" The food here is superb, but I have mixed feelings about the service. I went on a busy Saturday morning and had to wait quite a while for my dosa. While the food was worth the wait, I noticed that the staff seemed overwhelmed. An extra waiter might help during peak hours. The ambiance is casual, and there are lots of families dining, which feels welcoming. Overall, I would still recommend The Nilgiris for its authentic flavors! Just be prepared for potential wait times. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Nilgiris Restaurant offers a vibrant palette of South Indian flavors that transport you directly to India. The food is consistently good, but my recent experience highlighted how busy they get during peak hours. Despite that, I must give credit to the staff who managed to serve us without making us feel rushed. Just make sure to double-check your order because we faced a small mix-up. Overall, definitely worth the visit for authenticity! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a gem for anyone craving authentic South Indian food. I love the variety and how passionate the cooks are about maintaining traditional recipes. The Sambar is rich and flavorful, and even the depth of taste in the Chutneys caught me by surprise! However, the place can get crowded, especially on weekends, so plan your visit accordingly. The ambiance feels homey rather than upscale which is a plus for me when dining out. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot stress enough how great The Nilgiris is! The food is packed with authentic flavors, particularly the Vada and Sambar combo which I've never had better elsewhere! The service was satisfactory as well, considering how busy the restaurant tends to be. I also like how they manage to keep it a vegetarian-only menu. It appeals to a wider audience in my family. Overall, I give it top marks for food authenticity! " (*Curated Review*)

" Authenticity at its best! Every dish I tasted felt true to its origins. The Rasam Idli was heavenly, and they didn’t skimp on the spices, which I absolutely loved. While the atmosphere is nothing fancy, the food more than makes up for it. Just remember, it gets pretty full during the weekends, so prepare for a possible wait. Definitely will return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Nilgiris is a must-visit for anyone who loves South Indian food. I've always had a delightful experience, full of flavor and authenticity. The spices remind me of my childhood! Staff is polite, but can sometimes get flustered during peak hours. Still, it’s always worth the time to experience their delicious dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at The Nilgiris was fantastic overall. The food was delectable, especially the Chutneys paired with my Dosa. The vibe was laid-back yet lively as families filled the place. I did feel the server could have been a bit more attentive to our needs. Still, I would highly recommend the restaurant for anyone looking for traditional South Indian flavors. " (*Curated Review*)
