The ambience at this smart, South Indian eatery is enhanced with mellow music and smiling staff. Dishes include an outstanding beef and green banana curry, but if you're coming for lunch on Friday, don't miss the sadiya, a south Indian thali (spread of dishes) served on a banana leaf, for the princely sum of BD1.5.
