  1. North indian thali meals Net +6
    “Yesterday also I visited there with my family and enjoyed their North Indian thali meals. The food was fresh , flavorful, and beautifully served. Every dish was perfect!!”
  2. Vada Net +4
    “So I'm a well wisher and the main reason Ive visited this place so often is the delicious vada. But over a week or two the vada seems to have changed in recipe and taste and that to me is a disappointment, so will the management please look into it and rectify the problem immediately. I don’t know if it’s a new cook or a change in strategy but it’s not working, so please go back to whatever recipe made the vada at your restaurant so special. Thanks I see the problem has now been resolved and the Vada’s are amazing again so thanks a lot for sorting this issue. This is been fir about a week now. Regards”
  3. Idli Net +3
    “My family and I have been eating breakfast at Sangeetha Restaurant, Discovery Gardens, every Monday for over a year. Delicious fresh dosas, idlis, wadas and so much more. Fantastic filter coffee too. All the staff are good but Dinesh is absolutely wonderful - attentive, professional very well informed and knows his customers well. I highly recommend this restaurant and also dealing with Dinesh - a wholesome, simple but yummy experience.”

Honorable mentions (13)
  1. Sambar Net +1
    “Their dosas, sambhar, and filter coffee were absolutely amazing.”
  2. Bindi palak Net +1
    “What I loved about this place is the friendliness of the staff & management, they are very welcoming and showed understanding & patience for my lack of knowledge of the varity of dishes and also showed flexibility in adapting some of the dishes to my dietary requirements e.g. I asked for Bindi Palak (Okra and Spinach) and they prepared it to perfection.”
  3. Masala dosa set Net +1
    “We ordered one North Indian Thali and one Masala Dosa set. The Masala Dosa arrived first, but the thali was delayed for a very long time. We repeatedly requested the side dishes and tried getting the staff’s attention at least 10–15 times by showing our hands, but nobody responded or attended to us. To make things worse, the lassi that arrived was too salty. When we informed the waiter, instead of apologizing, he casually said it was meant for somebody else. No apology, no concern, just a careless explanation. We also noticed another customer sitting near us leave the restaurant because nobody was attending to them either. The food quality was actually good, but the service was extremely poor and disappointing. This is definitely not the level of hospitality I expected from Sangeetha Restaurant.”

1

Avoid Rush. Visit outside weekend and peak dinner periods; reviews mention queues, crowded seating and waits of 15–30 minutes.

2

Share Thali. Consider sharing a North Indian Thali if you have a moderate appetite; one reviewer found it heavy enough for two.

The Bottom Line

Sangeetha Vegetarian Restaurant in Discovery Gardens is a South Indian vegetarian dining spot where dosa, vada, idli, filter coffee and mini tiffin are the main draw. The menu is broader than breakfast staples: reviews also praise the North Indian Thali, vegetable biryani, chaat and even Chinese dishes. The strongest feedback is around authentic flavours and specific favourites.

Vada has been described as soft inside and crisp outside, while the filter coffee and Rava dosa have their own loyal following. The North Indian Thali is generous enough for two people with moderate appetites, and it includes a sweet dish according to one review. Families also mention clean, comfortable surroundings and a menu that works for children and mixed preferences.

There are practical caveats. Weekend and dinner crowds can mean queues or a 15–30 minute wait, and parking may take patience. Service is not always consistent: reviews describe delayed dishes, poor attention during busy periods and a delivery order that was unexpectedly unavailable on weekends.

Some diners also found prices high for the portion size. If you have dietary requirements, confirm them carefully, and note that one review reported no wheelchair-accessible entrance.
