Amazing meal at Ammas, the staff were friendly and professional. They were very knowledgeable about the menu and the food was AMAZING!! We definitely over ordered but it was worth it, we will definitely be back. Our only suggestion is that the lighting should be dimmable to give a cosier feel on the dark evenings, other than that we had a brilliant time!!

the dosa (masalla) starter was generous and tasy and notbtoo hot (really a main)l the sea bass was too hot for me -i have a delicate stomach and it said with mild spices-however staff (and owner) were very solicitous and mad e it less spicy with yoghurt and gave me a dish to add further yoghurt if i wished. they werre very friendly and interested in us (my son and i) and gave us an extra dessert due toi the spicyness of my dish.we both had the plantain dessert which was delicious.my son's starter was falafel and coleslow and a fried breaded chicken dish and a lamb main all of which he enjoyed. price in total was £72 including tip perhaps a little pricey but also affected obviously by the number of dishes we had.son had a coke.

I've been here quite a few times with my family now. The food is consistently excellent , service is friendly but not intrusive. Would always recommend this place for anyone who likes authentic South Indian food.

Given all the rave reviews I was expecting a wow factor but this did not happen . The staff were excellent and friendly , the starters were good and 3 were adequate, we had Dosa for main course and first impressions and presentation were good but I wasn’t impressed by the filling , I think I would go back but try something different for my main

Four of us had the absolute pleasure of experiencing this truly sensational South Indian dining experience last night. As soon as we walked into the restaurant we were given a warm welcome by the lovely waiter. He asked us if we had been before and having told him we hadn't he proceeded to explain the menu to us. The selection on offer looked so mouthwatering. After some slight deliberation we decided on 5 of the dishes from the Street Cart - Porucha Vendaka (crispy stuffed Okra), Chicken 65 (my favourite), Madras Masala Mussels, Tamarind chicken wings and sautéed prawns in whole red chilli, crushed shallots and coconuts. We also had Chicken Thoran Dosa and Beef Dosa from the Dosa Griddle and Kari Kulambu Poratha (slowly cooked lamb) from the Pot. Lamb is my personal favourite as a choice of meat and this dish was right up there at the top with my experience of food tasted. So now for dessert. We plumbed for Golden Plantain and the Trio Dessert. All so scrum my. Now that I have got you drooling and wanting to sample this wonderful South Indian cuisine let me tell you about the fabulous service. From the lovely waiter to the really friendly owners Saju and Ganga we were treated like VIPs. We loved hearing Saju's childhood memories of eating squid as a child and how important family was to him. So much so that all of the dishes on the menu are cooked from scratch using only the freshest ingredients and with no unnecessary additions. The menu he would give to his young family knowing that it is the finest of food. It was great to hear that Saju had worked closely with the Timpsons family and knew The White Eagle in Rhoscolyn on Anglesey where I used to work many moons ago.

Love everything about Amos Canteen. The flavours of all the dishes I have had are just lovely. Staff are lovely and friendly and give advise on the dishes you have ordered.

Gem of a place to visit. The restaurant is cosy and chilled with excellent attentive service. The food is brilliant with plenty of options including vegetarian & Vegan. South Indian dishes are fresh, authentic, colourful and tasty, all cooked to a high standard with various amounts of spice. A really great place, highly recommended.
