I had been wanting to dine at this place for a very long time. This is just about 1 km from cubbon park and the road is too beautiful, so it becomes a nice walk from there. The place is actually small, though its very old and quite famous. Food is definitely very yummy here. The butter masala dosa tastes really good. The quality of the dosa, the softness and the crispiness, the perfectly balanced potato masala etc takes this a new level. Also, here, the dosa did not have the usual red chutney. It was a green chutney inside the masala dosa which gave it a very unique flavour. The tea was ok, I did not quite enjoy it. Place is too crowded even if its 10.30 am for breakfast. Service was ok, which was understandable with the huge rush. Overall, definitely a place to try the dosa. It is slightly expensive compared to other south indian breakfast places.
The food was excellent. We had dosa and coffee. The dosa has a very crispy crust, something which I like, with thick sambhar and coconut chutney. They even served a little amount of pure desi ghee to go along with dosa. Everything was well cooked and tasty.
The decor and furniture were workman like and is cleaned very thoroughy every time customer depart after consuming meal. The place seems to have a steady stream of customers for the nearly 45 minutes that we spent there. Staff were courteous and the food was on the table real quick.The prices are very reasonable, considering the quality that is on offer.
The only little hassle we had was with payment of bill. It was after a very long time that we were presented with bill for payment. And maybe they could have better arrangement where you can wash your hands.
On the whole a very enjoyable and satisfying experience and one can understand why this place is amongst the top rated restaurants.
I had Masala Dosa amd Filter coffee. The dosa was very tasty and heavy with loads of ghee. And the filter coffee was ok ok not bad nor good. The service ws little slower.
