Indian Tiffin Room

You'll find this place tucked into First Street's cluster of restaurants, where the focus is squarely on getting South Indian food right rather than fancy interiors. The dosas arrive at your table spanning the width of the plate, properly fermented and crispy-edged, filled with spiced potatoes that don't skimp on the mustard seeds and curry leaves. The menu reads like a love letter to Tamil and Kerala cooking – think fluffy idlis with coconut chutney that tastes like it was made this morning, and uttapams topped with fresh tomatoes and onions. The staff know their stuff and won't steer you wrong if you're new to South Indian food. It's the kind of place where regulars have their usual orders and you can taste why they keep coming back.
