I love the ambience. Generally serving is good. But need to reduce waiting time. And not suitable in rainy season. Thatched roof to be renovated immediately to face the monsoon.

Expect good taste in a typical old style bench served tea & breakfast joint setting. Open from 6-12 & 4-10, with dosa & oothappam available all through the day while idli, vada & pongal are available in the mornings.
