I stumbled into this place and the nice sever Subash said I would like the sampler first item on menu and boy is he right! It is almost too much food for one person! The flavors are a wonderful surprise after a long day of work! Mint, curry, buttery rice thing lol, an herb doughnut I dipped into the mint chutney. A surprise of desert surgery almost a pudding with raisins. All for a out $13. I highly recommend this place.The 3 atmosphere rating is because I wanted to sit down and there are no seats or tables. They must have changed to take out only.

This is a to go restaurant. They had a day or two old sambar and rasam packed in tubs and I was told that that’s the one they serve. I don’t think so! So no fresh food available. Their thali time has good 45 min but I was told they’re out.

I have tried mini tiffins and rasam. Tiffins were good. Vada, sambar, chutney idly all taste good.

We always enjoyed the food here. We get almost all types of south Indian breakfast items. We have tried the food multiple times here and quality always seem to be reliable. Most enjoyable part was the special item everyday which is also good. There is no dine-in option which I dont mind.

The place under the Mylapore umbrella is great. The quality of food and options are the same. The ambience is not the same as Pleasanton. The good news is that the place is less crowded compared to Pleasanton. Being not far from Pleasanton, this is a great alternative for those who want to avoid wait time for quality food.Vegetarian options: Great south Indian vegetarian food

Please consider enabling seating or standing tables for eating. It is very disappointing to not have any tables or chairs available. I am unsure who made the decision to not provide any tables or chairs, but it is very unlikely.

Thatte idli was really good and ulundu vadai was hot and crispy. I used to go to Fremont every weekend for breakfast but I am happy I have something that is this close to Dublin. Atmosphere is ok but for the taste of food I can take this. It is clean but the strip mall itself looks too old.

I recently visited at this establishment and tried their sambar vada. Unfortunately, I found the vada to be not freshly made, which led to an upset stomach afterward. I strongly suggest that the owner and employees prioritize maintaining good hygiene to uphold the restaurant's reputation. On a positive note, the chutney served with the order was delicious and greatly enjoyed. However, due to the issue with the main dish, I'm giving a 3-star rating. Hopefully, my next visit will be more satisfactory. Additionally, I must mention that the filter coffee was exceptional and is a must-try for coffee lovers.
