" I visited last weekend and initially faced a long wait to get seated. The food was decent but not as authentic as I had hoped. I enjoyed the Kara dosa, but the chutneys were a little underwhelming. Service was friendly but could use some improvement. Wouldn't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" An overwhelming experience with tons of flavors at Ulavacharu Tiffins. My mind was blown with the combination of chutneys alongside hot dosas that melted in my mouth. I would say that the wait times could be improved, but the food is too good to criticize! " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely a nice place to grab some authentic South Indian food. Our favorite was the podi idly, which was one of the better iterations I’ve experienced so far. They should address the wait times because they’ve become a little excessive lately! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, this place is a gem for South Indian cuisine. The chutneys were unbelievable and the dosas were some of the best I've had. The only downside was the chaotic environment—the seating is tight and the noise level can rise, but the food makes it worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)

" The dining experience here felt very homey. I adore the podi idlis they serve—they are delectable! Each chutney adds wonderful flavors, unlike anything else I've tasted in the area. I will be back despite the crowded tables on weekends. Their food definitely deserves a revisit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely enjoyed my meal here! The dosas were crispy and packed with flavor, especially the Mysore bonda which was divine. The service was a bit slow due to the busy lunch crowd, but the wait was absolutely worth it. Highly recommend trying their unique chutneys! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visit regularly for the authentic experience. The ghee roast dosas are incredible, but the service can falter during busy hours. Still, the quality of the food keeps bringing us back for more. " (*Curated Review*)
