It's a bit pricey but quantity is large. Food is yummy, great ambience to sit n eat with family and friends. We tried butter chicken, chole bhature, kheema pav- everything was very well cooked and tasty

The restaurant offers a variety of different dishes. Meat dishes, vegetarian, vegan... I like the variety but my favorites are still the Dosa`s. Its a favorite so sometimes there is a wait. The service is not the greatest, but the food is good.

Saturday 12:50pm First time! If you're a frequenter of Indian buffets this is not the same although there are some menu items that will be familiar. I highly recommend that if you are unfamiliar, you look at the menu well ahead and do some research to differentiate the dozens and dozens of options on the dosas. There are 3 menus: alcohol, biryani, and dosas + everything else. After a lengthy deliberation and some outsourced text recommendations from friends we chose: Masala dosa pav bhaji butter chicken spicy We found the food to be highly enjoyable. Water refills were regularly offered during my visit.

Outstanding food, but not for the faint hearted. The food is authentic and very spicy. The menu is very long (20+ pages) and if you are not familiar with the cuisine, it's very confusing. The interior is plain, but clean. The service is friendly. The food is the star. Unlike other South Indian restaurants in Artesia, they have non vegetarian options and wine and beer. If you want to try a different kind of Indian food, then this is the place.

THE BEST MOST TASTIEST FOOD EVER. My favorite! Everything is fresh and delicious. Full of flavor and fresh spices. The customer service has VASTLY improved recently. The dosas and chutneys are great! The chicken 65 wet byrianni is awesome. The channa masala is wonderful. Chole bathura great for breakfast! Pav baji so yummy. Palak paneer is super fresh! There are so many great options. The raita is my favorite side. The Sambar soup a great addition to any dosa or even on its own! They even have Gobi 65 now which makes me so happy. If you enjoy spicy you will love the food! The updated menu includes descriptions of all the items. Highly recommend if you want the most flavorful and fresh Indian food around. Your tastebuds will thank you!

Great dosas and excellent service! The staff was very welcoming and friendly, which made the dining experience even better. The Mysore masala dosa was fantastic, with a perfect amount of flavorful masala, but the plain dosa stole the show for me. It was so crispy and crunchy that I enjoyed eating it on its own. I always get the masala (potatoes) on the side to keep the dosa from getting soggy, and it worked perfectly here. The variety of chutneys provided was amazing--my favorites were the spicy peanut, tomato, and sweet mango pickle. The sambar was also well-seasoned and delicious. My dad ordered the chicken curry, and he loved it--the chicken was tender, and the flavors were spot on. The only downside was that the dosas were a bit too oily for my liking. I asked for them to be made without ghee, but next time, I'll also request less oil, which the staff assured me is possible. The lassi was perfectly tart and sweet - paired well with spicy dishes.

I've had a few people recommend this spot to me and now I see why! We came at 12pm on Saturday and were seated immediately. It can get very crowded but we got there at the right time before the afternoon rush. The place was clean and the service was quick. The portions are very big, so we split the masala dosa and chicken biryani among 4 people and that was enough food. They give you sambar and a variety chutneys for the dosa and you can ask for refills which is great. It's definitely worth the price you pay since it is a little more than some other places, but the quantity makes up for it. We finished our meal with the falooda which was very big! More than enough for a group of 4 to split.
