The food was served quick and the porotta tatsed awesome with the raita. The portion was Really good and filled me up easily. The spiciness level was accurate and the food seemed authentic.

One of the worst South Indian restaurants far by quality and taste.This was a good 30 mins ride from home to this place and the expectations hit ground level when we tasted it for the first time.The Chettinad chicken was so watery and very salty.The Chicken 65 was a horrendous small portion of dry chicken just tossed in some weird spices.And the Malabar Parrotta could never be eaten even by a Sabre tooth!! It was so hard and rubbery.Worst experience doing take out here.Don’t recommend this place ever and never going back again.

This is a very special place for true Southern Indian cuisine! You will not see any typical Indian art or statues, no paintings of gods either. This place is actually Indian owner and run! Let the colorful walls and the sound of classic jazz keep you company as you await some of the best Indian food in the entire area, if not the entire country. Made to order, dairy free and vegan available. Great personalized service!!

I had a horrible experience today with southern spice. I ordered naan and chicken tikka and the naan was not cooked properly and the chicken tikka had no flavor and tasted bland. I would give it a 0/10 if I could. Years ago they used to be good but not anymore.

I like the way their food tasted but it’s too pricey I would say I mean $17 for 5 pieces butter chicken I don’t know how I feel about that. The butter chicken was kinda watery I didn’t mind but they also gave us no spoon fork or napkins ( it was an Uber eats order). Also they put two different orders rice together (awkward kinda having to share with my coworkers).

It’s a nice restaurant and a healthy Indian food. I always pass this place and be telling my wife that we go eat soon at this place and we finally did. The food was good and good service. We got there early like right after 1130 (that’s when they open) and in half an hour it filled with ppl for lunch.

The biryani is not for a connoisseur .. it is pretty basic, paneer chetinnad was very bland nothing chettinad style .. the three stars are for samosa chat and dosa.
