It was very warm inside the restaurant, on a hotter day it might have been unbearable. Food excellent. Nice staff, seem to enjoy working which is lovely up see. Beautiful ceramic plates, though the tables and chairs not to the same standard. Toilet facilities fine but could be improved, the soap dispenser in the men's was a bit broken. Overall, fantastic, well done to the whole team.

We came from Bournemouth to visit Chessington world of Adventures and Tindli menu was in our bucket list for long time !!! So we clubbed chessington and Tindli. Drove through the whole Tolworth (where v staying) to Croydon Monday evening conjunctions and roadworks !! But the food and experience worth it for all. We tried “Chatti Choru”, “Chatti Poratta”, Poratta , Chicken 65 and Falooda. All were excellent and I just felt like I’m back in Kerala. Restaurant vibes were next to excellent and the service. I forgot to ask the two girls names who were on service. They all were pleasant and helpful and yes FIVE STAR SERVICE. Parking could be an issue but luckily we managed to get a pay and park nearby road (3 minutes walk to restaurant). We got a parking space on Elmwood Road, North with location ID on RingoApp 19625. It’s near to wellington road which is near to the restaurant. And if you drive from far please find enough time to reach Croydon as there are so much traffic.

Had done 4-5 times takeaways from here before... This is the first time I have actually visited the restaurant. Food has always been good and tasty... A little bit low on salt (which is actually good as you don't get your blood pressure high)... My favourite always has been Kappa (Tapioca/cassava) Biriyani but this time I tried Jackfruit & vegetable Dum Biriyani... It also came out nice but I would recommend ordering something with some gravy preferably some meat unless you are vegetarian. I rang and made a reservation but I think if it's not on a busy Friday or weekend you should be fine to get a table. Hope you'll enjoy your meal from there like I did mine...

Really delicious Indian. Appreciated the free tap water if you ask for it. Rice portion was big enough for two. Very nice atmosphere and service as well. Reasonable prices.

Best South Indian restaurant in the area. Highly recommended dishes are Chatti choru & Chatti porotta. But finding parking area is a difficult task in this area.

I booked a table for 10 people. we enjoyed every single bite of the starters with a couple of beers and special Chatti food for the main menu. Considering the quality, the price is ok but the lassi price is obviously a bit expensive. you should skip the starters if you are going to order the Chatti foods. Staffs were helpful and knowledgeable. the overall visit had a good experience.
