What people say, in short
Kovallam is a frequently recommended South Indian restaurant in Ahmedabad, named among the city's better South Indian options, with two commenters pointing to its dosa. One diner who compared it with a rival found it tastier but pricey, and another praises the coconut water. The caveats: one diner found the food too bland and overpriced, one who grew up on South Indian food disliked it despite the pretty ambience, and another says the food is good but not authentic, with a mostly generic menu. It also came last in one commenter's comparison of South Indian spots.
