The place is very small but we were able to sit in the outdoor area which was really nice. The food was great and the service... was good. Also the food was presented in a nice way. The people near us were from India and they told us that different statesmake the Indian dishes in different ways, with California having a milder style and New York having the most authentic taste, intheir opinion.

One of the better dosas I have had in this country ... Madras coffee was ok and could have been better .. very good service ,... and fur babies are allowed in the outside patio for dining in . Love that .. would love to come back again Read more
A cafe setting with all the offering of a restaurant. The menu is great especially since it offers a bit of everything. The... staff is friendly, establishment is clean and food is good. The best dish during our visit was Goat Biryani & Spicy Chickencurry. Highly recommend a visit. Read more
2022 update : The food has gotten a notch better ! Good portions on the appetizers - the lamb pepper fry was a gem. The... blueberry garnish on Chicken 65 has disappeared to our great relief ! This new eatery looks to address the lack of South Indianfood options around Peninsula. I recently tried some of their dishes and they are doing a pretty decent job. The outdoor seatingarrangements are great, the order came out fast. Appetizers like Gobi Manchurian and Chicken 65 were done well. I was quitesurprised to see the garnish of blueberry on them (tbh unnecessary). Also tried the plain dosa and batura. Would recommend a bitmore generous serving of chutney with the dosa and do consider selling a combo of bhatura-chole instead of just the bread.Overall, a new place worth checking out if you want South Indian food, will revisit for sure.

Decent spot for South Indian food in Burlingame. Flavors are not overly spicy, fits perfect for those who cant handle spicy hot,... which most south indian cuisine can be. My friend & I enjoyed outdoor dinning, service was good. Dosas are good, loved the factthat their tandoori chicken didnt have red food coloring. Biryani & butter chicken was flavorful. Read more
Tasty Indian food. We went there for evening snacks and tried Veg Puff, Aloo Tikki Chaat, Paneer Sliders and Masala Chai. The... Veg puff just melts in your mouth and the stuffing os very tasty. Aloo Tikki Chaat was my favorite and has a twist ofblueberries in it. The Sliders look like Vada Pav except the Vada is replaced by Paneer Tikka. The Paneer is soft and cookedwell. The Masala Chai nicely complements the snacks and brought back memories of evenings in India. Read more
We were able to reserve the table via Google. The food was great. The service is quick. Has outdoor seating. The restaurant is... clean and well maintained. There are few unique dishes like dosa pizza etc. Chole batura was nice. Veggies biriyani is good aswell. It's little pricey, otherwise the food is good. Read more
