The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of this place is the crowd and the very delayed service. We had to wait for an hour to get just these 2 items and waited another half hour for a takeaway order which we placed along with these 2 items. Not at all happy with service and the taste was also okayish not the greatest - I’ve definitely had better in the bay. There are better South Indian restaurants in the South Bay. I wouldn’t go here another time.
We came on Sunday for lunch and there is a long line and waited 10 mins to get table. The staff are friendly and fast with taking order and serving. The dosai was great and very spicy. The mango lassi is amazing LOL
We wanted to have some Southern Indian food for breakfast today morning but didn't wanted to drive far off so choose UlavacharuU Tiffins.We have tried many times before but always it was Togo so thought of having a sit down experience this time.Since we were the first customer to the restaurant the whole restaurant was empty so we can choose any seating except the last area they are been reserved for family ( I think they mean family with kids) .We ordered some breakfast items-1) Idly - the No of idlies in this plate are 3 to accompany it comes with Sambhar & 3 different chutneys.It took some time almost 20-25 mins to come since it was being freshly made as per the staff ( David) who informed us when ordering we didn't mind to wait. My husband got the chance to read his novel & I was enjoying some Bollywood songs .When the Idli came I didn't see any coconut chutney so asked David about it , he informed only with Dosa they give coconut chutney but he graciously agreed to give us some.Idli was piping hot & soft enjoyed it with all chutneys & sambhar. Their chutneys are really good - spicy tomato & Red Chilli chutney , Peanut chutney , Ginger & jaggery ( unrefined cane sugar) this is my favorite so far I have not seen in any Bay Area restaurants & last but not the least coconut chutney it was made with fresh coconut (not descicated or coconut powder which many restaurants make it) we enjoyed every bite of this as well.2) Idly Vada combo we choose 3 Idli & 1 Vada-This was also very good pipping hot Idli & Vada it was freshly made . Their Vada was freshly made & crunchy. We shared the 1 Vada.3) Ghee Masala Dosa - again very flavorful due to ghee ( clarified butter) can't go wrong with it !!!The main reason we went for sit down is whenever we do Togo especially with Dosa the crispy Dosa turns soggy/ soft by the time we reach home . So we're really looking forward to have it.The Ghee Dosa when served we didn't see any Masala ( potato filling) which my husband loves it so asked about it ... David informed us they have to remake the potato batch again from starch since the early batch became very salty so it will take time , we were bummed but couldn't wait that long so agreed to eat it with chutney & sambhar.As we were enjoying the Dosa, David came back again & apologized for it again & comped us either with Medhu Vada or Idli so we choose Medhu Vada. We loved their customer service.4) Mysore Dosa - it was good on its own as well as their chutneys & sambhar.It's been ages since I have eaten it , It's a childhood nostalgia. I grew up eating Ram Ashraya ( Matunga Bombay) restaurant Mysore Dosa so nothing comes closer to that taste for me ...We ended up our breakfast with 1 Filter Coffee it was very strong but good.Overall we loved the food & will come back again in a heartbeat.
One of the best food, probably in the US!We ordered Idly vada combo, masala and mysore dosa. All of these dishes were beyond amazing. Chutneys and sambhar were the best part. I try not to drink tea but their masala chai is amazingly delicious. Prices are reasonable.I'd definitely recommend this place and visit them again.
I loved the prep. Crispy vadas, fresh n soft idlies & superb tasty chutneys made my first experience amazing. The staff is so welcoming. Lovely ambience & vibe. Would definitely want to try more variety here?
This is out go to place for breakfast or lunch. It's the only good restaurant that is open and operational for a late breakfast or an early lunch. We've visited this place multiple times and each time the food quality has been top notch. They have a very limited menu but every entree is worth trying. Their dosas are crisp and served with the most delicious 4 chutneys. We've never asked for a chutney refill so I'm unaware if they offer it.Ambience: Simple neat and clean. It is really quiet and calm during the week days and chock a block during weekends without any compromise on food or service. Get here early if going on a weekend.Quantity: GoodParking: AmpleTimes visited: 6
Good food, no fluff, quick service at an affordable price.You just sit and someone will come to get your order and food shows up in 5 minutes. (As expected, 5 items are ready and your dosa is just made order). They have bottled water at the table too.Kudos to the management for running a nice spot for such foods. Hope to come back again.
One of the busiest places , took some time for me to get a table and my ordered dishes. I tried ulavacharu masala dosa , punugulu and poori .I really liked the dosa , it was crisp and roasted perfectly, must try!!The size of the dosas and uthapam are damn good for the price you pay for it, and they are tasty and satisfying too.Must visit place if you are a fan of Indian breakfast.
Delicious South Indian place. We tried ulavacharu dosa and podi onion masala dosa. Both were great options with the right amount of spices. Dosa comes with sambhar and four different types of chutneys. Filter coffee was great too, thankfully sugar was on the side and not added to the coffee. Prices were very reasonable. They have plenty of tables, there was no wait time on a Saturday evening.They also sell sweets, spices and snacks boxes at the counter.
Giving them 5 star rating for the food. They are overwhelmed during rush hour service, hope they add at least a person front house. Podi idly, Kara masala dosa is best. Their chutneys are good as well. If they maintain quality, we’ll keep coming here.
