" My family and I decided to check out Mehrab Restaurant based on its great reviews. We were not disappointed! We ordered a mix of dishes including biryani, dosa, and idli, and each one surpassed our expectations. The dosa was fluffy yet crispy, and the biryani was fragrant and loaded with flavor. The portions were generous for the price, making it a great value for our meal. While the service was friendly, we did experience a slight delay in service which is why I rated it a 4 instead of a 5. Still, we would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hands down, the best dosa I’ve ever tasted outside of India! The flavors were authentic and the portions were reasonable. The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere that makes it perfect for families or casual outings. Will definitely be returning; this place is a true find! Highly recommend the chai as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dining experience at Mehrab Restaurant. The menu offered a wide variety of South Indian dishes and every meal we ordered was satisfying and tasty. The service was friendly; our server frequently checked on us. However, I felt the environment could be improved, a bit cluttered. Overall, it’s a hidden gem worth visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mehrab Restaurant after hearing great things. We got a various array of dishes to share. The vada was crispy on the outside but soft inside, just how I like it. The dosa was good but I felt it could use a bit more seasoning. The service was attentive and friendly, which really made the experience enjoyable! They even offered us complimentary tea, which was a nice touch. The atmosphere felt cozy but it really did need some better cleaning. Overall, I would recommend this for anyone looking for decent South Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" The other day I tried the dosa at Mehrab Restaurant and it was fantastic! It brought back memories of my last trip to India. The spices were just right, and the chutneys accompanying it were delicious. Their tea was a great accompaniment as well. I was also impressed with the service — they were very attentive without being intrusive. I’ll certainly be coming back to try more dishes soon! A very pleasant experience overall.

" I came to Mehrab Restaurant after a long day and was blown away by the authentic flavors. The dosa was delightful—crispy and packed with spices. Each chutney added a different layer of flavor that I truly enjoyed. Our server was helpful and made great recommendations. The restaurant itself had a friendly vibe, which made for a relaxing dinner. I would highly recommend anyone who enjoys South Indian food to visit here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Very disappointed with my last visit to Mehrab Restaurant. While the service was friendly, I was surprised by the lack of cleanliness. My table was sticky and the floors could have used a good sweeping. I ordered the thali and I found the portion sizes to be quite small compared to what I've had in the past. The dishes themselves were mediocre at best, with the dosa being overly greasy. I hope they can improve their standards as I've had better experiences before. For now, I won’t be in a hurry to come back. " (*Curated Review*)
