San Idli is a popular destination for those seeking authentic South Indian cuisine. The restaurant welcomes pets and has outdoor seating. Their dosa, including street style dosa, Mysore dosa, and Idli vada combo, are highly recommended. Regular visitors praise the consistently prepared dishes that perfectly balance flavor and authenticity. The filter coffee is often highlighted for its amazing smell and great taste, reminiscent of Indian railway chai and bringing back fond memories. The food is fresh, flavorful, and well-spiced, with a good variety of vegetarian options. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seats, making it comfortable for diners, although the inside can be a bit hot. Service is attentive, with staff asking if extra chutneys and sambar are needed, and they are praised for their friendly attitude. While the atmosphere is generally good, there is room for improvement, especially in adding more options for kids, including less spicy dishes. Overall, San Idli offers great vegetarian South Indian food, with dishes like Ganesha Chaturthi thali receiving special praise for their perfect balance of flavors.
