It's clean inside and plenty of natural lighting. Since we were one of two parties inside, the service was quick. I ordered the chicken tikka wrap, as I was feeling something handheld. The chicken tikka was perfectly seasoned, with a good kick of spiciness. I will say, the oil did seep through the naan wrap, so it was definitely a bit messy to eat. But the flavor was so good that it was worth it. AND, the wrap was only $14. In this economy? The prices were really reasonable. One of the best Indian restaurants I've had in the Bay, and I will be back!

We visited Meenakshi Bhavan for dinner following a friend's recommendation. It is a relatively new…read morespot specializing in South Indian cuisine, and we had a good experience. The food was great, and the service was quick and friendly. Dishes we tried: - Ghee Onion Rava Masala Dosa (5/5): large portion size, dosa felt light and it was delicious. - Vegetable Kothu Paratha (5/5): good flavor with plenty of vegetables. - Guntur Chilli Masala Dosa (4/5): Very large portion size and it was ok. If you are looking to try Dosas, Rava dosa is a better choice over this.

Food we ordered: 1) Dilkush Dabeli: amazing I loved it 2) Pav Bhaji: good, Bhaji needs less butter and less purée-ing 3) paneer sandwich (I forgot the name): heavy. Lays chips: I'm not a big fan, Green chutney served along side was watery and not something I would eat. Service: the guys were fast, kind and sincere. Since I loved my dilkush dabeli I'll be coming back again (and that's why I gave it 5 stars)

A Solid Spot for Your Street Food Cravings :…read more This is a decent place that definitely lives up to its name, if you are craving Pav Bhaji, this is exactly where you want to be. The Food: I have to give the Pav Bhaji a solid 5 stars. They have all the options you could want to try out (like the Amul Pav Bhaji), and it hits the spot perfectly. The bhaji comes out generously topped with shredded cheese, accompanied by perfectly toasted, buttery pav, fresh diced onions, and a lime wedge. They also offer the "more" part of their namesake, which includes street food staples like Vada Pav, loaded Paneer and Veg Sandwiches (served with a great green chutney and a side of chips), and chaat. The Dahi Puri (listed as S.P.D.P.) looks great and comes beautifully topped with yogurt, sev, and fresh pomegranate seeds. You can also wash everything down with some authentic Amruttulya chai or a refreshing glass of chaas. The interior is casual, clean, and has plenty of seating, making it a great spot for a quick bite. However, true to its name, the menu doesn't stretch much further beyond these specific street food staples. If you are looking for an expansive, full-course menu, you won't find it here. Overall: 5 stars for the Pav Bhaji, but giving it a solid 4 stars overall for the rest of the items and the limited menu scope. Definitely worth a stop when that specific craving hits!

Local Pakistani artwork adorning the walls. Delicious grilled meat smells wafting around as well. ***FOOD: we got chicken 65, naan and samosa chaat sans yogurt. *chicken 65-3/5- this was almost beetroot red in color. In my naivety I hoped it was some natural food color using beetroot. But I later learnt from them that it was not. It left me appalled at the liberal use of such toxic artificial colors. Colors aside, the chicken itself was delicious. But I will make sure to ask them beforehand next time and order something that doesn't have colors. *naan-5/5- this was amazing. Hot from the tandoor. It wasn't charred at the bottom. It was light and large. It was clear that it was made by someone who knew their craft. I will come back here just for the naan. *samosa chaat-3/5- this made me sick, I had an upset tummy for a few days after. It was hot day so I m assuming they had problems with their chutney or maybe it was the samosa with the potato filling. Upset tummy aside, the chaat flavors were decent, not the best of the lot but decent nonetheless.

Special mention to their amazing filter coffee. Along with idli, vada, poori, upma, punugulu, you can get a custom dosa made to order. The chutneys taste amazing as well, more like the Andhra style of chutneys and they are a bit on the spicier side exactly how we like them. Loved it so much that we went to this place back to back on 2 weekends

It was so fresh and flavorful. 11/10 The fish thali -fish cutlet was a little too bland with little flavor. The chutney, curries and rest of the plate was good. 7/10 The tandoori prawns were lack luster. Masala was good but the quality of the prawns tasted a little muddy. 5/10 (sorry) Loved the ambience, the decor was tastefully done. Very clean restaurant and surprisingly great smelling for a fish restaurant. You can clearly see the pride the owners have in their place. The chef looked good in her white chef jacket and you could see she was happy to be there :) Was good to see a woman chef. Last but not least the staff was friendly and happy to help. Will be back to try some more dishes. Thank you.

Best dosas ever! If your non-veg friends ever doubt vegetarian food you should definitely bring…read morethem here! I don't often crave dosas or idli but after having this place I crave it all the time! I have tried kara dosa, rava dosa, podi idli and podi dosa. And nothing I have had has been not 10/10. The crispness of the dosa is unmatched and the flavors are so good, I especially love the podi flavor. The sambar is good too and the best part is the ginger chutney. The ginger chutney is the reason I keep coming again and again. They add so much ghee after eating it you will def need a nap or 2. All this for a preety good price point too! Most of the stuff is less than 15$ Parking is a bit tough especially on weekends or dinner time. Service is so fast and order comes out fast. It's more of a casual place where you can go fir a quick bite

I've eaten there twice for brunch, both times there was a modest wait but diners cycle through quickly. I've ordered the Masala Dosa on both visits, the dosa is crispy, potatoes are nicely seasoned. The dish is accompanied by a nice selection of chutneys. Out of all of it, the sambar is probably my favorite, I would happily eat an entire bowl of just this. First visit I had the filter coffee which was quite good, second visit I had the chai which was also tasty. If I had to pick one, I'd go with the coffee.
