The food was very tasty. Unfortunately the light was very dim and we used the light I. Our phones to read the menu. There was no declaration of allergens and it was difficult to find out what was gluten free or not.

I love Lungi! The food was fantastic. My favorites were the egg hopper and the Nandu Chaaru, which is a cilantro/crab soup. The tables are quite close together and last night, we had a great conversation with people next to us, including a man visiting from Australia. We even shared food! I will come again.
