A South Indian chain with a strong following in Delhi, especially at its Connaught Place and Janpath branches. People single out the ghee roast dosa, idli, sambar sadam, mini tiffin and filter coffee, and several call it very authentic, though one notes that dishes have been adjusted for the Delhi palate. The caveats: some say quality has slipped, some call the food overrated, one finds the sambar too sweet, one calls it the worst Tamil food they've had, and the popular CP branch can have a queue.
