Good food. Nice ambience. South Indian food
We have been going to Flying Idlis for over 5 years now. They serve some of the most authentic dosas and idlis you can find in Houston. The variety of dosas and idlis are impressive. Dosas are even better than idlis. If you are a south-Indian and craving for that nostalgic feeling for dosas from south India, you will not be disappointed. If you are hot-spice loving masochist ;-), try fiery dosa with red chutney, you will cry will happiness and the hot spice! The atmosphere can...read full review
I recently hired Flying Idli for a family birthday party dinner, they did made-to-order dosa station at the house and brought over 3 different types of idlis (magic, ghee & bullet) with sambar and chutney.

Flying Idlis is a popular spot known for their Authentic South Indian cuisine, specializing in Idlis. The menu offers a variety of dishes that cater to different tastes, from spicy to mild flavors. Many customers find the food delicious, with the Nelloore Ghee Karam Dosa standing out as one of the best dosas they've had. The chutneys and sambar are also highly appreciated for their good taste. The restaurant is a good place for typical Indian tiffins, and visitors often mention that they plan to return multiple times. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the family-run environment adds a personal touch. Some diners feel the ambiance could be improved, as it is quite low key, and believe that a more inviting setting would enhance the experience. The restaurant's opening hours may not suit everyone, as it closes early on weekdays and at 9 pm on weekends. While the floating idlis are healthy and enjoyable, some mention that they could be softer. Improvements suggested include reducing the tea cup size and price, implementing a token or numbering system for better service, and maintaining the place to make it more inviting. Overall, Flying Idlis offers a diverse menu with room for enhancement and is appreciated for its tasty food and friendly staff.
