You get fleeced for some good food in this hotel. I would think they have different menu cards with prices of the season and for off season. Very expensive and portionf sizes are small. But the food is good.

We wanted to go to Chandan restaurant, but it was closed at that time and so ended up eating here. The food is pathetic and the service is verly slow. Hubby had some chats and fell sick :-(. the next day's plans were ruined because of this. Avoid this at all cost!!!

If you are in the mood for good south Indian snacks, this is the place for you, especially if you have kids. The dosai varieties are great. They have the usual repertoire of south Indian snacks along with kid pleasers like pizza (which is really not good but keeps kids happy). The chaat was disappointing though.

The restaurant was good for Dosa which seems to be their specialty. but they will consume more time to serve, hotel location is good and price is affordable.

I've been to this restaurant many times over the past few years, it's a fantastic place. The atmosphere is nice, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the food is great (especially the dose's). Perfect for any meal.

The restaurant was good for Dosa which seems to be their speciality. We stopped for a quick bite for lunch and all had the dosa which was good. It is clean and the food is tasty.
