" As a South Indian food enthusiast, I can say without hesitation that Flying Idlis truly deserves its reputation. I tried their 'Magic Dosa' and it was bursting with flavor, paired excellently with the chutneys. The only downside was a bit of a wait for our order. Still, the excitement from the food made up for it. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Flying Idlis, why did you let me down this time? My last experience was delightful, but this time, the dosa felt burnt, and the idli was tasteless. The service was quite slow, and it felt like we were neglected. I hope this is just a rough patch for you guys! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best idli I've ever had! It's fluffy and paired with a rich and spicy chutney. The owners are very polite, and the place itself bustling with customers, which adds to the authenticity! I only wish they had better beverages to accompany the meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Flying Idlis was a mixed bag. While the food quality was commendable, with fluffy idlis and crispy dosas, the cleanliness was lacking. I noticed some mess around the tables, and the service felt uncoordinated at times. I barely got my coffee and it was cold when it finally arrived. Nonetheless, I would like to give them another shot based on the great flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Savoring authentic South Indian delicacies at Flying Idlis was a wonderful experience. Their idlis had a perfect texture, complemented by freshly made chutneys. The service, whilst a little slow, was compensated by the friendliness of the staff. I look forward to my next visit for more flavorful meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Flying Idlis remains one of my favorite spots! I love their Floating Idlis and how they serve them with ample chutney. The atmosphere is a bit crowded, but it enhances the lively vibe of the place. I can't say much about the service though, as it often feels rushed and impersonal. Still, the food is worth it for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic meal here! The filter coffee was noteworthy, and the dosa was spicy yet delectable. While the service could be improved, I was satisfied with my meal overall. Keep up the good work, Flying Idlis! I will be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
