" I had a fantastic lunch at San Idli recently. It was my first time trying authentic South Indian food, and I was blown away! The staff was really helpful with the menu selection. I ended up going with the masala dosa and I think it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. The only downside was it got quite busy, hard to find parking, so come early if you can! " (*Curated Review*)

" Surprisingly good South Indian food! I ordered the medu vada and coconut chutney—simply phenomenal! The spices were on point, and I also loved the filter coffee they serve. On the downside, I found the place a bit cramped during lunch hour, but it sure makes up with the food's quality! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at San Idli last week. While the food was good, I found that the portion sizes were smaller than expected for the price. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, which made up for it somewhat, however. The staff was friendly but could use some training to improve efficiency. I'd give it another shot for the taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very mixed experience at San Idli last week. The food was good but I was disappointed with the vada—it was hard and not freshly made. The service was friendly but a bit too slow for my liking. It has a nice vibe though, which helped redeem the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had brunch here and the food was pretty good, especially the dosas! They are massive and quite filling. The service was decent but the place was a bit busy, so I had to wait longer for the staff to come around. The atmosphere is pleasant and has a nice vibe. I would return for sure, but weekday visits may be better for quicker service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my friend's birthday at San Idli, and it was such a great choice! The party menu had a variety of dosas and thalis, and everyone left content. The flavors were authentic, and the staff was attentive despite the busy kitchen. We had a delightful time here. Will definitely recommend for group outings! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at San Idli brought me right back to my childhood! Every bite of the dosa reminded me of home. Some of my favorites were the idli and sambhar combo. My friends were amazed at how authentic everything tasted. I appreciated how the staff was quick to refill our chutneys too! Definitely a must-visit if you love South Indian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
