This is one my go to South Indian restaurants in the bay area. Located in Santa Clara, and close by India Cash and Carry store. They have wide variety of South Indian dishes, and all of them tastes good. Their Thali's on Weekends particularly have good menu items. The pricing is economical too and service is quick.
Food is definitely good and authentic.We had ghee kara masala dosa, thali , rava onion dosa and Mysore masala.All of the dishes were very good fresh.dosas were crispy. Thali is a must try.Its really crowded on weekends, so expect a wait of 10-20 mins. filter coffee is also good.Service was slow and we had to remind them of our orders.
It's a decent South Indian restaurant. We ordered Ghee Podi Masala Dosa (3/5) and Mysore Masala Dosa(3/5). The masala was very bland.We also ordered the filter coffee(4/5) and buttermilk(3/5).We went during lunch time on a weekend and had to wait about 20 mins to get a table, so plan accordingly. There is not much staff currently to handle all the customers, so the service is slow.
My first time visiting a local south Indian restaurant and learned so much about their cuisine. South Indian cuisine is all vegetarian. It appears they specialize in dosas and sambhar.The mansala dosa was large but a bit soft but the crispy type which was still delicious and soaked up the 3 types of sauces and a soup. They have a different daily thali or variety set of 6 dishes which was also very good and includes white rice. Kapoori was also very tasty fried puffy goodness especially with the sambhar and potatoes.I'm sure I committed some native eating etiquette by using a spoon to eat as well as my left hand so I hope I didn't attract too many side glances by other customers. Service was exceptionally friendly and the server stopped by several times to bring refills of our dishes which I wasn't sure was customary like Korean bon chon or because we were the only non Indian customers but certainly appreciated and took advantage of their generosity. Highly recommend and will certainly be back!
The food here was absolutely delicious. It truly reminded me of authentic South Indian food that can be around all around south India (obviously) and some parts of north India. It brought me back to memories of Tamil Nadu. The restaurant is decorated like a restaurant in Chennai (simple) and the atmosphere wasn’t anything special but I’d definitely recommend trying the food. Staff were nice and fast.
