They close at 7.30 pm. But they have mentioned the time as 8 pm. The lady said that 8 pm is their time to leave. Strange attitude

Decent dosa. The portion of sauces were small compared to the size of the dosa. Pricey for a dosa but did the job if you have a craving for one. White lentil base with masala potato filling and coconut and tamarind chutney and gunpowder

Had Dosa with yellow lentils, mixed vegetables and potatoes. Rating 3. Tamarind sauce was not good imho. It didn’t taste like tamarind.

First time having a dosa but it won't be the last! I had heard so many good things about this place and let me say the food was wonderful. I had the traditional Masala Dosa with the coconut and cilantro chutneys with a side Sambar. All were fresh and delicious and the dosa is expertly made in front of you. Also had a mango lassi with fresh ginger in it which was a welcome change and not too sweet. The ladies working there were super busy with the line but they took the time to explain the menu to me and were very sweet. Definitely heading back for several more visits!

The mango lassi here has ginger in it, which is a nice touch. It's like $6.60 which is a high price for the amount of lassie you get.
