About

Kootenay Tamil Kitchen is a polarizing spot in Nelson. Fans rave about the authentic South Indian flavors, specifically the dosas and kothu parotta, calling it a total treat. However, a significant number of diners report inconsistent quality, citing issues with freshness and long wait times. While the staff is often praised for being warm, some guests have had poor experiences with service speed and food temperature. It seems to be a hit-or-miss experience depending on the day.
