We went to this place for dinner last night. Being a Saturday night, we made a prior reservation for our party of 6 people, but it seemed unnecessary at 8.30 pm as the place was not too packed. Seems like the late night eating out culture of the city permeates this Thali joint as well.
As soon as we reached the place, the valet took my car away for parking. Once we entered the place, they handed out roses to the ladies. A nice touch, I think.
The place serves thalis only. The menu is pre-decided and all you are required to do is enjoy the food. The menu was non-committal to a particular cuisine, as we were served miniature Uttapams and spinach soup as appetizers. The main course had Aam Ras, Yellow Dal, Spinach subzi, Dahi Bhalle, Raw Chana salad, Gujarati Kadhi, Vatana (white peas), Papad, Khichdi, Chaas, Jalebi, Kulfi, etc etc. Basically the Thali was loaded with food. Everything tasted good and was not too spicy. So you can go there with kids. The only negative was that the mini parathas were made with refined flour (Maida), instead of the wheat flour. But everything else made up for this negative.
The service was very good, un-rushed and the servers friendly. The ambiance was pleasant and the noise level was under control as well.
I think, I've found my family friendly dinner place in this town. A must visit.
