	            	            This is a review aimed at people discovering Indian food and finding some of the small places 

This place was my first taste of Masala Dosa and idlis in Abu Dhabi- the staple breakfast dishes of south India 4 years ago. The place continues to be the bar of fresh, well cooked and excellent southie breakfast food for me. Note that the breakfast items are served all day. 

It is a tiny, usually catering to the many bachelors that come here to eat home food, but there is a small alcove to the right of the door as you enter where "families" ( code for couples, girls/children) may be seated. The staff are politely welcoming and if they usher you into said alcove with haste, its only their ways of making you feel welcome and protecting you from the stares of the clientele who are may not understand why anyone else other than Indians want to eat home food! Its is also the only place where more than four people at a table can fit. Service is prompt and unfussy. 

The Menu ( placed under the glass top table so you don't even need to hold it) is pretty diverse, offering vegetarian dishes from all over India, with a particular focus on South Indian items. There are daily specials up on the chalk board that can give you a taste of an Indian favourite that will may not be featured on a regular Indian Restaurant menu - being mostly a regional meal that is traditionally home cooked. 

The masala dosas are tasty, crisp lentil and rice crepes, stuffed with potatoes sauteed with chillies, curry leaves, green chillies and turmeric. My favourite is the plain dosa, a huge crepe and the the onion uttapam, a thick rice flour pancake with coriander, mustard seeds, green clillies and crisp onions. The dishes are always served with a lentil and vegetable curry- sambhar and and coconut chutney, which is always smooth, delicately flavoured and sublimely fresh. 

The "thali" a plate of rice and/or flat bread (chapatti), with an accompaniment of about 6-7 vegetarian dishes is also excellent. I love the rasam- a tangy tomato and pepper broth- fiery with a tang of tamarind. The thali is served at lunch only and will be refilled as much as you can eat.

At around 5-6 pm they serve "chaat", Indian street food from north India. Small steel plates piled with crisp besan discs, on which are piled potatoes, chickpeas, chillies, coriander, tamarind sauce for tang, smooth yogurt to offset the chilly- its a flavour explosion.

The absolutely best reason to go this "hole in the wall" is the coffee. Ask of the bru coffee - strong, intensely flavoured with as only Indian coffee can be. Ask for no sugar if you don't want it.  It will make you understand why the south Indians continue to be coffee addicts- never having jumped on the bandwagon of British introduced tea to the subcontinent.

	            	            Decent Indian food for little more than Dhs8 a dish. At Dhs10, the full thali, which includes curd, soup, bread and vada (a fried lentil patty), is a great deal.	            ]]></description>
