We celebrated birthday here of a family member. It was a perfect place in a quaint neighborhood. The decor is with natural jute ropes and greenery around. Service was also something to mention, specially when the Indian dish is explained to an Indian. The entire course of food was delicious. read more

I still dream about the flavors we've had here at Copra. We had the Rasam Poori, Thattukada Fried Chicken, and the Slow-Cooked Octopus, along with the Kori Gassi and the Mysore Masala Dosa. Everything was absolutely divine. I think the Kori Gassi is the best curry I've ever had. You can instantly taste the immense depth of flavor to it once it hits your mouth. So rich and decadent. The slow-cooked octopus was also notably tender and juicy. It doesn't feel like you're eating octopus at all. We finished the meal with the God's Own Coconut Variation dessert. This was also a very impressive dish. I thought since it is shaved ice, it wouldn't be so delectable, but all the ingredients work so well with one another. It's an elevated shaved ice that highlights the flavors of coconut. I did notice that my boyfriend and I were the youngest patrons of the night when we dined here. This made me pretty skeptical and on edge about how we would receive the services here. However, I was impressed nonetheless. I think the service was top notch and I liked how each dish was served by a different member of the wait staff. Each dish was well presented and carefully explained to us. The ambiance and interior were really nice as well. The place was grandly decorated and it did not feel like we were in SF at all. It felt like were transported to a relaxing resort. read more

Copra - Slow cooked Octopus - Indian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Had a reservation on a Sunday night and the place was filled pretty quickly. Shared two small plates, two big plates, and two desserts between two people. It was definitely filling so would say don't need to order this much, but we really wanted to try a bunch of dishes. Favorite is definitely the thayir vadai chaat. So many flavors and textures, definitely makes you want more. The slow cooked octopus was cooked well, not rubbery at all and the spices paired well w the citrus. The shrimp vennai roast was delicious but did almost wish it was spicier. The kori gasi and the kallappam was a smart choice, the sweetness of the kallappam paired well with the spiciness of the curry. The konkan crab curry came with an egg appam, which I thought was special as its not a starch that I see often accompanied with curries in the area. Delicious and wish it was more common for Indian restaurants in the Bay Area. We did end up ordering rice since the ratio of curry to the starches was pretty big. Would also saw the crab for the konkan crab curry is served with the shell, so be prepared to get messy. We also got the God's own coconut variation and the watalappan for dessert. Both are delicious - the coconut dessert was light and refreshing, while the watalappan is a heavier custard dessert with the perfect amount of sweetness for something decadent. The space is beautiful with tall ceilings and beautiful decor. It definitely shows its relation to Ettan in Palo Alto for through its decor. Overall, definitely recommend for a nice night out. read more

Copra is one of the best restaurants in SF. The ambiance is great and the food is incredible. I've been twice now and was impressed both times with all of the dishes. The Rasam Poori is a must-try. It's so refreshing and unique. Our other top dish was the Char-grilled Bone Marrow, the masala that comes with it has a lot of complexity and depth and it was an unforgettable dish served with a crunchy flaky flatbread. We also liked the fried chicken, the peanut masala wrap which was really beautifully presented and had a lot of great textures, and the Dosa. Looking forward to trying more dishes our next visit! read more

