    Service was bad. Not enough plates offered for a party of 12 . We had to wait for few minutes to get extra plates. We asked for the big room but we were told we can stay there for 1 hr only. No one was there until we left.

    Pros: Good South Indian food. Lots of varieties Cons: Food doesn’t come out all together, for a group of 4 we got one dish at a time and got an appetizer after we got our dessert and we’re still forced to take it. Its weird when dosa comes for one person and other three have to sit and stare 😂..

    Never seen service worse than A2B anywhere. Service is laughable and on top they literally kept asking if we are going to leave. Rude staff, expensive food, medium food quality and chaos.

    Food quality was very bad.. it didn’t taste good at all. We usually love sambar there, this time that was a flop. Choke batura, usually we love it, but this time we couldn’t even finish. I think they have to understand we are coming there not coz we can’t do a better job at home, it’s coz to get a free evening and if the food is good it brings back a lot of memories. They are definitely understaffed too in the restaurant area.

    Server has to be little relaxed and pay attention to individual table orders. He is always in a hurry, and messed up some orders. I have seen places busier than this and serving better.

    While the food is great, more training to the individuals taking orders will improve the experience. Order taking was painful and slow, to me it seemed was more due to the software used by the server.

    Excellent service. Food being brought out as prepared makes it a bit clumsy when main coarse and desert come out quicker than some of the appetizers. Staff is upfront and honest about it though . Thank you.

    Food was OK, but service was truly awful. Ordered via a QR code and app and food arrived totally out of order. Apps arrived 20 minutes after the entree showed. Server never came by to check on anything. The app insisted on closing out the tab and paying a tip before any food came out. What this place needs is an overhaul of how their front of house staff is organized, and an expediter in the back. Until then, avoid.

    South Indian food was good but the North Indian dishes we ordered left a lot to be desired. Service was subpar. We had three wait staff checking on us before we ordered but nobody showed up to check on us after we placed order. They have an order from app service at the table but the wait staff was really eager to take direct order. Once we placed the order, our dishes were delivered to the table by a desk cleaning staff with missing condiments and eating utensils. Getting any attention from the wait staff was challenging.

    Over priced. They struggle to give you extra sambhar or chutney. I waited 10 minutes and made 3 different requests before I received a dwarf sized bowl of chutney. My dosa was cold and limp by then.

    Overall experience was great as we always do. The only exception is that there was a price difference of $1 per item of what we saw in the menu versus what we were charged. We were not informed ahead of this change.

    There was one person taking orders for the entire restaurant. We were a group of 12. Our orders were brought whenever they were ready. However, there were no visits from the server to check which orders were missed. Got one water refill at the end of 1.5 hours. We had to go get our own forks, napkins etc because no one showed up. Once they came to ask for check, we told them of the missing orders and instead of cancelling them, the waiter went searching for them in the kitchen and told us we had to take them because the kitchen has prepared them - cold food that we had to box up after we had to ask for boxes 3 times. There was automatic 18% gratuity for a group this size and so there was no need for them to show good service. We paid without complaints but perhaps we should made a fuss about it. I have told by others that they too have had bad experience. Good authentic food but bad service. Don’t go in large groups. Don’t go for special occasions.

    Some items are not kid ready or cannot be made less spicy for kids. Had to wait for a long time (20 mins) for an item (chat) and when it arrived, it was way too spicy. Other items were good (idly, thali, puri). Just be cautious when you go with kids.

    This was our 5th time or so visiting and never been disappointed before but this was in simple terms pathetic. Food was average, service was horrendous. The waiters have become extremely rude when you ask questions and some of them don’t even see you eye to eye. It was a crowded Saturday evening and looks like they got overwhelmed. An example, rava dosai took 35 minutes to arrive and was told that was the normal. After waiting had to cancel the last item as we did not have a choice and had to head home for 100 miles. I hope they get better for their name sake and continue to provide quality and treat customers as valuable. Thanks for listening.
