The staff Hassan is a very nice decent guy. Friendly and helpful. Good for late night eats. The toilet however is not that good. At night, you have to go to the back (outdoor) of the shop, when the indoor toilet is not allowed. Really, tho?

We ordered a 70-pax vegetarian lunch meal for our Navarathiri Annadhanam, and the food was absolutely delicious! All our temple devotees kept asking which catering we chose, everyone truly enjoyed the meal. The delivery was perfectly on time, and we even received complimentary papadom and injipuli. The price is very reasonable, and we’ve been ordering from them for many years now. Highly recommended!