Copra could have been easily a 5-star - but due to the service, I'm objectively giving it a 3 star because the manager dealt with what happened - very professionally and sincerely. Copra is located in Japantown, where Dosa used to be. This was a dinner for my BFF's birthday and we've all been waiting to try this place out. I made reservations a month in advance and had no problem for a party of 4. AMBIANCE: Stunning & absolutely beautiful. You have to see for yourself. FOOD: They serve upscale fusion Indian food packed with strong flavors. The menu ranges from traditional items you would see at a mom-and-pop shop to more modern/fusion items like octopus. We ordered: - Grilled octopus: this dish was nicely cooked, not too chewy, and beautifully plated. Love the amalgamation of the different flavors and textures - Rasam Poori: rice puff balls with bright spring veggies that you pour a passionfruit sauce over - I appreciate the modern spin of the traditional dish. The passionfruit dish was a tad too tart for me, but still very refreshing - Fried Chicken: this dish was good, but didn't particularly stand out to me - Chutney Palette: I feel like this dish was a must as it showcases the variety of different flavors. My favorite was actually the tamarind one! - Masala Dosa: this was HUGE and came with a curry-like sauce below. LOVE the chewy texture of it - Chicken Biryani: this was delicious! - Lamb Curry: strong flavored that compliment the lamb really well. - Black Cod: this is where it all went downhill, though the cod was tender and overall quite yummy. This was the dish that came with rice topped with cashews. (see service for where this place fell short) SERVICE: The service here is lacking - besides the general manager. Firstly, it is very hard to hear in this building and the hostess spoke very softly and it was quite hard to hear her. Second, our server had a shadow/someone who quietly stood behind her whom she did not introduce which we thought was weird/awkward. Third, we told our waitress 2x that my boyfriend was allergic to nuts. (the menu does note which items are nut-free, gluten-free, and vegan) The cod that we ordered said nut-free. HOWEVER, it came with rice that had cashews!!! Wherever the mistake was made, they obviously did not take these allergies seriously - if my BF actually had an anaphylactic shock to nuts - they could have had serious repercussions. Even though he took 2 Benadryls, he spent the rest of the night feeling like shit and had to vomit to get it out of his system. What bothered us the most was how badly the waitress handled the situation. We waved her down to explain that we had told her he was allergic to nuts, but we were served a dish with nuts and all she said was "yes there are nuts". She asked with flat affect if we needed any medical attention without any apologies. And proceeded to give us the check when we asked. With frustration, I asked for the manager up front and he was extremely apologetic & gave me his personal number in case my BF needed additional medical care. Verdict: Honestly, I want to come back for the food, but they need to step up their service especially paying closer attention to allergies. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Copra. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The stuff was friendly , attentive and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic dining experience. Food: the chefs at Copra have managed to combine traditional Indian flavors with a cool modern twist. The place itself is relatively new, and you can feel that there are still ongoing projects. The design inside was absolutely spectacular. The modern and sleek decor created a warm and inviting atmosphere. read more

4.5 - very impressed! Food: everything we got was delicious. we ordered the pooris, truffle appam, fried chicken (this was a winner!), dosa, black cod (second favorite), and cauliflower curry (we were dining with a vegetarian friend - it was good but wouldnt reorder necessarily), the ghee basmati rice was also so yummy. Only complaint is wish they had better dessert options! Didn't love the one we ordered but I also really don't like rice pudding. How about adding rasmalai to your menu? thanks! read more

So, I just had the most incredible dining experience at Copra on Fillmore! This Indian restaurant is a true gem, offering a unique twist on traditional Indian cuisine. Picture a tropical paradise blended with upscale elegance. Copra's ambiance transports you to another world. The lush greenery, monochromatic colors, and intricate details create a dining experience that is both relaxing and luxurious. First up, let's talk about the fried chicken. It's perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with exotic spices. It's like a flavor explosion in your mouth! Next, the Appam. These soft, fluffy pancakes are delightful. They're light as air and the ooey gooey egg takes it to another level. Now, the Rasam Poori, a dish bursting with tangy flavors. The crispy poori dipped in the flavorful rasam is a match made in culinary heaven. And oh, the Chargrilled Bone Marrow! It melts in your mouth. The richness of the marrow is perfectly balanced with zesty and savory seasonings. Lastly, the oysters at Copra are super fresh. I had a fantastic time at Copra. The staff was friendly and well-informed, and the atmosphere really set the mood. I'd absolutely return for another visit! Pro tip: I highly recommend making a reservation. There's meter parking outside. read more

Been waiting a while to make a reservation and we were able to finally try this restaurant. I honestly don't know much about Indian cuisine but it seems like a modern take on Indian foods. I absolutely loved the interior as that's a whole experience on its own. It made for an upscale experience complete with elevated presentation of food. We were seated on the second floor which was quite loud and didn't have the same aesthetics as the first floor. If given the opportunity, I'd recommend getting a table on the first floor!! We ordered 4 "Second" dishes as the first and third section didn't have foods or prices that really appealed to us. We ordered their chutney palette for the table, Rasam Poori, Thattukada Fried chicken, and slow-cooked octopus. The chutney palette comes with a selection of 4 different chutneys, each with a very distinct taste. A perfect appetizer for your main meal! The Rasam Poori was not what we were expecting as it was savory, sweet, and spicy all at the same time. We are very glad we decided to try it! Our favorite would have to be the Thattukada Fried chicken as chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly. It came with fried basil and seasoned breading that just balanced the dish perfectly. The slow-cooked octopus was not something we would get again simply because we felt like the flavors clashed. All the dishes, however, had nice pops of color and presented beautifully. We absolutely loved their desserts which is not something people really talk about. THEIR DESSERT IS UNDERRATED!!! We ordered the "Gods Own" Coconut Variation, Watalappan, and Nannari Sorbet. We can't pick a favorite as each had it's own stand out quality while maintaining indian flavors. The coconut variation had so many different textures and just refreshing. The Watalappan was an interesting combination of chai flan and pineapple which didn't really work but a nice attempt. The Nannari sorbet is something my partner still brings up constantly and worth a try! All in all, this is a perfect place for a night out, hang with some friends, and a celebration. We look forward to coming back soon. read more

