What people say, in short
A South Indian spot in Lodhi Colony's Khanna Market that people often name for dosas. One commenter calls it their favourite restaurant and praises the ghee podi idli and dosa; another highlights the crispy dosa, sambar and filter coffee and says it's good value. It's described as a simple local eatery rather than a full restaurant, and one jokes that it gets crowded after 10am.
