What should I order the first time?

Here's what guests from around the area often come back for:

  • Masala dosa: a crispy rice-and-lentil crepe filled with spiced potato. Every dosa comes with coconut chutney, tomato chutney and 8oz of sambar. New to dosa? Read what is a dosa?
  • Mysore masala dosa: the same idea with a spicy red chutney inside, for people who like heat.
  • Pani puri: crisp hollow puris you fill with spiced water and eat in one bite. Here's how to eat pani puri.
  • Idli and medhu vada: soft steamed rice cakes and crispy lentil fritters, great with sambar.
  • Chole bhature: spiced chickpea curry with big puffy fried bread. See what is chole bhature?
  • Punjabi thali: a platter with a little of everything, good when you can't decide.

Add a mango lassi or masala chai and you're set. Guests often tell us our dosas and pani puri taste like home cooking, and that the portions are good value.
