I must preface this review by saying that this was my first time having had South Indian food…read more Having said that the overall experience, service and food was incredible. Starting with the food we ordered Vadai and the masala (potato) dosa to as an appetizer, which came with three sides. This was really delicious the dosa was so fresh and the potatoes were a perfect amount of spicy, it paired really nice with the chutneys. There was one that was a little spicy, it was so good. As our main course we ordered the chettinad chicken masala and the Kothu parotta (vegetarian option), which came with rice. They were both great, but the knockout dish was the Kothu Parotta wow! So many flavors I would love to learn how to make it! Also, ordered the mango lassi, it was perfection, both in the mango taste and texture! Really enjoyed this place!

This is different from the North Indian food you find in Indian restaurants here, which are more focussed on dishes that go well with Naan or other wheat-based breads. Southern Indian cuisine is typically more rice-based. The specialties here are dosas - thin rice pancakes, uthappas - like dosas, only thicker, and idlis - steamed rice cakes. These are to be had with a variety of savory fillings - chutneys, dals, or even chicken. The place is pretty authentic and the food has been great the two times I've been there. The service is friendly and the food arrives quickly and piping hot - the way it should be if you want to enjoy it best. I do recommened booking in advance if you plan to go there on a weekend. The place does not hold more than 25 people and can get filled up fast. I normally go for the 'Dosa Dosa Dosa', which is great value for money. You play something like 175 DKK and get unlimited dosas and chutneys. Best to enjoy that on an empty stomach. :) Highly recommended.

She said she'd just eaten here a week before but was happy to go again; that says something! To start the evening, I got an Indian Summer Bourbon (75 dkk) which was nicely heavy on the bourbon but wasn't that great even though there was supposed to be Limoncello in it. Two of my favourite alcohols, how could it have gone so wrong? Also it had some dry herbs sprinkled on top which got all over my lips and teeth so I had to ask for a straw. Odd drink! Luckily the Chettinad Special Fish (137 dkk) fared much better with perfectly cooked salmon/trout in a delicious thick sauce. I was surprised that it came with pink fish as I assumed most fish used in Indian cuisine has white flesh. I guess the restaurant is just working with what they can get here. It came with rice and I ate the whole thing. I also got a bite of Maria G.'s Lamb Sukka Varuval Fry (139 dkk) which had great texture and taste. Normally I don't get dessert but I love Gulab Jamun (55 dkk) so I had to give theirs a try. It was so delicious but also very hot, so be careful! Maria kindly let me have some of her pistachio Kulfi (49 dkk) to cool my mouth and I almost regretted not getting that instead. I love pistachio ice cream and this was no exception! It was a little hard to hear my tablemates in there but I could definitely hear the party behind me. And although the waiter was nice, he forgot about us a couple times as the place was filling up. We asked him for some more fried chilies (which were incredibly salty on their own but seasoned our dishes well) and had to wave him down again once our food was half-eaten. But this is nothing that would keep me from coming back again for great food at a very decent price.

I love Indian food, but don't have quite the knowledge to figure out what's what and what's…read moreauthentic. So I let myself to be dragged to this place, for what's supposed to authentic South Indian food. The place is on the busy Vesterbrogade, slightly tucked in on the first floor with room full of natural light (it can get quite dark after sundown). All white and tidy, although I'm not sure if it's the smartest choice when you're serving curry and the likes. I had masala dosa for starter, which is very good if you're into spicy stuff, as it's spicy. It was quite large and filling for a starter (I don't know want to know how big is the paper dosa is - that is claimed to be as big as newspaper, hope it doesn't taste like one either). For main course I had the Karaikudi Nandu Masala, crab cooked in curry. Now here the challenge starts. It's two huge crab claws and half the crab (could've had more in it) cooked in reddish curry that is spicy and very good. I got all the tools I need but it would have been better if the crab claws were cracked first so it would make it easier for me to scoop out the meat. Do I need to say that my part of table becomes very messy right away since I had to hold the crab claws and crack them? I do not regret a single thing tho' - that crab curry was very good and I'd do it all over again and that I'm used to eating crab, messy as hell, but at least the kitchen could've helped when the restaurant is decorated nicely, not a street food when you're allowed to break open the crab with a hammer :) For dessert our friend shared the Idly (the pancake-looking made from fermented rice (the menu described these as the form of UFOs :P ) and gulab jamun that were also very good, but then again I'm not into sweet stuff, so I'd have no problem to skip those. The bill comes up at 265 DKK for Masala Dosa, Nandu Masala and a bottle of Kingfisher. Quite fair considering I had the crab menu that is usually pricey anyway. I'd eat dinner here again, but maybe if I chose the crab dish again, I'd come better prepared Dexter style with plastic raincoat and gloves :P
