I am little late with this piece of review. Name may come as a simple joint serving South Indian food. Distinguishing fact is it being a Chef run one. And yes, it is pretty evident from the decor, the intricacies in the menu and of course the food, once it is served.
As you enter, it is a dim lit set-up, with beautiful pictures of chef and dishes all around. Part of the brick wall embellished with chef's message all go in setting the expectations right. When you flip through the menu, it amazes you a lot, as every alternate page is spared to explain you what is differentiating about the cuisine of every state which together comprise South India. Reading some makes you glad as you happen to already know them, while some excite you as you want to discover those facts yourself in your own food journey.
When it came to ordering food, awesome, idiapams, apams served with all authenticity intact in brass cutlery tempt you enough. But to have most of it in a royal way, all in your plate I went for Andhra meal. In no time, the entire table was filled. Huge plate with bowls of all regular Andhra vehetarian dishes, ensemble of 3-4 powders, 3-4 pickles and lat but not the least, rasam and sambhar severd in separate buckets. Since you start with Puri, rice will make its way only in the later part of the meal. Everything seems known. But you have to have it all by yourself to believe how each item tasted exactly how it ought to. And that can definitely come, if a Chef's eye is on each execution.
Having said this, the place has a lot more, if you wish to explore South India sitting at one place. I am going to visit soon again.
