Ambience as good as taste 2011-05-24
A bright green banana leaf and a Kathakali mask on at the signboard, reminiscent of the bright, solid colours of homes and restaurants in Kerala, an arch of banana plantains at the entrance, liveried waiters, Cafe Mondegar-like black and white murals depicting scenes from R.K Narayan's Malgudi, liveried waiters, the smell of pot pourri hanging in the air, a big idol of Tirupati Balaji at the door, pleasant and soothing music, bronze lamps and woodwork decor - the moment I stepped in here I knew I had going to like this place.
An assorted idli platter is available with about 6-7 types of idlis. Rasam is served in double walled bowls. The Jeera Millagu rasam is spicy while the tomato rasam has toned down flavours. There is good old South Indian coffee to wash it all down with. I was a little put off to see some bastardised dishes on the menu (Pav Bhaji Dosa?).
The downside: The service is slow and boorish. I went at opening time once and wasn't served for about an hour. It is expensive, perhaps because of its 'authentic' tag. -