Inconspicuous restaurant on Fillmore! Walked by this area many times but never noticed this place. It was a decent sized restaurant and was packed on a Friday night. The decor was quite cute and airy with a lot of oak wood furniture. Our waitress suggested 2 firsts (small bites) 4 seconds (bigger appetizers), and 3 thirds (main dishes) to share among 4 people. We ordered one less first than recommended and were stuffed by the end of the night. The highlight was definitely the fried chicken, black cod, and dosa for me. Most dishes were packed with flavours and spices but some were a bit too spicy for someone like me who doesn't have a high spice tolerance (a me problem). The cocktails were mediocre in my opinion compared other nearby restaurants and could skip if you aren't a big fan of alcohol. Would be open to come back and try their other dishes. read more

It was fine but not sure I get the hype personally. The food was interesting and most of it was tasty. However, some dishes were so rich (cod, lobster) that they negated the flavors of earlier dishes like the shrimp, rassam, corn, and octopus. The octopus was my favorite. The apps we had were my favorite compared to the mains. The mocktails were too expensive for what they were. Tiger's eye tasted like a Christmas pine cone. The dessert didn't sound enticing. Oscar, our server, was pleasant and the assistant manager was helpful in walking us through the menu. The decor was hip but I didn't love the ambiance. Glad I tried it but I wouldn't rush back here. P.S. The online resy system was confusing. read more

The food tastes amazing. A lot of it had a spicy finish, but to me, it was not painful nor lingering. The staff from the hosts to the servers were especially kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. The decor was beautiful and chic. A great place for celebrating a special occasion. Orange Ruby Nonalcoholic cocktail Lemon grass and orange blossom shine through, with a subtle aftertaste of tonic. Really enjoyable drink. Perigold Black Truffle Soft Egg Appam Crisp pancake. Well combined with the truffle and egg. Rasam Poori You pour the liquid into the balls, filling 3/4 of the way full and try to eat it in one bite. So refreshing. Little bite aftertaste. Shrimp Vennai Roast Well seasoned shrimp with a kick at the end. Slow-cooked Octopus Incredibly tender. Goes well with the fruit paired with it. Black Cod Pollichathu Creamy sauce and the fish melts in your mouth. Deliciously paired with rice. God's Own Coconut Variation Most unique combination of texture, flavor, and temperature. Ginger Cardamom Chaya Excellent way to compliment the dessert. read more

First time trying the spot as I heard very good things about it. we ordered numerous appetizers and entrées. Right off the bat, the ambience was phenomenal with a clean and bright look. The waiters were very efficient and catered to our needs immediately. I loved the basket of lentil chips and assortment of dips. Many of the appetizers were OK and I could've done without, but I loved all the entrées we ordered such as the lamb, pork belly, etc. All in all, I would come back and try more entrees while the appetizers were okay. read more

Copra - Indian Near Me - San Francisco, California

had an unpleasant experience :( we were past the 10 min grace period (we arrived 15 min late due to traffic) then watched as another party who was past the 10 min period was seated while we were asked to go to the communal table. Also it was quite silly that the only option was to pay $45 per head if we didn't want to sit at the communal table or reschedule the reservation. Also, the host and waiter did not appear to care and in fact rolled their eyes at us. While we understand that this was the policy and the staff can't do anything about it, I can't help but feel they could have been nicer, and potentially had a grudge against us. As someone who has worked in a restaurant before, I found it strange that they appeared to be annoyed just because we were sad that we were forced to sit at the communal table or pay a large fee on my birthday. Lastly, we got some sass from our waiter when my boyfriend asked for something close to butter chicken, who didn't mean any harm. This was probably the worst restaurant experience I've had after living in SF for a number of years. It's a shame since we were really excited to try this place too! It truly ruined my day. read more

