  I ordered the thali as this place is close to office. Thali was good specially the chicken. Everything felt freshly made. Downside was the parking, there should've been free few spots for the retail. I will surely visit again.

  First things first, there is a parking fee. It’s $1.50 for one hour, so keep that in mind before heading in. Visited this restaurant for their weekend thali and had a decent experience. The weekend thali works on a reservation basis you can call ahead or drop in a few minutes before the hour to put your name down if it’s not already full(wont advice if you're paying for 1 hr parking).Each serving is for one hour, from 11 AM to 4 PM, with fresh servings every hour. The food is served on a banana leaf, which felt nice after a long time. The biryani and mutton were quite good while the other items were enjoyable. The porotta unfortunately didn’t live up to expectations. Price-wise, it’s definitely on the higher side $83 for three meals feels steep. If you love Tamil cuisine and eat a lot, it might be worth it, but casual diners might find it pricey for what you get.

  We went for their all you can eat thali on Saturday. Food was great especially their fish fry which we all enjoyed a lot! Their mutton curry was also tasty and spicy- delicious with rice or parotta. Among the vegetarian dishes, I liked their Daal-Palak a lot; didn’t get a chance to taste their sambhar or rasam unfortunately. May be because we arrived at 11 in the morning they couldn’t serve us all the dishes in their correct order. Like Pappadam was served at the very end with paisam when other parties came for their food later and the owners perhaps then remembered it. Same with butter milk, sambhar and rasam which should have been offered towards the beginning. I would’ve enjoyed if they had given a list or mentioned what all is to come so we could anticipate. Recommend to go after 12:30ish. Thanks so much for the delicious food nonetheless!

  I recently tried Amma’s Kitchen and ordered their Mutton & Chicken 65 Lunch Combo, and I must say, it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on—authentic, rich, and perfectly balanced. The mutton was cooked to perfection: tender, juicy, and full of flavor, while the chicken 65 had that perfect crispiness on the outside with juicy, flavorful meat inside. Every bite tasted homemade, just like something prepared with love in a family kitchen. The portion size was generous and satisfying, and the meal felt wholesome without being overly heavy. What I really loved was the attention to detail in the spices—it wasn’t just spicy for the sake of it, but layered with real depth of flavor. On top of the food, the service was warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. You can truly feel the passion and care put into every dish. If you’re craving authentic, tasty meals that remind you of home-cooked food, I highly recommend Amma’s Kitchen. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

  I visited this restaurant planning to have a simple breakfast, but the menu was so tempting that it effortlessly turned into a delightful brunch. The dishes were hearty, well-balanced, and full of flavor, making the experience both comforting and satisfying. The portions were generous and the filling was inviting. It’s the kind of place where you come for one meal and happily stay longer than expected. Definitely a great spot for a relaxed and fulfilling brunch. But only one issue, paid parking. Overall, it’s worth a visit.
