If you love tiffin, coffee, feel a good during experience, this restaurant us recommended. I love the crowd happily waiting to enjoy the food. I liked the waiting system which let's the customer ve prepared and plan the visit after reserving online. I enjoy the small snacks given to all the customers. We go for rata Cafe sambar idly which is priced $6 . The taste is so authentic when you have it hot. We do like the tip combo. Kesari will be mouth watering. My toddler son loves it. He keeps asking some more please:) Last but not the least is the way customers are attended makes me visual the place often. Chutney, sambar are again offered to tables which i haven't seen in any restaurants.
The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. The staff regularly came by to offer extra sambar and chutney and even gave us complementary samples to try different dishes. The filter coffee was hands down the best I’ve ever had. They make it live, the person making it was very attentive- asked about sugar vs jaggery and adjusted the strength perfectly. We tried the ghee podi thatte idly, ghee mini podi idly, sambar idly dipped, chinna vengaya sambar sadham, benne masala dosa, and medhu vadai — everything was excellent. The sugarcane juice was delicious as well. Highly recommend!
Some of the items here are insanely tasty! I loved the medu vada, although the Mylapore special dosa did not impress my taste buds. Service was great, seating is adequate and parking is right next to the place. Good to have a quick snack.
Had to get in the waitlist, which took about 40 minutes. We just walked around the mall in the mean time. The atmosphere was lively and bustling with pretty cultural music playing the background. There were what seemed like an endless amount of samples being offered to people waiting, with generous portion sizes! My boyfriend and I had no idea what to order so we got recommendations up at the cash register. Out of the three dishes we got, all were good but I really loved the two dishes pictures, melt in your mouth,savory, and really hit the spot. I know they are related somehow to Idly Express in Mountain View, where we had a similarly delicious experience. Will definitely be coming back!
Loved the food! Definitely the best South Indian food I’ve had in the Bay Area. I’ll absolutely be returning. The staff is super friendly and warm. Even though there was a long waitlist, they kept serving complimentary upma while we waited, which was such a nice touch :) I really loved the vibe of the place. We ordered the ghee podi dosa, medu vada, filter coffee, and mini idlis. Everything was great except the mini idlis, which were just okay compared to the rest. Overall, totally worth the wait!
