Review about India House Restaurant, Meena Bazaar from Gehani Priya

South Indian thali, Vada and idli, coconut chutney Chole Bature not good, handsoap not available
India House is a South Indian restaurant which is located in Bur Dubai, Meena Bazaar. It is not very crowded on normal days, but on weekends the place gets packed. The ambiance of the restaurant is fine. The interiors is not very eye catchy but simple. Staff is friendly but the service is very slow. We usually dine downstairs and the food is prepared on the first floor. It’s only when the waiters carry such heavy trays and go upstairs you realize the efforts people put in to feed their families back in their home country. Hats off to their hard work! The food that we prefer having the most is Mysore Masala Dosa, Onion Tomato Cheese Uttapam, Idli and Vada all of which is served with coconut chutney and Sambhar. We also like the South Indian thali, it is very delicious. It includes the Rasam, Rice, Puri, Sweet, 3 vegetable dishes and Curd. We also like the pizza, sweet corn soup, sizzlers and fruit salad. I really didn’t like their channa batura, felt pukish after having that! The hand station for guest does not have any handsoap or tissues and it is generally not clean. They also give a home delivery but you have to wait for long time for food to arrive. The packaging of the food is done in disposable plastic containers and foil paper. Food is usually received in an appropriate condition. I have heard a lot of friends telling that this restaurant has amazing Pav Bhaji, tomato rice, veg kadai and butter roti. But I haven’t tried it yet! There is also a monthly mess which bachelors are quite fond of and includes options like breakfast, limited and full. Overall I would recommend this place to whoever is looking for affordable South Indian food. The quality and quantity is good.
