" Great place to grab some authentic South Indian food! I loved every bite of the idlis and vadas. They were served warm and full of flavor. The restaurant ambiance is quite soothing, a perfect spot for a family gathering or a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful experience! The variety of dishes was impressive. I had the masala dosa and pongal, both were excellent. The ambiance is adorned with beautiful decorations that make you feel at home. The service was also quick. I can see myself becoming a regular! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was decent but quite oily. I tried the benne dosa and wasn't impressed with the thickness and richness. It felt rather heavy. I guess this style appeals to some, but it wasn't for me. The restaurant is lovely, and the staff were polite and helpful. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Idly Express was quite nice! I enjoyed their filter coffee and thatte idli, both of which brought a touch of home. The service was prompt, and the staff were helpful. Although the portions could be a bit larger for the price, I still found the flavors authentic and satisfying. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was quite the opposite. While the atmosphere was pleasant, I found the food lacking in flavor. The sambhar tasted too bland, and the vadas weren't as fresh as expected. The service was friendly, but it cannot make up for the food. I may give it another try hoping for better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can honestly say this is the best South Indian restaurant I've found in the Bay Area. The sambhar and chutney complement everything perfectly, and I loved the warm atmosphere. This place feels like home away from home! I’ll definitely recommend it to all my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Good flavors, good service, but how about portion sizes? I ordered the idlis and left a bit unsatisfied with how little I received for the price. Hopefully they'll adjust their offerings as they grow. Overall, very clean and a pleasant atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)
