    Great ambiance, spacious, very well maintained and an amazing place to dine! The ambiance is 100% ethnic and the food served is 100% organic and aesthetics written all over the venue. The restaurant also has a mini hall and a store that sells Isha Foundation's merchandise.

    Loved coming here for a peaceful Sunday morning south Indian pure veg breakfast! The place is tucked away in a corner and you might miss it if not for Google maps navigation. Great place for car parking. Ambience is fantastic for both family or quiet romantic setting for couples. late Breakfast is definitely a no crowd time. Menu is a simple South Indian affair. Idly, Dosa and pongal only. Don't expect a grand menu for breakfast. It is more elaborate for lunch or dinner. Enjoyed the meal and overall experience

    The place is well decorated. Love the ambience and the vibes of the place. Food here, though restricted to South Indian varieties only is exceptionally good in taste. The staff are friendly, but the service is very very slow, an issue of understaffing. On a busy weekend night, if you are extremely hungry, go elsewhere. Otherwise the place is a dream to dine at.

    Had heard a lot of good things about this place but I had a disappointing experience. This Almond Parakasa was grainy and tasteless. It had a burnt after taste. Had some Vadas and rottis and they were very ordinary. Spicy hot chocolate was good. Can't really mess that up. We didn't stay for dessert.

    Very Lively place, quiet and peaceful. Has two big halls for yoga. The store is huge, it has all the Isha products from books to clothing to decorative items. Best place to get Isha products. Really helpful staff. All the information you need about the Isha programs, upcoming events can be found here. You can get your doubts clarified as well. They have an attached restaurant too. Yoga Food and Shopping !

    The menu options stood out of the norms and every dish Said they are healthy and tasty. The restaurant offers very good service and the staffs are quite knowledgeable. Few dishes from our order which are of must tries! - Akki rotting, Godhumai Pulav, methi Pulav, carrot halwa, Pan ice cream. Vazhaipoo cutlet tasted exactly like Ambode from Karnataka.

    While the food was amazing, the sit-down buffet service was terrible. Portions served very very little with long gaps between each course. We spent most of the time asking for the next dish while seeing our hands go dry with what we eat in the previous course. Came to know that the service was done mostly done by volunteers which is appreciated but Mahamudra would do well to look seriously into the service quality issue.

    Best ever south Indian food I've ever had at this price point! Simply awesome.. Great service, superb taste,cozy place and good ambience, a lot to choose from the menu. hen you enter it, you are treated with a nice upscale environment. Seats are limited, hence advanced booking is always recommend. Their service was really good. Food was awesome. Really delicious but it's a small restaurant and we had to wait 40 min to get the table.

    Love the serene and peaceful ambience! The food is satvik and very delicious. A beautiful cozy place for friends and families to spend quality time. I only wish the staff with whom we placed the food order were a little more friendly and smiling.....it just gives the customers a more welcoming feeling and it will a huge add on to the lovely ambience Isha life has created.
