Think of it as a snack version of Sangam Chettinad Without most of the meat and vegetable dishes but with most of the carbs. BUT OMG WHAT CARBS! Dosas to die for! Vadas and Idlis in sauces that will send you to paradise and back. Sweet pancake desserts that your divine mother made for you in your earlier life! I came out of there supremely happy and stuffed to the absolute gills. If you go, Prudence would suggest that you order one and only one dish, No matter what part of the menu that dish appears in. You may not want to be prudent. If you can't fit into your car after you finish eating here, Have someone go buy you a bigger car. Five Stars All The Way On A Stick!

June 7, 2025 review ---…read moreWe visited this place with our friends and got paneer Pulav, rava dosa, poori aloo. We never had Pulav here before but thought of trying because it was listed as new item. My husband was craving for poori so we got the poori aloo and ofcourse, rava dosa is one of the best here so we didn't want to miss that. We got poori pretty quick and were told that other items were coming pretty soon. Rava dosa came after in few mins but it was soggy and cold. You can tell that it's not just came out of tawa. It looked like an old order to me. I asked to call the manager and told about dissatisfaction with rava dosa. He first tried to defend, then I asked him to touch and tell and if it's fresh. He said he will get it replaced and get a fresh one coming. Ofcourse that took 15-20 mins to come. Paneer Pulav was good. Not too spicy and it came with yogurt to balance. Rice was also sticking to each other so it looked like paneer biryani to me but ofcourse very balanced spices version. My friend also ordered the veg keema Pulav but I like the paneer one more. Service can be hit or miss so I'm reducing one star but overall good quality is good. Also when I visited this back in June, they had the buy 2 Pulav at a certain price offer going on. We looked at it later and checked that out cheque had individual priced for each Pulav. Manage gave the reason as we ordered two in 15 mins gap. He later offered us the balance as courtesy but we didn't take it. I think this should have been accounted while creating the cheque in first place. Overall good place for vegetarian south Indian food.

This place is right around the corner so I decided to give it a whirl…read more I ordered online, and got there to pick up at the time it said it would be ready. There was one customer waiting, and not another person. I waited about ten minutes. My son loves chicken Tikka masala, so we ordered him some. It is spicy. I'm into a moderate spice, and this is burning my lips as I type. There was no option when ordering online to determine level of spice so we weren't ready for that. Beyond the spice the chicken was tough, so even if the spice was toned down the chicken wasn't great. The tandoori chicken is nice and flavorful and tender. $17 for three drumsticks and two thighs might be a bit steep. Overall not an overwhelmingly good experience.

Quite honestly, it was better than the onion dosa...more filling. The Marsala dosa was not as crisp on the outside with folded ends. The potato and peas mixture was fragrant and perfectly seasoned with spices. I savored every bite. This meal was so enjoyable to eat. My server was very attentive bringing me a menu to the table and offering me water to drink. She was very friendly and personable. Only one person came into the restaurant while I dined there. He was getting his food to do. Otherwise, it was extremely quite with virtually the entire restaurant to myself. I was having a early lunch. Overall, very chill environment.

Ordered: Chicken tikka masala: 4/5 good flavor, chicken is an almost slightly dry but there's chunks of chicken. Garlic naan- 5/5 garlicky and so good that we ordered a second order. It was airy and light! Love it! Somasas- 4/5 cripsy on the outside and loaded with potato on the inside. The flavor was good and it was well seasoned. Chicken biryanis- 1/5 not sure why there was loads of rice and hardly any chicken. 95% rice and 5% small tiny pieces of chicken. For the value it wasn't a great deal. We were informed that on Saturdays and Sundays New Sintara have a weekend lunch buffet from 11am-3:30pm. There is over 33+ items to try for $24.95 per person. With that said.. of course we had to come back to see what's up with that.. The second time we went on a Sunday for their lunch buffet at 1:30 and this place was packed out the door. It's a super popular place and there was a waitlist to get in. We waited for about 35-40 minutes and were then seated. All of the food options were really great and I am happy to report the biryanis quality was better to meat and rice ratio. I tried the chicken and mutton biryanis that was excellent. My preferred the chicken more since the mutton was pretty spicy. There were so many dessert options and my favorite was the coconut cake. I am not sure what the red fried chicken tender dish was but that was my favorite. Do you recommend this place? Overall experience yes! I would do the buffet again but will come early when they open instead of later. This place does get pretty crowded and it's a great way to try everything to figure out what you like.

I have tried a variety of their vegetarian items and have fallen in love with all of them (malai kofta and methi paneer being some of my all time favorites). The price is a great and I can easily split my entree into two meals. I do wish they had some chaat on the menu but that is just my North Indian roots talking. I've also noticed that their online ordering system doesn't allow for spice modifications. In my house, everything is spicy so it's slightly frustrating that it can't be adjusted to make it spicier but we enjoy it as is as well.
