Downstairs is without AC but there is upstairs which is with AC and proper seating. For all the times I went there, no one told me there was an upstairs with proper ambiance.
4⭐️Mulligatawny Soup – 450/-
This soup offered a delightful lentil creaminess, infused with a subtle hint of Asian spices that lingered pleasantly on the palate. However, the addition of cooked rice, reminiscent of a kanda, was an unexpected twist.
3.5⭐️Paper Dosa – 420/-
The dosa was perfectly crispy, accompanied by two types of chutney with a semi runny sambar, Although both chutneys could have used a bit more salt, they were still enjoyable and worth the price!
FUN FACT 👩💻
What is the origin of dosa?
However, according to historian P. Thankappan Nair, dosa originated in the town of Udupi in present-day Karnataka. Achaya states that the earliest written mention of dosa appears in the 8th-century literature of present-day Tamil Nadu, while the earliest mention of dosa in Kannada literature appears a century later.
4🌟Mushroom Paper Dosa – LKR 800
I requested the Mushroom Paper Dosa without ghee, and it was still delightfully crisp. The filling consisted of sautéed mushrooms, but the presence of onions and bell peppers was more pronounced, with black pepper adding a subtle heat. A traditional Paper Dosa is known for its thin, crispy texture, and this version lived up to that expectation. The filling, while flavorful, could benefit from a more generous portion of mushrooms to balance the other ingredients.
3.5🌟Paneer Butter Masala – LKR 1,050
Unlike the typically sweet versions, this rendition of Paneer Butter Masala had a balanced flavor profile that I appreciated. However, the scarcity of paneer pieces was disappointing, as they are essential to the dish's appeal. Paneer Butter Masala is renowned for its rich, creamy tomato-based gravy complemented by tender paneer cubes. The absence of sufficient paneer detracted from the overall experience.
3.5 🌟Butter Naan – LKR 325
The Butter Naan was standard fare, serving as a suitable accompaniment to the curry. While it was soft and buttery, it didn't stand out in any particular way.
