" I am quite disappointed with my experience at Amma's. The food quality was not up to par; the idlis were cold and the chutney was not fresh. Service can improve significantly. I felt like we were ignored for a long time. Hopefully, this was just a one-time occurrence as I have heard good things. " (*Curated Review*)

" My meal at Amma's was delightful! The variety of vegetarian options made it even more appealing to me. The service was a bit slow but worth the wait as everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Looking forward to trying more dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't too impressed with my visit. The service was good, but the food was lacking in authenticity. The dosas I had were not what I was expecting, and the ambiance was a bit too casual for my taste. I might not return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wasn't impressed with the dinner I had here. Even though the ambiance was nice, the garlic naan I ordered was undercooked. I wish I had stuck to the South Indian options, as I overheard others loving their dosas. Service was decent but the food could definitely be improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming little restaurant in the heart of the city! The ambiance drew me in, and the food sealed the deal. I highly recommend the dosa sampler. The service was personal and attentive, making for a lovely dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here on a Saturday evening. The wait time was a bit longer than expected. However, it was worth it once the food arrived. The masala dosa was perfectly made and full of flavor. Overall, a pleasant experience despite the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amma's is a must-visit gem! I've eaten here multiple times, and every time has been a delight. The vegetable kothu parotta is hands down my favorite! The service has always been attentive and cordial, making the experience feel special. " (*Curated Review*)
