I’m a fan of this franchise and I think they’re doing great work serving healthy vegetarian food across the bay.
While I’m a proud patron, I’ve seen the quality of this facility go down over these past months (doesn’t come close in quality to ones I’ve visited in Sunnyvale and Pleasanton). Examples include unclean table surfaces, the overflowing trash bin, and an unkept bathroom. Small things like this make a big difference.
These are very easily fixable....read full review

Absolutely delicious sambar and well made idly and vadas! As good as you'd get in India and i have been there numerous times.
People are extremely nice as well with a calm and spice smelling aroma inside.
That sambar... was divine.

Awesome staff. Great food. Benne dosa, aviyal, weekday specials, mini idlis all are great. But filter coffee is awesome, I frequently come here just for the coffee.

Idly Express is a restaurant serving authentic, flavorful South Indian vegetarian food. The Sambar dipped mini Idly is a favorite, and the sambar is described as divine. The idly and vadas are well made, and the Benne dosa, aviyal, weekday specials, mini idlis, and filter coffee are all great. The filter coffee is especially awesome, with some coming just for the coffee. The food is fresh, the sides are generous, and the service is quick, swift, and friendly, with staff described as extremely nice, awesome, and accommodating. The aroma inside is calm and spice smelling. One reviewer notes the food is as good as you would get in India. A DoorDash order of the combo idly, Vada pongal was good, though one reviewer wished just Vada was offered since the rest of the combo went to waste. Some mention the facility's quality has gone down over past months, with unclean table surfaces, an overflowing trash bin, and an unkept bathroom, though these are seen as easily fixable.
