Visiting this place since I was a toddler.
And The taste did not change still.
Their ONION MASALA DOSA is a must try.
You gonna love it.
It is by the side of the metro cinema(the one which is currently being modified) the lane which in common tongue known as camera goli , the hotel is good and the sitting arrangement is mediocre and is very much pocket friendly. One thing that it is not air conditioned. Was introduced by a dear friend of mine and I was not disappointed, a great place to have south Indian dishes, though the size of the dhosa are cut down a little after the introduction of the GST, but still one dhosa is enough for a man/woman. Pocket friendly must visit.. Especially of you are on esplanade for shopping on summer noon, you would definitely try to keep your cool by having a south Indian dish rather than opting for other fast food items.
Its a nice place to dine or have some quick bites.They offer good south indian food nd various other veg items. We had eaten masala dosa...dosa was crisp nd warm, the sambar was pretty good. We were the only customers when we entered...this place has less crowd. The ambience was ok...but not great. The service was fair.
Very good place to get south Indian food. Dahi vada, sambhar vada, dosas are really good. There is a mention of this place in a Feluda novel.
It is located just behind Metro cinema in Esplanade. Went their and tried the onion and plain masala dosa...the quality and quantity is very good and the pricing is also reasonable. It is better than dosas of some more fancy outlets. Ambience is normal.
After a long & weary afternoon of shopping, we finally decided to grab a quick bite but were unable to find a decent restaurant. All of a sudden, my dad remembered this place and was quite eager to take a trip down memory lane. Trust me, the lip-smacking Special Butter Masala Dosa was to die for! The hot dal and luscious sambar left me craving for more! I couldn't make out why my mom's dosa was a bit cold although ours turned out to be perfectly fresh and hot. While the staff was wonderful, I also enjoyed the peaceful ambiance of the place. If you love South Indian dishes, this place is a must go!
Just starting of metro gali...the south indian resturant is a gem of authenticity ... Their sitting place as usual south indian typed .. But the food just yummy... I continue to going in this place fr last 17 years.. But they still same.. Recomended masala spacial dhosa, rava dhosa.. And also south indian and north indian thali.. Pocket friendly .. And one thing their one staff namely rajkumar.. Great behave.. Overall after shopping.. You must go their.. Non ac but cool itself.. The coins and small notes which you are save from shopping..those you gave you a stomach filled south indian yummy food.
I come to know about this place from my parents. Situated in metro gali, esplaned.
Serves yummy south Indian food. My personal favourite Hyderabadi pulao.

'Unplanned' yet 'Organized' - Yes that's the folder name I gave when I collected all the photos of the day when I went to this restaurant back in 2013 with Jeet and Satish for the 1st time!!
I'll come to the review later. Took a DP inside the restaurant which then had the highest number of likes if compared to my other Profile Pictures. Image courtesy goes to Jeet.
BTW that DP is also very special.
Coming to the food, I toh loved it. I still remember it was a rainy day. Chiranjeet showed me this hidden place in a Galli/goli that is both of Us's favorite, Metro Gali. A place for photographers!! He He.
We enjoyed the whole day with random photography. Also watched a pathetic movie but had fun!!
I loved it so much that even after some Dhosha & Utthapam, Me and Satish again ordered for another Utthapam!!! Rest was all the struggle to finish it.
Hujug e pore order diye diyechilam. Asole roj bhaat daal alu posto khai toh tai 'For a Change' South Indian food oshombhob tasty lege giyechilo!!!
Shedin bujhechilam Chennai Bangalore e job kore khawa Kotto kosto.
Anyways went there today as well and remembering Nostalgia. Loved the Dosha. Cheese masala Dhosha. Loved the Utthapam (Thank God didn't ordered one more 'Hujug e Pore') and the veg pakora was so so.
It's South Indian food is actually better then the one near CiTi Mart at Esplanade. (Which is pretty close to this one)
Will visit here again. As time passes by weather their food taste has degraded or not, I'll say it's still the similar if compared between 2013 & 2016.
* Postscript - It was a very special day today as it was #TheMothersDay along with #PonchisheBoishaakh and Eden Gardens e IPL e KKR er match o chilo plus a Sunday.
Thanks.
It was an indian fast food restaurant which serves south indian and north indian cuisine. This place was average looking but clean all the time. Not much crowded. Good place to dine in. Ambitious and hospitality was good. Service was nice and also staff were decent and mannered. I liked the most their south indian cuisine they were tasty and true south indian taste. North indian cuisine was also good and close touch. Their side dishes was not good enough. Price was affordable. Must try place. Not the best but still good enough to visit one more time.

Good food... Don't try the North Indian dishes, these people are definitely more comfortable with South Indian fare. Prices have increased since I first went there with my father... Now I'm taking my son, but the tastes are nearly the same. Big portions... And no quibble with second helpings.
Great inexpensive clean rooms with room service facility. Clean eating place with great healthy food. Thank you for your cordial environment. The hotel manager and staff were very polite and inclined to their customer service duty.
One of the most loved place.. its a veg restaurant. I have been coming to this place from the past 15years. They dont have huge menu neither all the items in the menu will be available. Its totally vegetarian. Hyderabadi palou is must try even the paneer items are good. Staff behaviour is probably best then some of the top restaurant in the city. Its a must visit place with a friendly ambiance.
Good place for pure veg food in Esplanade area. Their South Indian thali and other items are best. You can also taste North Indian thali. All are economical. Thali meals cost Rs. 120-130. Better take sealed bottled water. Lassi is also a good alternative. People are polite and helpful. Only problem is that they have no air-conditioning.
Good rooms, facalaties and services available according to price range..
Clean and higine maintained carefully. Staff is also good.
One of the best restaurants near Chowringhee Road, Esplanade, Kolkata. Located in the busy market area. They serve good South Indian food. The restaurant is nicely maintained and the staff are very cooperative.
It is totally vegetarian restaurant. Many type of dosa idli South Indian thali North Indian thali is available here. Different type of dish dish are costly for people.Krishna Vilas special dosa is attractive for people. It is on splanet area and open 6 days.
Manager attitude is not good.
