It was a great luxury fine dining experience, their signature Thali was good in taste too. However, they can plan the meal better. Since they bring out everything on the plate in one go, it becomes so cold & inedible. They can perhaps train the staff to bring the food course by course upon request so it can be hot & fresh to consume. The newer staff can be a bit more cordial too.

Authentic south indian food. Calm and relaxing ambience. Live music by musicians rendering famous tamil songs. Many foreigners visit this place for south indian food due to less crowd and relaxing atmosphere. They change menus quite often. Seen kadainrha keerai first time among the many restaurants we have been to. Desert were absolute clasic. Payasam was very original and tasty. Mukkani ice cream (3 fruits mango, banana, jack fruit) was a never before ice cream flavour and extremely good too.

Amazing service, very good food for a foreigner, even tho a bit spicy. I ordered Veg Thali and it was very big, as you can repeat dishes. Nice variety to be able to try different dishes. The decoration is beautiful too!

I’ve been wanting to try this place ever since they moved from Crowne Plaza. I went for a Sunday lunch thali. The entrance is stunning, and the ambiance is beautiful, keeping the fully rooted South Indian heritage with a modern aesthetic. The service here is top-notch, better than almost anywhere else I’ve been. However, my experience was let down by the food. It was extremely average, even Sangeetha, Geetham, and Bhavyam serve better-tasting food. I recently visited Visesham before this place, and that set a high bar for me. The food was served cold many times, and I had to ask them to replace it several times to get it hot. The only thing that stood out on the menu was the banana dosa and the mix fruit ice cream (mango, banana, and custard apple, if I’m not mistaken). I would suggest Visesham and Avartana for an elevated dining experience in South Indian cuisine.

We went on a Tuesday evening. It wasn't busy so we had a quiet dinner. This eve there was no live music but that was fine, they had other music playing. The service is really friendly, and the portion sizes are massive. The food is delicious, I really enjoyed the crab soup 😍 and the prawns as starter. Unfortunately the main was so much, we couldn't finish. You can even get extra serving so make sure to come with an appetite. We tried the fish and non-veg thali, and it was really good to get a taste of the delicious food they prepare. The filter coffee ☕️ was also good. Had a lovely evening, thanks!

We went for lunch today and were greeted warmly and escorted to our pre booked table immediately. The food was excellent right from the banana dosa, soup, starters, main course to the desserts. And rounded off with their signature filter coffee. Ajay took care of us extremely well and explained about the various dishes as they were being served.
