What diners say
Regulars who have eaten here since childhood still come for the medu vada and idli, and the prices are the other thing reviewers keep mentioning. Newer dishes like the kurkure kebab get good notices too. The complaints are about consistency: weekend rushes, a few flat curries, and a small ground floor where only a handful of people fit.

- Medu vada sambar
