We stopped here when leaving San Diego. They put a table and chairs outside so we could sit with our dog.
The food was delicious, especially the dosa with added cheese.
Will definitely come back next time in the SD area

Food is great. Closest to authentic South Indian food. The atmosphere and service can be improved. It can be bit chaotic (like India). Makes it even more authentic.
I really wish they have more options for kids (with less chilli) instead of just Cone dosa and Chocolate Dosa. If they can make all the masalas and chutneys with less spice and bit more sugar, maybe kids will have more options to try.

We (group of 10- all the way from TX) recently visited this South Indian restaurant in San Diego, and I must say, the experience was absolutely delightful! The food was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was flavorful and authentic, but what really stood out to me was the Sambhar—it was perfectly spiced and paired so well with the other dishes. The Ghee Idli was another highlight; soft, fluffy, and drenched in the rich, aromatic ghee—just incredible!
Beyond the food, the service was excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was also warm and welcoming, creating a great atmosphere for a meal.
Overall, I highly recommend this place if you're craving authentic South Indian cuisine. You won’t be disappointed!
So Tasty!! We keep coming back and every time it feels even better and tastier. Great food and very good service. They also have Jain and no onion/garlic options.
Vegetarian options: One of the best vegetarian places

We had amazing breakfast at San Idli today, the breakfast combo taste is fantastic sponge soft idli, crispy vada and amazing dosa and awesome Pongal with right amount of pepper corns and ghee and service is commendable , we got our order served in less than 5 mins, Tea and coffee are next level… Thank you Team San Idli for providing this amazing experience in our San Diego dairies 😊
