"Next, we ordered the Barawni Biraci, which we also shared and ended up taking some home for dinner. We paired it with chicken, and the presentation was stunning. We opted for medium spice, which was just right given our backgrounds of growing up without much seasoning. It struck a wonderful balance of flavors with just enough spice to delight the palate.
I learned from our waiter that the restaurant's name refers to Southern Indian cuisine, a particular style of cooking that features beautiful ingredients served over long-grain white rice. After tasting this, I definitely want to visit that region of India! If you’re not fortunate enough to come from Southern India and have a collection of those traditional recipes, this is the perfect way to treat your taste buds to a culinary vacation.
We popped in for an impromptu lunch around 12:30 PM and had a fantastic time! We’ve been here before and loved it then, too—it's perfect for a great date night. Our total bill was $40, which covered two entrees, a delicious mango shake, and leftovers.
Here’s a pro tip: If you’re heading to a friend’s place up north for the weekend, consider stopping here a day or so in advance. You can grab some entrees to freeze for your trip. Your hostess will appreciate the taste of Southern Indian cuisine (think Hyderabad) that you bring to the table up north (I love you, Finns), where people would truly enjoy the elegant spices and perfectly balanced dishes.
The service here was attentive, professional, and elegant. You will absolutely love this place. Although it’s located in a small strip mall, it’s perfect for a romantic date night, as they serve liquor in addition to lunch. Enjoy your visit!"
