Your experience for the food can range between a. 1 and a 4, depending on what you order. I suggest you stick to the usual popular grub: dosa, idli, Wada.
We went in a group of 8 and the restaurant was able to accommodate us as a group. One chair was additionally placed at the head of the table and that placement was slightly congested, and people had to squeeze into the couch, making it uncomfortable to eat.
The place was full and the noise decibels are high, but this is normal in a South Indian fast food place. The decor is trendy and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. He layout is congested but I won't complain as more people can sit and dine at the same time due to this reason.
The dosas were well done, the gongura is worth trying if you like sour, and the flavour was appreciated by two Telugu friends, so this is now vetted and worth trying. The Mysore masala was good too. The Idli Bath is another delicious item on the menu, the mix of sambar and rasam is tangy, slightly spicy, and a must try. The poori bhaji - poori was crispy and tastes good, the aloo subji is passable and I've had better at other locations in the GTA. Madras coffee is great, I had two just because! I didn't eat the falooda but others who did, liked it.
The avoidable items on the menu are Upma and Kesari, these were dry and low on taste, felt like a total waste of money.
The service is good and fast, servers are polite and well mannered. They should speak louder though, the place is noisy and it becomes difficult to understand what they are speaking.
They have underground parking which is free for guests, make sure you inform the receptionist and register your vehicle number.
Overall a good experience with a few misses. Important misses though.
