This was a great find and a bit of a hidden gem for vegetarians in Little India! The food was amazing, so fresh and flavoursome and the paneer butter masala was one of the best curries we've ever had! The owner was really friendly too...and had a good chat with us. Definitely recommend seeking out this restaurant for an authentic Indian meal!More

I recommend this restaurant for healthy Indian food. Everything was very good, not heavy, and prepared by a very courteous staff. They went out of our way when we could not find a taxi, We will certainly return when we are next in Singapore.

Maybe the fare's better at night or on weekends? We dropped by for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and they only had set lunches available. $20 for small portions of very diluted, flavorless curries. Medu vadas were ridiculously small, more the size of my wedding...ring. This is not what I expect from South Indian cuisine. Maybe I just went on a bad day, but both me and my partner left disappointed :/More

Wonderful veggie Indian cafe/restaurant in Little India. Was eating alone and made to feel very welcome by the owners. The food was excellent and I can’t recommend highly enough. Superb!

We found this unassuming restaurant and oh my, we were not disappointed. We both had the Thali and it comprised a lovely mixture of tasty flavours. A value for money experience and we will definitely be back.

Authentic and just like home cooked South Indian food. Ingredients are fresh and food is also prepared fresh. Has a homely feel to it. Would be back.

I started to order as well as visit this place since 2020 only. Meals were as good as we prepare at home. I love their soups, all kinds of keerai's and herbs! Simple and good for the stomach. The menu spread and options is lovely...and how they have given a bit of context to each dish for non native south Indian food connoisseur. I have tried sapadu, adai, chapathi meal, fried rice, machurian, soups, sweets - millet laddoos, beetroot halwa, some other halwas, tea, coffee, sukku coffee..all were decent. Wish with Adai, they had avial defacto in the menu. Dosas were good. South Indian dishes beats any north Indian dishes at this place, perhaps has been our experience. Thali's/ meal/ sapadu my personal fav for lunch I dont see too many, if not any one else who does adai in Singapore. Need to still explore further, might find another hidden gem when time permits. Few improvement areas- - Most of the menus - physical ones in the restaurant call for perhaps a new reprint - The gentleman owner, never prints a receipt/ bill of what you ate and ordered. This is something I have observed time and again. Perhaps one need to ask for it, but may be I did not... - Restaurant Hygiene could improve, but at price points at which they feed Singapore - worth every dollar you spend on their spread! - Staff - young boys, friendly and prompt. At peak times when they do open in between lockdowns, they do tend to get overwhelmed when customer footfall is higher in evenings or during lunch - Not consistent in their delivery policies: sometimes they deliver like during CB/ lockdowns, but when they open - at times, the gentleman just wants us to do take aways as he is a one man show running a busy place. He is lovely and very nice nice guy - someone who was in corporate world and then got in to this business, if I recall vaguely from one of my conversations with him.More

The food is very good, but the service is extremely slow. The servers basically ignore the customers. We were seated outside and served hot water. There are people outside smoking. Overall not a pleasant experience.

My husband and I had the best vegetarian Indian lunch here today. All the dishes we ordered were stellar! The banana flower cake was divine ; we can taste the fresh herbs and good quality ingredients that went into this lovingly deep fried dish. Best...part? They weren’t even the slightest bit oily. My chapatti was fluffy and light. The poori were so delicious and doesn’t taste of stale oil. The mushroom peppery stir fry was surprisingly delicious and bursting w flavour; I can taste the ginger bay leaves and basil that went into this beautiful dish. And we use our breads to mop up every single morsel in our tomato based paneer. We both agreed the cheese is so fresh, and the best tasting we have ever tried. Our milk ginger tea came w brown sugar; they are so fragrant. The sweet lassi also deserves special mention; it’s light , slightly sweet and so fresh. All in all, a most sumptuous yet healthy meal. The friendly owner and his lovely wife are so pleasant. We will be back for more!!More
