    Thattu idli and filter coffee are must try items... Coconut dhosa was good too.. masala uttapam was average.. although thalaiva is all time favourite..

    Authentic South Indian delicacies, served by polite and smiling staff members, visibility from external road has scope for improvement, no restrooms, parking common - can be a trouble at times to find a space to park car, lighting ambiance is nice with mild musics on, and air-conditioned space. Interior designs are well worked out and maintained.

    You can have the best authentic south indian food here. The menu is superb. Almost every menu item is good. You can surely enjoy this place for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner or evening for snacking. They serve 3 different chutneys with every dish. 1. Regular coconut chutney 2. Green coconut chutney with mint and curry leaves 3. Tomatoes chutney The combination was superb and delicious. Tomatoe chutney was outstanding. I have tried, 1. Fiter coffee 2. Thattu idali with Sambhar 3. Podi dosa 4. Idayppam with kadala curry

    Good authentic South Indian menu. Largely influenced by Keralait menu. Simple decor. Serving in traditional south indian way. Bit expensive. Parcel service available. E payments are acceptable.

    Was pleasantly surprised with the overall ambiance and clean environment in the restaurant. Texture of wall and interior is beautifully designed. The servers were friendly and made us feel at home in no time, they recommended their best dishes for the evening. The food came soon and was hot and fresh. Best authentic restaurant in Surat. Everyone Should Visit At Least Once for best South Indian taste.

    Being a South Indian, I can say that the food tasted nothing like South Indian. We ordered South Indian thali and Podi dosa. The food was very cold and look how Podi was in my dosa. I gave them back to add at least something like ghee or oil because it literally tasted like dosa with sand ( and looks like the same too). They made it again and gave me the same sand with dosa. It tasted nothing like podi. Waste of money.

    I just loved this place for its sheer authentic taste. The food was amazing. The sambhar had right amount of tamarind sourness, the coconut chutney was so fresh. The service was amazing. The ambience had a rustic feel of South Indian homes. The brass cutlery added to the persona of food. Will be visiting more often. Indeed Thalaivaa of South Indian food in Surat !!

    My family's related to Tamilnadu and I've been waiting to visit a new place where I can get south Indian authentic food. A friend suggested me this place and wow! Loved it. The most excited I was about the filter coffee and damn it lives upto my expectations! A must try... This time I visited with my friend but the next time I'll visit would be with my family... Great service and amazing food.

    Typical south Indian eatery in Surat. Options are limited. Costs are high. Staff is polite. But if you want similar options Banana patra (near Railway station) is better in my opinion. Numerous photos already there, so I won't repeat. Food is good. Quantity was a bit less

    I must say food was awesome .Taste is pure authentic . Chutney ,sambhar i don't remember if I have tested such South food other than this. Quality of food is also very good It might possible you need to be in queue as on Saturday/Sunday and holiday there might be rush due to less capacity. I have Enjoyed the food very much .I have attached the photo of Thattu idli

    Perfect place to taste south indian food in Surat.

  • 3/5 Mithil D. 1 year ago on Google
    Place is little, but ambiance is so good, and vibe is good. they sell South indian food in different ways, like waiter wearing lungi and speaking, mostly in their language. but the food is okay and the price is very high. you should not give 190rs for masala dhosa, which is already sold at 100rs by mysore cafe and simply madras. service is good. Green Chutney is so good. but you should try mysore cafe or madras cafe before going to here. we ordered podi dosa, which uper layer with gun powder and that we don't how to eat because stuffing is down on dish but okay taste and sambhar is good.

  • 5/5 Pramod B. 2 years ago on Google
    I visited 1 st time while my visit to surat for some work, at lunch time I visited along with my friend and we ordered their special Chettinaad idli and chettinàad dosa. Chettinaad is a kind of spice which put in idli or dos, same can be seen in pictures. I love the size of idli which they serve putting Chettinaad chutni (spice). Overall ambiance is very good, peaceful and kalm place. Service is good, food is also very good in quality and taste. I found it little costly

  • 4/5 Milan M. 2 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Tirzah V. 1 year ago on Google
    2 stars only for the ambience...if you only want to enjoy the ambience with over expensive and tasteless south indian food then you may go... But if you want to eat proper south indian food with authentic taste then this is so not the place... Amosr of the food was extra extra sour or tasteless... 350 rupees for the south indian thali is too much because there's no taste at all and it bland... Not proper south indian...it looks good but no taste you may check out the photos for the place... Don't see the meals and think it's gonna be tasty... I've just put the pics for you people to see, that's it... But Ambience is really really good... So if you want to enjoy the ambience then just go for filter coffee or chai...

  • 4/5 Mehul P. 1 year ago on Google
    Taste the authentic South Indian Food here. Not the taste of Regular Dosas here as served in Gujarat. All the sides and Chutney are fantastic. May be little crowded but Food is Good. Good staff and well hospitality for customers. Food is good, hygienic and well served. Though you should have some knowledge of South Indian Food to order here😊.

  • 4/5 Piyushkumar R. 10 months ago on Google
    Taste is good 👍🏽 Staff is also pleasant and served in lungi which is south indian signature wears But NO WASHROOM facility Too much options available for dosa wada idli and filtered coffee also But not surti taste means spicy and chatakedar we surties loved spicy taste Otherwise decorate food is also good and served in copper thali 20+ tables available for sitting Located on main road of parle point surat that is advantage

  • 3/5 Chitrang P. 4 months ago on Google
    The atmosphere was good. Looks like a traditional South Indian restaurant. But the food was not that good as compared to other South Indian restaurants. We have tried Chetinad Dhosa & Rava Masala Dhosa but not satisfied with the taste.

  • 5/5 Vicky M. 3 years ago on Google
    This place was a life saver, saved my date. Despite all the top places being booked to the fullest, this place was low key enough to avoid attention of too many people and also serve some of the amazing south indian food. This place won't disappoint you.

  • 5/5 Rosario D. 3 years ago on Google
    The restaurant is having two branches, The Parle Point branch service is good while Adajan Branch service is lousy. The food is great at both the places. The dosas are superb and very very delicious. The place is small at both the branches but clean and hygienic. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 SUNIL C. 3 years ago on Google
    It can be described in one line - place for Authentic South Indian items. Probably the only place in Surat where you get good quality Apam. The only problem after ordering Apam dish i. e. either with stew or any other accompaniment, you can't order EXTRA Apam. You have to order one more full dish of Apam. The young n energetic owner who is generally present at the restaurant may like to look into it.

  • 4/5 Shila C. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent joint in Surat for Authentic South Indian dishes. Probably the only place in Surat where you get Apam
