Reliable, cheap South Indian food
This is what Indian restaurants used to be, before they got aspirations to greater things: reliable, cheap, unfussy, albeit a bit drab.
Let's be clear: this isn't great Indian food. But let's also be clear: sometimes you just want a decent, tasty meal without the fuss. And if in such a mood you happen to want Indian then this would be a good choice.
Also of note is that they serve South Indian food, in addition to the usual things you would expect. South Indian food uses a different set of spices and configurations (try the dosa, a thin rice and lentil crepe, eaten with sambar, a spicy lentil soup with vegetables).
