What people say, in short
Curry Leaf attracts both strong support and substantial dissent for its South Indian food. City-wide recommendations share the Hazratganj pin; some diners specifically name this outlet, praising the food or the thick chutney. Across the broader pool, diners single out idli and masala dosa, but others find the flavours bland or too North Indian. Several also question the value. It is a divisive choice rather than an uncontested authenticity pick.
