Three generations

  1. 1978

    One counter

    Six stools and a grinding stone, opposite the bus stand.

  2. 1994

    The room upstairs

    Forty covers, and the first time we had a menu printed.

  3. 2011

    The second kitchen

    So the dosai griddle never has to stop.

  4. 2024

    Still the same stone

    It grinds the batter every night. We have tried the machines.

A table, or the room upstairs

Twelve to forty covers, and we will cook whatever you like if you ask a week ahead.
