"Curd Rice was delicious, best of home cooking, very comforting, just perfect for a snack or late-night easy meal. Vadas were crispy and delicious, although undersalted. Puliyodharai was a huge disappointment, I did not enjoy it at all. It was very one-note with the sour tamarind masking every other flavor. Podi Dosa was, as always, crispy, thin, and delicious!"
"These 14 mini idlis were absolutely perfect for a South-Indian comfort meal. Soft, fluffy, and served steaming hot with a flavorful sambar and two chutneys — one coconut, one tomato. The sambar had just the right spice balance and depth; it didn’t feel oily or heavy at all.
As a vegetarian, this is the kind of dish that hits home — light, nourishing, and authentic. The mini-idli format makes it fun and easy to eat, and you can taste that the batter’s well-fermented and freshly steamed.
Verdict: Ideal for breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner when you crave something homely and satisfying."

"Loved Ulavacharu! The prices were very reasonable, the food superb. I'm not even a big chicken fan, but I'm ordering the konaseema chicken fry again. And how did they make the guttivankai gravy and saag paneer so good? The bread basket was enough to accompany 3-4 meals. If you don't like your food at least moderately hot, this is not your groove. If you like it Desi hot, I highly recommend."
"I have been a long-standing customer of Ulavacharu and a big fan of their Gongura chicken biryani and Guntur chicken biryani.
However recently they have started skimping on the chicken. The taste is still great but there is no chicken to eat.
I hope they read this review and improve on their chicken portion in the biryani."

"Komala Vilas is truly one of the best places for authentic South Indian food. Their soft whole wheat chapatis, ladoos, Mysore pak, everyday thali, and pillow soft idlis are just a few of my favorites. What I love most, though, is how comforting their food feels. On long, exhausting days, a meal from Komala Vilas feels a little like home and always helps ease the homesickness."
"If you’re craving a solid South Indian meal, Komala Vilas understood the assignment.
Their daily thali is lowkey elite. The portions? Insane. Like they did not hold back at all. You’re definitely not leaving hungry. Everything tastes fresh, comforting, and actually feels worth what you’re paying.
Honestly, for the price, it’s a steal. Easy go-to spot when you want a proper, filling meal without overthinking it."

"The Jain Tadka daal tasted just about right
It tasted fresh. Would order again
Roasted papad too expensive for just two papads.
Especially if you compare these to 10 rotis, which need to be processed so much !
Please rethink your prices on this item
$ 1.50 would be more appropriate for 2 roasted pappads
The plastic container gets really hot when it gets to the customer, which means the daal must be hotter at the source. I hope Chat Bhavan has considered the heat effects on the plastic used .
I pour the hot daal into a ceramic container as soon as I receive it, to avoid any further reaction of the heat on the plastic and on the daal.

"I was not expecting the irani chai to be of such high quality, I hope they maintain it."
"The Paneer 65 Roll was flavorful and hearty. Crispy paneer pieces coated in a mildly spicy sauce, wrapped with fresh onions and a soft paratha — perfect balance of crunch, spice, and creaminess. You get that street-food vibe but in a cleaner, more consistent package.
The Irani Chai was the star for me — rich, creamy, and slightly sweet with a subtle hint of cardamom. It complemented the spicy roll perfectly and added that nostalgic café-style finish."

"Star Chaat Cuisine is the place to go if you’re craving heavenly stuffed in Babhubali size Aloo Paratha with raita. I personally preferred the Aloo Paratha over the Paneer Paratha. I enjoyed the fresh, thick grated carrot boondi raita with it. I didn’t even bother with the pickle they gave me. To end my rich North Indian breakfast on a high note, I had some Ajwain Prantha with homemade chai."

"It's funny how these restaurants think it's ok to charge $20 for a couple of small pieces of Paneer.
Ordered the Paneer Tikka Lababdar and Veg Chili Mili. Extremely underwhelming basic onion and tomato gravies with the exact same taste where you can oonly taste the sourness of tomatoes.

"We used to order from Hyderabad very often. Recently, the prices have skyrocketed and the quality has gone way down. Shrimp Hakka Noodles had only 3 shrimp, but still costs $22. $11 for a single Garlic Naan is crazy. Also, prep times have gone way up. used to be very fast, great food, and good value.

"44. Chicken Karahi was a 2.5/5. It had a lot of oil just dripping out but most importantly lacked any rich flavor to go along with it.
Tandoori paneer was a 2/5. The paneer had very little flavor again.
The good thing was that the order was fast but that doesn't compensate for the taste.
I would recommend looking at similar dishes from Mantra India from Mountain view to see how you can improve both your dishes. They are my favorite."

"Ordered "flavored rice" at a higher cost but got regular rice. So that was disappointing. The flavored rice is a derivative of their Biriyani which is very good. Highly recommended - if they actually give it to you. This place makes good food so 5 stars. "
"This is my go to place for Hara Bara Kebab! Hands down best in the area. The Paneer Tikka is delicious as well. Cooked to the right consistency with perfect amount of marination.
I was a little disappointed with the green Chutney however. The curd was over fermented (possibly spoiled). I got a very strong whiff of pungent sour smell as soon as I opened the container. When I tasted it, it was definitely spoilt! The restaurant should give curd based cold items in a separate bag from warm items to avoid situations like this! "
