Saw the place listed on Uber and decided to visit personally since we wanted to try the dosas and what better way to enjoy dosas than in person!We tried the Sambhar Mini Idly and Medu Vada as the starters. The idly was delicious and worth the price. The Medu vada, although tasted good, seemed a tad bit undercooked on the inside. It did seem freshly prepared but the slight wet doughy insides dampened the overall taste.The Andhra Kara Masala Dosa is especially spicy (which the server did warn us about) but didn't seem very tasty.The Chettinadu Chicken Dosa was also underwhelming as the taste of the chicken wasn't close to the Chettinadu style chicken and seemed too bland.Will update the rating if we try the place again and have a better experience with the food. The service was prompt and the servers were knowledgable about the different dishes and they were courteous.In terms of the parking space, the place is in downtown and the parking can be hard to find based on the time of day you visit. There also seems to be additional parking available, you can call the restaurant to find the space and park there.

The best Indian food I have ever tasted. This was truly authentic South Indian cuisine, the chicken was dripping with flavour and the dishes were filled with traditional spices. Unlike any Indian restaurant I have ever been to. The owner, Vikram, greeted us like family and was an incredibly gracious host. 10/10 experience…. please open up a restaurant in Toronto!!!

This place offers the main dishes of south indian cuisine. Although the menu items are limited, I would say their egg kothu parotta and Chicken dum biriyani are a must-try.If you love dosa, this is the place to taste them as they offer different varieties of dosa such as ghee/ onion/ rava/ masala dosa etc. that tastes almost the same like we used to have in our hometown. The difference types of chutneys and Chicken 65 and fish fry are also delicious.Mango lassi makes a good dessert after the tummy-filled awesome dinner.

Delicious dosas with a huge variety right in downtown kitchener.She place is nice and spacious, and rhe food and service were excellent.I tried the chicken dosa which was a surprising dish and it was amazing. The myspre and ghee dosas were relay done well.The sambar seemed like it was sweeter then others but overall great.We had the medu vara and idlis.. fantastic. Vadas were crispy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. Perfectly made. Can't wait to go back!

Everything was so so good. Met the owner: he was awesome and super friendly. He helped us with our food choices and encouraged us to get the dessert (which was a warm pineapple flavoured dish that we devoured… not overly sweet, so it was perfect). I didn’t recognize a lot of the items on the menu, so the guidance was very much appreciated!My favourite dish was probably the parotta because I loved the texture and how the dish was a little on the spicier side. But everything was great!Super happy that this place is in Kitchener. We will be back!

Good food and good service.1 star less because their wadas are quite dense in texture.If you love spicy food, you must try Their Andra kara dosa, super spicy!!Their portion size is great! Their rava kessari is a must try!!

Excellent food and service. Medu vadai which was like Indian donuts. Fabulous. I had set parotta and was delish! Chicken birayani was amazing with surprise buried chicken that was phenomenal. Hubby had mutton birayani because he loves spice and it was super spicy just like he wanted. Overall amazing food and experience.

Came across this new place in KW area that serves South Indian food so wanted to give it a try. The staff is really very welcoming and will strike a conversation with you regarding the food & service and will ensure everything is being taken care of.The food tasted good. Was there during dinner time and tried their Medu Vadai, Coin Idli, Andhra Kara Masala Dosa & Chettinad Chicken Dosa.I want to specifically call out that their Medu Vada was fresh and crispy unlike other places who make their medu vada early in the morning that get soggy by evening.I wasn't very impressed with the flavors of Chettinad Chicken Dosa because the Chicken didn't really taste like Chettinad. Other than that, everything else we tried was pretty good.There is quite a lot of street parking available around the area. There also seems to be a parking lot but I think you need to call the restaurant to get in there.Will likely go back to the place; not for the Chicken Dosa though.

This place is a real treat! I never tried dosas before and after reading their reviews thought it would be a good place to try them... I was right! Very high quality food. I was impressed to hear they clarify their own butter and use fresh curry leaves rather than dry. The flavour was dynamic and delicious!! I had the butter garlic masala dosa and she talked me into the rava kessari dessert... No regrets! Highly recommend!!
