The word on HASHTAG INDIA
Here's the word going around
I haven't been first in line for that 10am dosa yet, so this is the diners' read, not mine.

By most accounts the Nallakaram Gobi stops people cold, aptly spiced and light enough to keep reaching for without grease guilt, and the Hashtag Special Biryani is the regular order for good reason. Reviewers prize that this is one of the rare spots that opens at 10 and actually does breakfast, with early-morning dosa and medhu vada and chutneys that punch above their weight. Clean room, decent staff, fair market prices.
The Mixed Grill Platter with chicken brings real spice for those who want it to mean something. It isn't flawless: a biryani once landed before the starter, a small service hiccup, and the mutton Mandi came over-salted with rice people wished there was more of. But the rice and mutton plate separately, the flavors read honest, and the kitchen clearly cares.
An Indian kitchen that actually does morning dosa? I'll happily be first in line.
The Order
Reviewers point to the Hashtag Special Biryani and the Nallakaram Gobi, plus dosa if you catch the morning.
⚠ Gotcha
The mutton Mandi runs heavy on salt, by a few accounts. Ask them to ease up if you're sensitive.
That's the word on this one.
