I recently dined at a Annalakshmi restaurant and had a mixed experience. The food was fantastic, offering an authentic taste that I thoroughly enjoyed. The ambience was amazing, providing a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. However, the service left much to be desired. We waited for an hour before our food arrived, which was quite frustrating. On the plus side, the restaurant has a large seating capacity, making it a good choice for bigger groups. If they can improve their service speed, it would be a top-notch dining spot.

*5/5 Stars: A Hidden Gem with Stellar Customer Service!* I stumbled upon this unassuming South Indian restaurant, and I'm so glad I did! Despite being a busy establishment at today's lunch, the food and service was top-notch and left a lasting impression. *Ambiance: 4.5/5* The restaurant's decor is simple, yet elegant. The aroma of spices and fresh herbs wafts through the air, teasing your taste buds and building anticipation. *Food: 5/5* The menu boasts an impressive array of traditional South Indian dishes, including dosas, idlis, vadas, and more. I opted for the Masala Dosa, which was cooked to perfection. The crispy, golden-brown exterior gave way to a fluffy, flavorful interior. The accompanying sambar and chutneys were equally impressive. Hats off to the chefs in the back. The food speaks volumes about the behind the scenes talent! *Service: 5/5* This is where the restaurant truly shines. We are now turning into regulars! Every visit has amazing servers. Special mention to Anurad who even remembered my order from the first time we visited and Alex who was a dynamo. He took orders, served food, and managed the floor with ease, all while maintaining a warm, friendly demeanor. His attentiveness and knowledge of the menu were impressive. Despite the restaurant's bustle, he remained calm and composed. *Verdict:* This South Indian restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic, delicious cuisine. The exceptional customer service and the interior decor elevates the dining experience to new heights. *Recommendation:* Visit during off-peak hours to avoid the crowds. I highly recommend the paper or masala dosa! *Will I Return?:* Absolutely, and with great enthusiasm!

Delicious south asian Chennai style food, Praveen was very welcoming and explained the thali variety. The Madras style coffee and rasam were excellent. We will visit again.

A delightful South Indian journey on a plate! We tried the masala idli, crispy medu vada, and a range of dosas—each bite was a burst of flavor and tradition. The idlis were soft and spiced just right, the vadas had that perfect crunch, and the dosas were crispy, golden, and soul-satisfying. A must-visit spot for anyone craving a true taste of the South!
