This is my first time eating here, I had no idea what to expect, but I shouldn’t have been so nervous. The workers were friendly and there was also a large computer screen to order from too. The food was ready within two minutes. There’s a few tables outside and in, though it’s mainly a takeout restaurant. I got the Bisibele Bath and Curd Rice combo and a Rose Milk. It was all DELICIOUS! The Bisibele was nice and hot and a bit spicy but not too much. The curd rice was chilled and helped cool down the spice from the Bisibele. The rose milk was dessert in a cup and went with the meal so well. I usually get a mango lassi when ordering Indian food, but I’m glad I tried something new. I will be eating here again next time I’m in the area. Thank you Idly Express!

Head’s up for food delivery driver’s NO Discount offered at this place. All though food is delicious and made with Love and care of keeping Hygiene in mind as well.

Both the breakfast and the coffee are excellent. But what really makes the difference is Ahamed who runs the place. Definitely a place to go to over and over again.

Love picking up food from here. Ahamed provides great customer service and is prompt in delivering / scheduling customer orders and regulating the crowd. He also ensures your order is correct! To top it off there is filter coffee and snacks here too !

We’ve been regular customers of this Idly Express location since it opened and have enjoyed food from Mylapore since 2018. This restaurant has truly been a lifesaver, delivering delicious, home-style food day after day. We regularly order the hot lunch and many other items from their menu, and every meal has been consistently satisfying. The staff is always friendly and attentive—special thanks to Siva and Ahmed for their outstanding service and for always putting customers first throughout the years.

We discovered Idly Express – Almaden while remodeling our kitchen and ended up coming for nearly every meal. It was the closest feeling to home — authentic, comforting, and consistently delicious. Ahamed’s warmth and kindness made every visit perfect, and we keep coming back for that same taste of home.

I have been to this place since its inception and the biggest positive is the consistency with the food and their service. Special call out for Ahmed ..who always welcomes you with a smile and makes sure your order is accurate and is as expected

Great food as in the other locations. Service can be a bit slow since lines can long run. Orders could have a separate queue to move things fast.
