Five Fingers

A Truly Authentic South Indian Experience with Excellent Service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're craving authentic South Indian cuisine, this place is a gem. From the moment we walked in, the aroma of fresh spices and filter coffee set the tone for what turned out to be a delightful meal. The decor is simple but making it feel warm and welcoming. We tried the Panner tikka , some tandoori cooked chicken suggested by staff member— everything was fresh, flavorful, and true to its roots. Portions were generous, and presentation was clean and traditional. What really stood out was the service. The staff was attentive, polite, and knowledgeable about the menu. The girl who served us even explained the different chutneys and recommended a few lesser-known dishes we ended up loving. Food came out quickly, and the manager (Vimal) personally checked in to make sure we were enjoying our meal — a thoughtful touch. Whether you're South Indian or just a fan of the cuisine, this place respects tradition while delivering high-quality, flavorful food with a smile. Highly recommended for a satisfying and authentic experience.

Authentic South Indian food, really good and very friendly. Had a variety of dosas (eg rava, ghee roast, podi), uttapam, mango lassi etc. Fresh gulab jamun without excess sugar was delicious. Will definitely go again!

Incredible food! Great service and service staff. She had lots of amazing recommendations for us and checked in many times to see if we were enjoying everything. Will absolutely be back soon!!!

I was so excited to have dosa again, reliving my days living in South India and this place absolutely delivered. An amazing selection of dosa on offer, brilliantly sold by the lovely waiter, served authentically and so tasty. Highly recommended.

Very friendly manager. Explains well about their dishes. Authentic Southern Indian. Good portion size and price. Main dishes takes some time to get to table but you can tell it’s freshly made so don’t mind a little waiting time
