Pleased with the foodin general , my Wife being from Inida and her Mother from South India we were really looking forward to it. Restaurant itself nice ambience and very fast service. We had the Vada followed by a Masala Dosa, the vada to be honest were a bit solid and "doughy" but OK and the Sambar tasted just like my wifes although we did expect more indian vegetables like yard long beans, bhindi (okra) in it. Spices perfect, I jokingly accused them of stealing her recipe! The Dosa was lovely particularly enjoyed the coconut chutney. It was after leaving and driving home that we began discussing the overall evening and came to the following conclusions...good but Vada need attention and on reflection quite overpriced for what it is, We know how cheap it is to make those dishes and £18.30 each for 4 rather small and hard Vada and a Masala Dosa is frankly way, way over the top. That and £4.65 for a 330ml beer??? On top of that a 10% service charge I paid £50.27 for what were 2 street food snacks each and a small beer each. We were very enthusiastic at firstbecause we had not eaten Keralan food out in a long time but we are going to try other places to look for better Value, living in Worsley we are not far from Bolton so going to try one there next.
