I would say that I'm a frequent customer of Komala's mainly because it's a place for quick hot south Indian food. There are no surpises as far as the idlis, sambar, dosas, vadas, pongal, uthapam and other rice items go, but the biggest surprise is the hugely disappointing coffee. This is not the filter coffee I would expect at a south Indian restaurant. I would prefer the south Indian food at Matunga's Ramashreya or Mani's to Komalas, any day or time of the week. That being said, I like the casual pace of Komalas where you're not expected to dine and dash and it's CLEAN.
