They serve tap water, but customers can always request a bottled water or soft drink. Despite its shortcomings, many people enjoy dining here due to its convenient location and extended opening hours.

Decent street type food. Good plafe to have breakfast as they offer food varieties like string hoppers, noodles and rice and curry. Nothing special though.

I recently visited this restaurant. I tried their biriyani and koththu. The biriyani was good, but I especially enjoyed their koththu. The restaurant is located in a busy area near Majestic City. They could improve on cleanliness and hygiene, but overall the customer service was good and the prices were reasonable.

The kothu is very good and a full portion is enough for two people. The chicken cheese kothu is creamy and delicious, and the sweet cheese kothu is also fantastic. The outdoor seating area is located on the top floor.
