Fantastic, casual fare for a King - Edit
A cozy spot, filled with locals, many ordering the large dosa platters. Serving sizes here looked very ample, but despite this, I was too tempted to resist the All-you-can-eat Northern King Thali, which consisted of mushroom stew, veggie curries, lentils, breads, rice, and few others I unfortunately could not name but were delicious. There are three thali specials, there is one less spicy for those inclined, and the southern special which is a little smaller. Seeing that this was an all veg restaurant, and I could eat with gusto without any meaty concern, I asked for the King special. Delicious and a good amount of food, I ended up not needing to request more
Read moreThe amount of spices were perfect, just enough of a kick to get the sweat going but not overwhelming. The dish had wonderful flavors and was very satisfying. The dosa (ordered separately) was very good.
My only tiny objection was the copper water cups. Sounds silly but the taste really gets in the water and gives off the odd metallic flavor.
For those who like the thali style of buffet, and perhaps want something more casual (and a little less expensive) than Radjani further down the street, this is a great meal. Just be careful not to go into the adjacent restaurant Bhimas Non-Veg. Both are clearly labeled on their windowfronts.
*As if 2022 not sure if the non-veg is even open anymore. More seating outside has been added and thumbs up on the weekend menu. Delicious!

BTW if you go next door to the non-veg restaurant it is also very good and veg friendly! The weekend buffet has a large variety and even though it is the omnivore sister restaurant, by nature of being indian there were many delicious veg dishes to eat. If you're with omni company don't worry about eating here. The veg biryani comes with the buffet, the delightfully spicy saag has potato chunks, and the lentil dishes and pakoras are all veg. The egg curry is all veg just minus the large hard boiled eggs which are easily avoided should you want to. Very delicious, great variety buffet.

Incredible flavors, kind staff, HUGE quantities - Edit
Amazing vegetarian South Indian restaurant with a mind-blowing Thali dinner comprised of 10 or so dishes served on a metal plate. If you favor one of the dishes in particular, they bring you more. So it's essentially a buffet but with waiter service. Most dishes are vegan; all are super-flavorful and distinct. Friendly and charming staff. Great new outdoor seating area. My favorite Indian restaurant in Artesia, a town which boasts dozens.
