What people say, in short
22nd Parallel is a South Indian restaurant in Vadodara that many people recommend, often naming it alongside Cafe Bengaluru and Hotel Sudha as a go-to option. One diner singles out the kurma with malabari paratha, another suggests it with coconut kurma, and a commenter recommends the kotthu paratha. One commenter ranks it above other well-known south Indian spots they consider overhyped. The caveats: two commenters say quality has declined since it opened, though one of them speaks of the local scene generally rather than a direct visit; one diner found a limited meal just okay and lacking authentic south Indian flavour; one commenter flatly calls it the worst; and one says its sambhar is not as good as Canara Coffee House's.
