What They Say

Best South Indian food in town!! HIGHLY recommended!! Imagine 5 women with a million questions about the menu, but the staff was SO friendly and treated us like queens! The food was fingerlickingly amazing - spicy, saucy, crispy, and plentiful! The chef came to our table to explain what is vegan and what is not! Plus, it’s the only place in SD (to my knowledge) that doesn’t add wheat flour to their dosas, keeping them gluten-free! The massive 6ft dosa didn’t stand a chance, devoured within minutes! I ended up ordering more to take home for my husband (lucky him). We’ll definitely come back soon!!

Very demure, very mindful, very flavorful. Buffet of Chana Masala, Tandoori Chicken, Paneer, Sambar, Ildi, Naan, Mango Chutney, Rava Kesari, juice, chai, salad, and more. Every item prepared with love. Please keep the chefs and staff! Wow. From the first spiced bite to the tender denoument of sweet rava dessert, the combination of spices and complimentary nature of the dishes enlivened the senses and left me satisfied. Thanks!

Love this place! My husband and I came for dosa night a few weeks back and I’m hooked now! I love how the dosas come to you all fresh and crispy, and there are so many options to choose from. Plus, the dosas are a small enough size that you can try multiple different ones. I’m especially hooked on their Mysore chutney….their Mysore cheese dosa is probably my #1 pregnancy craving at the moment 😂 Also, their mint lemonade at the chutney table is amazing!