So I came here knowing it was super hyped and hence had very low expectation for the food. Ambience - 4/5 They have done a great job with the interiors. My only complaint is that the place is pretty loud. Otherwise top notch experience for a date night. Food - 4/5 I am very picky with my Indian food and as a vegetarian my options are usually limited. The egg appam was the star of the show. It's the only dish I would say you shouldn't miss at this place. Others were really flavorful and kept true to the dishes they represented. Drinks - 5/5 Uniquely crafted drinks. Would recommend the jaggery sour and the Kokum and smoke. read more

Visited copra with a couple of friends to celebrate an occasion. The ambience is extremely classy and beautiful. We started with the chutney platter with papad. Several of the party being from South India and familiar with the food were pretty disappointed at the combination of some of these chutneys and the chips , especially the fried chilli based chutneys. Most of the curries lacked flavor and weren't authentic as the party expected it to be . Overall it's definitely overpriced and the taste was below par for a place of such standard. Would not recommend if you're looking for some authentic South Indian food. read more

Great food and Indian influenced flavors. Not traditional Indian fare (I was tols) but excellent quality food with great flavors. Service was top notch.

I recently dined at Copra Indian Restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience! The decor was vibrant and inviting and was giving me a mix of Tulum and Indian vibes! The service was decent but they did seem a bit overwhelmed as the place was packed with people! The modern take on Indian cuisine was a delightful surprise, with dishes that were not only visually stunning but also some of the best I've ever had. The innovative flavors and expertly crafted menu truly set Copra apart. A five-star gem for anyone seeking a unique and delicious dining adventure. For food, we decided to start with the chutney palette and rasam poori. Both were amazing and I highly recommend both as appetizers. For the main course, my partner and I both got the chicken biryani. Also amazing ! The dish is slightly spicy but should be tolerable to most people. We were so stuffed after all of that food so we skipped dessert. All in all we had an amazing culinary experience and will definitely be back. Definitely give this place a try! Remember to book a reservation as this restaurant is extremely popular! read more

After eating here several times, I went during the day to try their filter coffee. Given, we were getting drinks, we sat at the bar...Although it was pretty empty, the server was EXTREMELY RUDE. She was clearly angry at our order, snatched our menus and plates, and commented about our order to others. She even gave us our bill before the coffee came out. We tried our best to enjoy our coffee, however within 15 minutes, she grabbed our cups - mine still had a fair bit left and continued to look very displeased. We tipped and tried to explain that we live very close to the restaurant and wanted to pop in for coffee... but she continued to be very rude. read more

Overall I loved the vibe of this place! Its right in the main SF downtown. I would recommend having prior reservations specially for weekends as it has long wait line to get inside. Best drink is Orange Ruby (one of their populars)! Didn't like the other cocktails as such! We went for brunch here with group of friends. We ordered Rasam Poori, Thayir Vadai Chaat, Mysore Masala dosa, Kori ghaasi! Loved all of them! But the highlight is TENDER JACK "SIXTY FIVE" Best of all!!

i've been waiting forever to try this place. i'm so glad they decided to replace the old "Dosa" w/ another Indian restaurant. I was super sad when Dosa closed as i really love this space. it is spacious inside with high ceilings and modern decor. I hopped on the waiting list last minute on a Friday. i got seated in about 25 mins. I just grabbed drinks @ Paina across the street. My partner and i thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes. The octopus was nice and tender with unique flavors. We ordered some dosas of course which were really good and it came with a variety of different chutneys and sauces. The spice level was perfect for me. If you can't tolerate spice i recommend letting them know! read more

