Minus point

The last word

“The city veggies are a harassed lot, since there are hardly any eateries that serve authentic vegetarian dishes having great taste. Thankfully, after Sagar Ratna, veggies have a good place to go and enjoy good food,” said Parimita Choudhury, enjoying onion masala dosa, one of the most popular dishes of the eatery.
