Yummy south indian food and really good coffee too. One of the rare places in Bay area where we got really big thin dosa for paper masala

Sambhar was good but Dosa was average. Their chutneys are very watery and are not flavorful. It is a casual place where you have to do self service.

Food is great, but the owner is too salty to serve food to hindi speaking people. Mango lassi is a must try

Amazing food. Terrible staff. Probably the best South Indian breakfast you’ll try if you can deal with the horrible staff that run this place. We’ve eaten here 10+ times, and have been lectured/ told things we can do and cannot do. Made fun of when we said the wrong thing about the idly being dipped in the gravy vs not. We have been legit yelled at when we used their silverware station to sit sugar into our coffees. But the food is good enough for us to now door dash their food. They lecture you about losing margin when you pick up your doordash btw.

Another great find for authentic South Indian vegetarian cuisine.
Our Medu Vadas were fresh with a crispy surface and flavorful insides served with sambhar, coconut, and tomato chutneys. Vegetable Uttapam - another item that touched our soul.
My wife and I split each item and that was just right for our small appetites.
Must go back to try out some of the others from their extensive menu.
Good find!

Very slow service, food didn't seem very fresh as well, Madhuri idli Kadai is a better alternative anyday
The food is good, the service is bad. It feels like the shop owners have a great dislike or hate for customers, they always seem pissed off. I have visited this place a lot though for the food, but couldn't bear the callous attitude anymore.

We ordered takeout today and the following items were really good and would highly recommend. Madurai Malli Dosa, Kara Onion Rava Masala Dosa, Pongal & Vada. Chutneys and Sambhar were really good. One of the best Pongal in Bay Area. It was also not super expensive. Would certainly go again

Pure vegetarian restaurant. The taste was good. It’s beside the 7-11 store. They had outdoor seating as well. Idly Sambar and Vada Sambar was good. We can visit multiple times and try out other dishes as well.
We have to order the food at the counter and they will serve to the table. Water, spoons are self serve.

Nice, quiet, clean and spacious place in a small strip mall. Food quality is excellent. Flavors are mild and subtle. Service is courteous. Good place to enjoy South Indian vegetarian meal with family and friends.
Vegetarian options: This is a vegetarian only place.

The food was good here when we ate but we all turned sick later at night with bad stomach pain. We noticed that the place look unhygienic.They don’t clean the tables unless we ask them to do and the spoons were not washed properly and had previously eaten food in it. Also the plates don’t look clean too. When we order filter coffee , we expect to bring them in the South Indian way with a steel glass which adds special taste to the coffee but the coffee cup they gave was a disposable once just like other American coffee shops and didn’t taste like exact filter coffee. I won’t be going again as this place is unhygienic. It’s not just the taste of food that matters , hygiene is more important than that to eat wholeheartedly. I don’t understand how people give 5 star reviews when the place looks hardly cleaned.