Gorgeous exterior, modern boho interior. Busy, and a 15-minute wait to be seated with a reservation that was harder than a lot of restaurants to get, but by no means difficult if you know which day reservations open. Did not know there was an upstairs until I was seated there! The noise level is a bit loud, but I could still have a conversation and they had good music (Mura Masa, Flume, etc.). Seems great for groups since there's a good amount of 6+ seaters. The staff seem to be working very hard to keep the place moving quickly while being attentive without rushing. Zero complaints about service or scene. I came here because it was voted #1 new restaurant in America to try, so I knew I had some expectations for the food with such a famed chef. The great thing is, it very much lived up to the hype. The flavors rival meals that cost much more. We decided to go family-style and tried the egg appam first. If there's anything that's an absolute must, it is this first course. It is flavorful and balanced yet light, and pretty much everything I could ask for in a first dish! It would be unassuming based on sheer volume, but it was my favorite part of the meal. The white corn was a bit of a newer dish they added, and it surprised me about how spicy it hit me. The spice is manageable, but I did not think it was advertised as spicy at first, so be warned. However, it's a great level of spice and tasted bright, a bit acidic, and somewhat sweet from the corn. If I could handle spice better, maybe I would have picked this as my favorite. The octopus, lamb, and black cod were all very delicious, but these two dishes were a knock out of the park. As for dessert, the most popular one is God's Own, described as a coconut water crystal dessert with other offerings. I was skeptical about it since the description and visual was much too similar to shaved ice (and thus felt gimmicky), but I stood corrected. I can't exactly explain why it's a bit different to the Taiwanese dessert, but it's a novelty that earned its perks. As for drinks, I tried the non alcoholic salty-city. It was definitely something.... Different. Very much a love or or hate it kind of drink, but there's a good amount of cocktails to choose from. Overall, I'm so glad I tried this place and would definitely tell others that it's a must-try in San Francisco. read more

Believe the hype. It was wonderful. Service was maybe slightly too attentive but excellent. We were never waiting around for anything. All of the servers seemed knowledgable about the food. The shrimp small plate was sensational. Shrimp was smothered in incredible spice and the coconut shone through beautifully. The dosa was exceptional. I grew up eating my Mom's fantastic masala dosa and this one is, dare I say it, better. The cod...the cod! Inventive and miraculous. It was served inside a banana leaf and I believe it was cooked in the banana leaf too; whatever they did worked because it was the most tender cod I have ever eaten. It was served with a rich yet spicy cream sauce. I couldn't get enough. The fried chicken was just ok. A bit tough, and so spicy I could barely taste it. The one big BUT to all of this was the dessert. We ordered the mango halwa and it was...strange. Chopped fresh (delicious) mango in a syrupy halwa. I get they are trying to do something inventive here, but it just didn't work for me. I wish they would add some traditional dessert items, like rasmalai, or even a slice of chocolate cake. :) The dessert just didn't satisfy. Also, the South Indian coffee was too sweet for me, and not nearly enough spice. I would definitely come back, in fact I am considering coming back just to have the masala dosa. read more

The decor might have been my favorite thing about this place but the food wasn't terrible either but not the best. Everything had an overly buttery taste that you usually find at westernized restaurants but one of the fish dishes we ordered was incredible it came in a banana leaf and everything. The ambience and service were great, cocktails a bit on the sweeter side and premade so not a lot of room for modifications. Overall enjoyable but personally would say Rooh is my favorite. read more

This is one of my favorite Indian fusion restaurants in the United States. Not only Copra offers a rich and flavorful selections of menu but the ambience and the service are among top notch things that I want to call out. Our server Ice was on of the kindest human being I have ever met. We began our food experience with oyesters. It was so fresh and the sauce just gave an extra kick! We then had rasam poori. I would say rasam poori was okay. We then had scallop and rhubarb and it tasted magical- super flavorful and rich in taste. We also got thattukada fried chicken. The chicken was super tender and flavorful... I guess by this point you all know all the foods are super flavorful. For mains we got, Konkan crab: it just reminded me of the crab curry from my hometown in Bangladesh. It's messy to eat but they bring rinsing towel to for you to clean your hands once your are done. Worth the taste and messiness. The Konkan crab comes with an appam which is amazing to dip in the sauce Masala dosa: loved the sauces from the dosa pallet. Pro tip: there is hidden potato under the dost so don't miss it. Finally our server Ice surprised us with mango halua and rice pudding for dessert.

Best restaurant in San Francisco. The service, phenomenal. The ambiance, emasculate. The food, 1 billion out of 10. While Indian food is my favorite food, South Indian is not something I love that much (not a bit coconut guy). However, this was sensational. No overwhelming flavors except delicious! For drinks we got the Lemon Chili cocktail and a Mint Mojito. What didn't we order! And so much we could have ordered to try but ate soooo much. We got the: - PERIGORD BLACK TRUFFLE SOFT EGG APPAM, PEPPER, CHIVES (8.5/10) - BEACH PEANUT MASALA WRAP (8/10) - RASAM POORI (8/10) - SLOW - COOKED OCTOPUS (10000/10) - MYSORE MASALA DOSA (10/10) - BLACK COD POLLICHATHU (10/10) Beyond delicious - all of it!

