When you fancy a taste of home, this place is a great option. The restaurant was kind enough to hold our table even though we were late. There is a separate kids menu and the kids food came out quick which is always helpful. There are lots of options in terms of the food and the dosa menu is extensive. The dosa themselves are soft but crispy and come with generous amounts of filing. The paneer 65 was great, just the right amount of heat balanced perfectly with the mint sauce.

We had a wonderful time at this authentic South Indian restaurant. The restaurant was full, but the ambiance inside was calm and relaxing. We booked a table in advance, which worked out well in the end, and the manager was kind enough to call and confirm our arrival when we were a little late.

We loved the food. The authentic flavors almost took me back home. The service was prompt and the staff were friendly always with a smile on their face.

The prices seemed a little high compared to the portions, but the food, ambiance, and service made up for it.

We love exploring new places for food, so we decided to give this restaurant a try today. The atmosphere is quite charming and definitely gives off a strong Indian vibe, especially with the beautiful artwork on the walls.

The service, however, was just okay. One downside was that there were no options to choose different spice levels. We requested our food to be extra spicy, but were told that everything is served at the same spice level, which was a bit disappointing.

We ordered a plain dosa but were served a masala dosa instead, which was fine in the end. The dosa itself was tasty, and I enjoyed the two chutneys that came with it. However, the sambar didn’t meet my expectations at all – it tasted more like water with some spices rather than a proper sambar, dosa wasn't served warm.

Unfortunately, the chicken biryani was the worst I’ve had, even compared to other places in Sweden. It was a huge letdown, and the raita served alongside was too runny and didn’t taste fresh. The portion size was only sufficient for one person.

On a brighter note, the mango lassi was good, and the Indian chai was alright, but overall, I wasn’t impressed with this restaurant. The experience felt like a waste of money given the high prices and the quality of the food. I wouldn’t recommend it based on this visit.

This is one of the worst South Indian restaurants I have ever tried. Everything is overly spicy and lacks authenticity. Apart from the dosas, everything else is disappointing.
