" I had high expectations for my visit to Semma after hearing so much about it. The food was good, but I found some dishes lacking in authenticity. The gunpowder dosa was excellent, but I was disappointed with the biryani - it wasn't very flavorful. The ambiance was nice, though rather loud, and the service was attentive. Overall, a decent experience but not extraordinary. " (*Curated Review*)

" I understand why Semma is a Michelin Star restaurant! The food was outstanding, especially the dosa. The atmosphere was lively, but it did get a bit noisy as the crowd grew. Service was prompt but could be a bit more attentive. Overall, an excellent experience and definitely worth the wait for a reservation! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an incredible birthday dinner at Semma! The service was impeccable, and the staff made sure to make the night special with a complimentary dessert. The flavors of the food are deeply rooted in tradition, making each bite special. I particularly loved the Goanese oxtail which was melt-in-your-mouth perfection! The ambiance was perfect for a celebration. Will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Semma was a delightful culinary journey! We savored the varied menu that featured stunning South Indian dishes. The lobster tail was memorable, and the gunpowder dosa was divine! The service was friendly, and the staff offered helpful recommendations. However, I did feel that the prices were a bit high for the serving sizes. Yet, I would recommend Semma to any food lover!
