What south indian should be....
I've read the reviews knocking this establishment down pretty awful.
The fact that it is in a posh location doesn't mean that the decor should resemble a 5-star place. If you notice, this was a house earlier that has been converted to a restaurant.
I've been here thrice, all for the lunch buffet. The food seemed authentic enough for my grandma (kerala descent), wife (true blue malnad) and in laws to praise lavishly. Of course, if you are used to your traditional anna-sambar, you may want to look elsewhere and not bother with this place.
The subtleties in the taste are truly worth a visit. At around 270 for the lunch buffet, it is worth every paisa.

Bon South - Koramangala
The husband and I were eagerly awaiting the non-vegetarian offerings from South Indies. That it is walking distance from our place was a huge bonus!
We had dinner there yesterday. The appalam basket with the three different chutneys (coconut, coriander and tomato) was to our liking. We ordered a prawn soup and a mangalorean chicken starter. Both the soup and starter were very good. For the main course we ordered karimeen polichattu and a crab curry (tamil nadu section) along with an appam stuffed with crabmeat. The karimeen was a little smelly but the crab was really tender, juicy and tasty. It was a little too spicy for me. The service was excellent. They noticed the frequency with which I was downing water to beat the spice and offered to replace the gravy with a milder one :)
We ended our meal with Elaneer Payasam which was absolutely heavenly. It was sweet coconut milk with pieces of coconut malai! At the door we were gifted with our first ever plant. All in all, a very nice experience. It also happened to be our most expensive bill as yet. It came to about Rs 2,000 for the two of us. The menu could do with some expansion. The menu offers one chicken, mutton, prawn and fish preparation from each state.

Good food, great ambiance
If I want to have a nice evening out, a fine dining experience, and am in mood for good authentic South Indian food, but not go looking for the exorbitance of the 5 stars, then South Indies is the only option that comes to mind.
Their dosas are not seeped in cheap oil. The Kal-dosas are light and fluffy. Their appams are good. And their menu even includes Bisibelebath and curd rice.
I love the innovative way in which they serve their rasams and soups. The afternoon buffets are hard not to over eat at. The staff has always been very courteous and I have been left satisfied on every visit.
The only issue is that the approach to the place is now an issue due to the metro construction. And their valet might take a long time to retrieve your car due to the understandable chaos caused by the metro construction - hardly their fault!
Yes the place is expensive. If you are looking to get dosas at the price at a Darshini, then this is not the place for you. Its NOT a Darshini. Its a fine dining experience serving good authentic South Indian food. It will cost you what a fine dining experience will cost you.

Too much of funda.
I have never gone after my first visit a year back. I don’t see any reason for the cost. I didn't find the taste to be anywhere proportional to the BIG price they charge.

Overpriced average quality food.
I won't recommend this place or visit again. It just didn't seem worth paying for "THAT" quality at "THATTTTTT" price.
Your call!
