aalappeaz

You're walking past the Cathedral Quarter when you spot aalappeaz tucked away on St Peter's Churchyard—it's not trying to shout about itself, which is refreshing. Inside, it's warm and unpretentious, the kind of place where regulars know their usual order and the kitchen actually cares. This is South Indian done right: crispy dosas with sambar that tastes like someone's grandmother is back there, idlis that aren't cardboard, and curries that won't insult your intelligence with excessive cream. The 4.7-star rating isn't luck—it's consistency. Whether you're after lunch or dinner, you're getting genuinely good food that respects its origins.