Loving that SF finally has some elevated India cuisine choices now. Like a real city. Add Copra to the list. Reservation definitely recommended. If you dont find an ideal slot, make the res but check back in a week or two prior to your res date, as they seem to release additional slots on a rolling basis. The space is beautiful. Light and airy. Tables are fairly close together and the vibe is buzzy, but we were able to easily hold a conversation throughout the evening. Service was impeccable. Lots of great wine choices by the glass, and a remarkable bottle list. Our server was deeply knowledgeable about the food and beverages, but there's a som at the restaurant if you want to go deep. There were four of us. We ordered three apps and three mains, along with supplemental rice and bread, which ended up being a good call not only because the dosas are magic, but were absolutely needed to soak up all the delicious curries and other sauces. Ample vegetarian and vegan options. We are all omnivores, but ended up ordering mostly veg. 100% satisfying - the VOD (vegetables of the day) was a feast in itself. The lamb was gamey and perfectly prepared. From looking at what was being served around this, I'd say you cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Bring a group! if you can! All the courses were really well timed, and we never felt rushed throughout the entire evening. We were so stuffed by the end of the savory dishes that we couldnt squeeze in dessert. Will have to go back!! Thanks, Corpa, for the thoroughly enjoyable evening. :) read more

Supposedly Coach Steve Kerr's favorite restaurant - We came here a little before 5:30pm (we had reservations. There was a lot of people standing outside; some with reservations some without. It was kind of a cluster trying make your way inside. There should be a walk-in line and reservation line. The ambiance is very nice and modern, but i think they went a little YOLO with the ropes lol. -Old Fashion with bourbon: Hard to F this up. It was good! We ordered 5 items from the "Little" selection. -PEACH & QUINOA SUNDAL :Girl & Dug Farms Greens, Puffed Quinoa, Mango, Cucumber. This was very tastsy and refreshing. Helps your taste buds cool down a little if the chutney has too much heat for you. -CHUTNEY PALETTE FOR THE TABLE, you get to pick 4. We chose Wild gooseberry chutney (mild), Burnt chili - tamarind chutney (Spicy), Coconut green sambal (kinda sweet/mild), Ghost chili chutney (Spicy). All highly addictive, couldn't stop snacking on them throughout the meal. -SHRIMP VENNAI ROAST : A chef Sri's favorite, shrimp roasted in chili chutney, brown butter, curry leaves, and lime. This was one of our favorite bites. Very delish! SLOW - COOKED OCTOPUS: Jaffna curry leaf rub, yogurt, pomelo, mint, and purple radish. I like my Octopus a bit more on the crispy side, but it was well cooked, not tough, and flavorful. Another one of our favorite bites of the night. THATTUKADA FRIED CHICKEN(A street food classic from the streets of Trivandrum) Fennel seeds, red chilies, black pepper, shallots, and masala crumbs. This was aiighhtttt...Flavor was good, but the chicken seemed a little dry. For the mains: DINDIGUL STYLE CHICKEN BIRYANI: Jeera samba rice, red onion raita and pepper, and eggplant salan and LAMB SHOULDER CHETTINAD: Slow braised in Chettinad Spices, Dried Coconut & Stone Flower, with Kal-dosai Although the proteins in these dishes were nicely cooked, they were the most disappointing. They both seemed a little bland, but it couldn't been cause the appetizers were a little spicy? I dunno. Also, it was a very long wait from our first 5 dishes to the main two dishes. Our stomach was starting to settle by this point and I was getting full. The first 5 dishes came out so quick, but from when they asked, "Are you ready for the mains?" to when we get our mains, it was an eternity. I was beginning to think they forgot about us lol. Also, I think it's important to tell first timers how delish should be eaten. We had no clue. Otherwise service was good. Dessert KAVUNI & MANGO: Frozen kavuni rice milk, cashew mittai crumble, ripe mango, clove & honey syrup. Best bite of the night. lol I guess, I can just say I've tried Copra, but wouldn't make an effort to come back anytime soon. read more
