India is a country that has diversity and influence of people lifestyle as well as the cuisine. Each region of country has their own style, flavor, and taste in food. But when it comes to South India region it talks more about the sharp, vibrant and contrasting color thing and same thing reflects on their food too. The usage of spices in South India is more than the various region of the country.
So, talking more about the south Indian food here we got a new restaurant that serves the 6 states thalis from south India region (Andhra, Telangana, Tamilnadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Maharashtra) and the taste of each thali will make you to understand how much contrasting flavors does each state carry. The thalis over here are simple but soulful food to enjoy.
Coming to the ambiance of the place as soon as you enter the place the outside section of the restaurant is just olden days south Indian house with aagan/veranda with small decorative and hanging diya’s. Right now, they are serving only 4 states thali and the rest 2 will be added on the menu by coming next week. Each thali consist of 13 to 14 varieties of items and cost of this thalis are around Rs 250/- each.
