Went here few weeks ago and very clearly remember the taste of the food I ate. The reason - this is perhaps the first "Indian" restaurant in city which serves food that actually tastes like home cooked Indian food. I don't know what they add to their cooking but be it the dal or the dosa, or even the buttermilk, I was reminded of authentic Indian food.
The owner of the place is a simple man walking around the place in his traditional Southern Indian outfit and cheerfully greeting all customers, often taking time out to actually sit and chat with them, lovely man he is.
The restaurant serves only authentic vegetarian food, and therefore this journey is truly divine. I would love to keep going back, the only thing that keeps me away is the prices, which are slightly on the higher side. But how can I expect low prices for the exceptionally authentic food they serve anyway? 😉
Nice place to hv pure veg south-indian cuisine in real cheap price.. Visited today fr lunch (20.09.2015)
There were around 12 items.. N most of them we liked.
Only there was a bit lack of hospitality, we felt.
Having read the reviews we were sceptical to say the least, but this indian was round the corner from our hotel, offered vegan food and claimed 'authentic indian' so we were interested to try.
We weren't disappointed, the staff were friendly and wanted us to sit in and experience the food, but we were set on a take out. All the meals are freshly prepared. The food was delicious, we got a potato korma each and it used coconut milk, it was yummy, we also had the vegetable biriyani, which for us was a bit hot (but we can't handle any hot food!!) - couple this with an onion baji each and it was all round a wonderful meal. It makes it very clear that it is all vegetarian, the staff are on hand to discuss vegan options (but I wish it was a little clearer on the menu) - overall great experience.
Very nice authentic Indian food, would recommend and will probably be back for another meal soon! Good value for money as well
Having lived in India for nearly two years. I can say this place has “high quality, authentic Indian food” majority of India is vegetarian. So other Indian restaurants I have been in Hampshire are far off to traditional tasty veggie food. The food here is delicious as if you were in south India itself!
Very tasty Indian restaurant in Southampton
Honestly the best Indian I've ever had. The food was authentic and you could tell the ingredients were fresh.
The staff seemed to love working there.
Don't be put off that they are a vegetarian restaurant, I'm an avid carnivore and didn't miss meat at all.
Would definitely recommend.
My wife and i stopped in for lunch, and were warmly greeted by the waitress/owner/manager? We enjoyed a lovely vegetarian buffet, and didn't miss meat one bit. Highly recommend it for authentic Indian food, it's not the normal anglicised stuff you get in most Indian restaurants. We will be back!
Very grateful that coriander lounge was fully booked otherwise would have never of found this place! I didn't get the impression that my meat eating friend was overly enthusiastic about going to a veggie Indian but was completely over ruled considering the amount of harvesters and steak houses and nandos I have to put up with and the same two boring meal options. In the end she loved it and we both agreed the Best indian we've had and the most different. We found the service really good as well, didn't pay attention to the waiters hair but am assuming we weren't waited on by this ponytail guy other reviewers are complaining about.
Warmly greeted as I walked in. I was served quickly and given good honest advice. The food was great and I definitely recommend. I am having a hard time believing all these bad reviews. I feel like they are biased in some fashion. I do feel like the decor could be improved but other than that I am glad I went.
Wonderful South Indian cuisine served by a wonderful friendly team. Lovely big open kitchen where you can see your delights being prepared. Who needs meat when you got all of these lovely dishes.

Impromptu visit as we passed this little place and we were impressed with the ambiance and the attentiveness of the staff.
The gent who I assume to be the manager/owner seemed truly passionate about his restaurant and proud of the produce of his kitchen.
I also didn't realise its vegetarian only until at the table but was eager to try it.
We were very impressed with the clean and open kitchen, seeing all the food being prepped and cooked fresh.
All in all a lovely meal with authentic (my partner spent time in India) fresh food.
We loved it and will defo go back to try different dishes when in the locality.
The only criticism I have (honest feedback for the owner) is that the great food cooled down very quickly and it would be much better if there were plate warmers or similar to keep it hot.
Lovely place though ;)
