“I have been visiting Balaji Bhavan since my college days, and it continues to be one of my favorite places for authentic South Indian food.”
“The best thing about this place, for me, is that the food is served in plantain leaves. I had idli and vada. Since I know exactly what their chutneys taste like, I chose to skip the red and white varities. I like the green chutney here.”
“Shri Balaajee Bhavan is well-regarded for its tasty South Indian food, especially in the evening. Many reviewers praise the quality and deliciousness of dishes like Pongal, Vada, Sada Dosa, and Masala Dosa.”
