Only lately has there been an emphasis on the different areas that various Indian dishes come from. Sree Krishna has long been held to be one of the best south Indian restaurants in the capital and you can often find a happy mix of Sri Lankans and south Indians enjoying the food here. The typical south Indian starter is the dosai, a thin crispy pancake made with lentil flour with various fillings. The version here is lovely and light with a variety of spicy fillings. My sister had some vegetarian friends over for dinner tonight and we go a selection of vegetarian and meat curries. From the carnivore's point of view, the meat methi was outstanding and the chicken jalfrezi lovely. In both cases, you could taste the distinctive spice mix, with fenugreek dominating the methi and capsicum and tomato in the jalfrezi The vegetarian friends wiped up every last drop of the aloo methi, sambar, avial and bhindi bhaji curries A good spot to try some south Indian fare

Or it could be because this is not like the usual Indian food that you'd get in London, i.e., curries. This place serves what we can Udipi cuisine, from the south of India.

My favourites: onion rava mutton masala dosa, kal dosa, kottu parotta, uttapam, idlus, medhu vada. And their filter coffee is kickass. A special shout out to one if the waiters, Sanjay, who's very friendly and always welcomes you with a smile. He'll, sometimes, slip you off-menu items too, just for a taste!

I've walked by this restaurant a few times and didn't really have much of a draw so walked right by. My Malaysian friend pointed out that she really likes this chain veggie restaurant and its located all over the world. I went for lunch and it wasn't too busy during the week. I liked that there was automatically a jug of water at the table. There's so much to chose from and I was particularly interested in the chinese fusion stuff. Paneer fried rice! What to get... I look around and looks like the dosa is the popular thing on the menu. I haven't had a proper dosa in years. I've had the ones you get at street fairs and they always seem to disappoint. There are so many to chose from but I went with the masala dosa. It comes out pretty quickly and it's really as good as it gets. It's so good and shockingly cheap. It was only £3.25! I do want to come back and try some of the other dishes.

I got there about ten minutes before they opened - they open at 12. After they put the sign outside, I walked in, and found a nice little well kept place, with friendly people ready to serve food. I had a tomato/bean soup, very filling, and a salad. The salad had a great rice and bean under it...the absolute best was the miso dressing! (I probably would have bought a bottle had they sold it!)

As good as or better than any Italian food I've had in the US of A. We were a party of 8 and had a large assortment of appetizers & mains all of which were delicious.

Went on Sunday for their £14.50 Sunday lunch - fantastic value. The antipasti was simple but delicious. Real highlight was the rolled anchovies in breadcrumbs.

I had the later and wished I had served myself more. Desserts were simple, although I was a bit bummed at the lack of tiramisu. I have been working my way around the tiramisus of the world since my first encounter in Italy so am a very boring guest at an Italian dinner if I don't get it. I had canoli, which were perfect. Overall, love the atmosphere (think kids covered in tomato sauce) nonnas chowing down on risotto, and lots of normal 30s folk enjoying good comfort food and comfort prices.
