Our take: Mamaa Payaa Banana Leaf Restaurant offers a range of South Indian dishes at competitive prices, especially for breakfast items like idli, which are noted to be cheaper and more flavourful than nearby competitors.
We think their fish curry is a highlight, described as 'full of flavor,' and they offer unique items like Kamban Koozhu and Appam, which is hard to find in the West area.
The Upma and Vadai are also recommended for a satisfying breakfast under $5.
While the chicken thali set might be less extensive than pictured, the mutton briyani is praised for its generous portion and tender meat.
However, we note consistent feedback regarding cleanliness, with some patrons reporting 'nasty' tables even during off-peak hours.
There are also mentions of service issues, such as forgotten orders.
We'd recommend Mamaa Payaa for those seeking affordable and authentic South Indian breakfast options and unique regional dishes.
Be prepared for potential cleanliness issues and consider visiting during non-peak hours for a better experience.
The $3 idli set and the $8 chicken thali are good entry points.
