" I'm feeling mixed about this place. On one hand, the service was friendly and the ambiance was pleasant. On the other hand, my meal lacked flavor, especially the biryani which tasted bland. I might give them another try but may stick to the classic South Indian dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Amma's, and I was thoroughly impressed! The dosas were crispy and the sambar was on point. The thali was a fabulous way to try multiple dishes at once. The servers were attentive, checked in often, and genuinely cared about our experience. I will surely be coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I heard great things about Amma's, my visit didn't live up to expectations. I ordered the vegetable biryani and it was more like a pulav than a proper biryani. The flavors were lacking and the service was a bit slower than I had hoped. I might give it another try as they have many items on the menu I want to explore. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Amma's! The warm hospitality from the staff added to the delicious food. I ordered the breakfast combo and it was delightful, especially the spicy chutneys! I will definitely visit again for more of their incredible dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Amma's was simply stunning! I had the Mysore masala dosa and it was easily the best I've ever had. The portion sizes were just right and the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. We will definitely be back! " (*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*)
