On 16th July I decided to treat my best friend and his wife on the eve of my birthday at South Indies. We were shown to a table. I requested for a change in the seating to the other side where the seating are on Sofa, but was told that there is a booking for 20 & hence cannot be provided with the seating there.
Beverages:==I ordered a fruit punch, when the fruit punch arrived, I was surprised at the quantity as it was about 100ml odd but was priced at 175/-
Starter:= “Mokka Junna Miriyalu fry” was tasty. Price - 120/- for abt 9~12 pieces of baby corn.
Main course:======We ordered “Neer Dosa” & “Appam” with curries “Kai Kari stew” and “Mirapakaya Pattani Curry”. The Dosa and Appam come as 2 per portion and the portion is priced at 75/- each.Both the curries are priced at 175/-.
Neer Dosa was good, but Appam was not great. Kai Kari stew is supposed to be coconut milk based stew, was watery where in the vegetables were on one side and the gravy ran the other side when served on the plate. The peas in the Mirapakaya curry was uncooked and raw. When the steward asked abt the food, I told abt the uncooked peas, they took the remaining portion of the curry, reheated it and bought back.
Dessert:=I ordered my favourite - “Khashi Halwa”, only to repent! The grated pumpkin was kind of rawish and there were sugary granules that I felt on my tongue.
Prices are extremely steep for the portions served.Service is efficient, Ambience is not so great, but Ok.
Sincere advice is not to go to South Indies, but if you do, never order the curries that we did.Also, the group of 20 people never turned up:-)
