A new restaurant that just thisbpst Friday. Menu: a very simple menu. Unlimited thali with 3 options - (a) Veg - $12, (b) Non-veg - $14, and (c) Non-veg with sea food - $18. We opted for one b and one c. Our two kids weee really small and hence were at no charge. Price: its not value for money. But I felt the price was apt for what we ate. Its not everyday that you get customized and UNLIMITED menu of items. We had fish kebab 2 or 3 times. Food: Thali is not the traditional thalli with many small bowls. They had 4-5 small bowls with raita, chutneys, and salads. Everything is served on your plate as you ask. They encourage and You can ofcourse order many times. Each thali comes with - watermelon juice, - 2 small salad, - raita - humongous serving of Appetizers / kebobs - many chicken varieties, lamb sheek kebob, lamb vada(?!), fish kebob, and shrimp grilled, paneer, stuffed mushroom and more. We were done by the time appetizers were over. We had re-ordered three times. - main course included well made buttery garlic / plain naan with 3-4 non veg curries. You cal also get chicken pulao and white rice/yogurt. Could not go past naan - dessert was a surprise. Quino sweet pongal - absolute bliss. Taste: The taste of the dishes were really good. not very spicy, but has andhra style written all over it. Customer service: The folks were very good in customer service. The orders did not take a lot of time and were very fresh (not left over food being warmed up). Time will tell if they can keep up with volume and over a period. Overall, it was a great experience. Burp.

Its a fixed menu, you have 3 choices. Veggi, chicken and meat. Portions are small, like tappas, but you can have as much as you like. The spices are cooked just right for the American taste. Although I found the rice a bit of a let down. If someone said this was a specific style of Indian food maybe I would of been ready for the odd rice, think "southern dirty rice". The strangest part of this whole restaurant is the silence. The interior itself is clean and beautiful but it was the deafing silence of the place that made some in my party nervous and uptight. Some music on the background would go along way. Another con is the communication from the staff. I like the idea of a fixed menu but I would like anyone to explain to me how it works. Silly sure but then your dont feel put out if you want something more. Like drinks, you get one drink with your order, tonight was watermelon juice. Tasty sure but was not offered any more. There was a metal pitcher of water on the table which we had to guess as to its purpose. Because again no communication from the staff. So a strong 3 stars. Pro: tasty food, clean/beautiful room, and nice staff. Con: poor communication from that same nice staff, please sort out the drink situation, and the silence, it really gets on your last nerve by the end of the meal.

Awesome Awesome Awesome Came here on our way back in the valley. This is a new place opened near Artesia and serve "unlimited" Andhra cuisine (thali). I got the veg thali and my friends ordered the meat thali. Unlimited starters - aloo tikki, tandoori paneer, gobi manchurian; tandoori chicken, sikh kabab, lamb kabab, tandoori shrimp. Starters are served with mint chutney, tomato chutney, yogurt, cucumber salad Unlimited curries - okra curry, gongura dal, shahi paneer, sambhar; gongura chicken curry, lamb curry. Curries served with garlic naans, white rice, biryani Unlimited sides- watermelon juice, quinoa payasam (sweet dish) Phew! That was so much of food under 20$ and it tasted well. Perfect spices. Service was very polite and well mannered. They ensured we have a great experience. We went on a Christmas day and received a greeting card in the end which was a discount coupon for next visit. Must visit place. How you can improve better: Communicate within yourselves to serve fast because people dont like time gaps between servings. Also, include papad, gongura pickle and more variety of Andhra sweet dishes. GOOD LUCK

Good or bad depends on the day of your visit. Wrong place to be when crowded. We go there for appetizers, and try our best to avoid entrees.
