Chhota Banaras, Sector 17

What people say, in short
The Sector 17 Chhota Banaras represents recommendations for both Sector 17 and Sector 32. Commenters often name it for South Indian food, but two qualify that praise by saying it is not a strictly traditional South Indian choice. One Sector 17 recommendation singles out podi idli, while another likes the dosas and mentions uttapam, vada and idli. A returning diner also names it among their choices for South Indian vegetarian dishes; that describes a food preference, not a dietary guarantee for the premises.
