I don't know why this place doesn't pop up when you search "Corpus" and "Indian Food" but it should! It's the best Indian restaurant around and it's been here for ages. It's attached to a gas station, so look out for it, it's pretty low key. The dishes are all authentic, fresh, and delicious. The garlic naan is the best I've ever had.

Very very delicious! Always amazing and just the perfect amount of spice! The service is quick and easy! And the ambiance is humble and cozy!

The best Indian food in Corpus Christi. Love the food and family who run it! They remember you and you're always treated like a friend.

Great food. Authentic south Indian. Rava dosa and vada were top class. They can do some improvements on ambience. Shop owners were super nice. Totally worth a visit if you are craving for south Indian food

I haven't had this quality of food since Hyderabad. This place is a rare find for very authentic Southern Indian food. It is my go to place in Corpus Christi.

December 2021 This place is your typical hole in a wall restaurant. It's right next to the gas station/ convenience store, has limited seating and not too fancy on decor. As all the reviews state, this place has more of a homely feel than your typical flash of a restaurant. Let's start with the experience - 1. Tables are first come first serve and are wiped down after use. 2. You have to order and pay at the front and grab your food to your table. 3. The food is decently priced and there's cutlery placed besides the ordering booth. 4. There's one restroom for both men and women and it's kept clean. Talking about the food, I had a party of 5 and we all ordered Mysore Masala Dosas, I know, we should've ordered a variety of dishes to explore, but it was that kinda day where we all fancied to eat a dosa. The dosa comes with 3 different variety of chutneys and a sambhar. If you want my honest opinion, the dosa was good but not extraordinary. The dosa was very similar to a Masala dosa. It lacked a different flavor that we expected this dosa to have, especially being a Mysore Masala. The chutney and the sambhar was fantastic, no complaints there, but the Dosa itself left us wanting more. Overall, a decent place to grab a meal, is light on your wallet and the food is tasty. If you're a fan of the ambiance that a restaurant has to offer, you wouldn't enjoy this place. If you're expecting a good waiter service, this isn't a place for you either since it's self serve. This place has to be judged purely based on the quality and the taste of the food.
