The place has the ambience of a normal fast food joint. They've lots of gas heaters outside, which makes it a nice hangout place.
The food is really good. All dishes (including meats) are prepared in South Indian style. What this means for you is that you must not go in expecting chicken curry to taste like Mughlai chicken curry. It will taste more like sambhar! All the meat dishes are hot. They also serve indo-chinese food. The malabar parantha is good too.
They have a newbranch opened in Fremont, close to Coconut Hill, the Indian grocery. The food is extremely good, and the place is very crowded despite being very spacious. If you like Kerala-style cooking, its definitely worth checking out.
The price is inexpensive. They offer 3, 4 5 item combo's at reasonable prices and the quantity is decent. I usually buy one 5 item combo for take out and its usually enough for me and my husband along with some home made bread.
The noise and crowd levels are high. Not a place for a calm sit-down dinner or a date.
Overall a nice, inexpensive place.
