Before you go

When to go

A morning start, around 9am, leaves space to eat slowly before lunch service. Confirm current kitchen times.

Budget and paying

Plan for two shared food orders and a coffee per person. Check whether the dosa order includes its accompaniments; no set-menu purchase is needed.

Self-guided. Timing is an editorial suggestion, not a measured journey. Check kitchen hours and access before going.
