Had an awesome South Indian meal in downtown Toronto. Service was great, and the food honestly felt like being back in Chennai. Don’t miss the appetizers, Chettinad Paneer, Podi Idli and Dosa. The sambar was next level - just like what you get in Tamil Nadu. Wrapped it up with masala chai, which was the perfect finish. Definitely going back. This place is pretty much my go-to now.
