What People Say

"The food are outstanding (really traditional and flavourful) especially if you like the heat of curries so good!"

Reviewers consistently praise the traditional and flavourful food, particularly the Chicken 65 and curries, while some express disappointment with specific dishes.

"Just beside Satya restaurant is an alleyway which takes you out back to a more street vibe in esthetics and food ( southern Indian)...soooo good. If you dont mind sitting on beer crates and want a different experience in eating this is the place for you...i will be back definitely 💛"
