Dosa Special

Hello, My partner and I have wanted to visit this place for a long time and decided we will satisfy our cravings today. Firstly, the place in itself is not very attractive if that's what you are looking for. It is minimal with decor and sure has a huge scope for improvement. Second, the menu is very impressive and filled with mouth watering dishes . We couldn't try many on the menu but wanted to try a few given we were full after eating what we first ordered . We had ordered - Medu Vada, Idly Sambar, Rava Onion Dosa and Chicken Kutthu Porotta cost us £21.50 which was not very expensive. Vada , Idly and Sambar were very good. I can attest that this was better than the ones served in other well known South Indian Restaurant chains. We absolutely loved the taste of them. Onion Rava dosa was thick and wasn't very crispy in the middle and was thick instead which isn't to my liking but I do know some people who like it that way . I would have preferred red onions instead of white ones considering the strong taste that the former gives. My partner liked the Chicken Kutthu Parotta and the owner checked the spice level he wanted to make sure it would be to his liking . It was very flavourful and filling he said. We had a candid talk with the owner and he seemed to be very nice and warm. He did acknowledge that the place isn't the poshest looking of all but are willing to customize and improve the food's quality and taste for their guests. This is the best thing I found in him. I know for a fact that if I go in there again and mention , for example, that I like my Dosa crisp , he will be more than happy to deliver it to my expectation . After our talk , I had an impression that to them ( his wife who is the chef and himself) that what matters to them is keeping their customers happy by serving food they are craving to eat. I mean, is this not what everyone should be looking for rather than just focusing on profits ? I did understand they have a few regular guests coming to them and it looks like we are going to be one among them too. Thank you very much sir for the service and the warmth you provided. Hoping to visit again soon! Best, Bhavna.

This is a lovely little cafe selling authentic Sri Lankan and Indian food. I had the South Indian breakfast and my husband had the thali. It was just what we needed after a night out celebrating a friends birthday. I wish it was closer to us but we will definitely be back when in the area. Lovely people running the place too.
