" Every aspect of my dining experience at Flying Idlis was remarkable! The flavors were robust and truly authentic, reminding me of my grandmother’s cooking. I especially appreciated the variety of chutneys. The service was friendly, although a bit slow at times. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, perfect for a family breakfast outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Flying Idlis for the first time recently and I was pleasantly surprised! The ambiance felt like a true South Indian eatery with colorful decor and a friendly vibe. I ordered the classic idli and dosa combo, and I must say, both items were cooked to perfection. The chutney was fresh and complemented the food well. I definitely plan on returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Flying Idlis was a satisfying culinary adventure. I indulged in their Magic Dosa, and it was as good as everyone said! The staff were polite, and though they occasionally got our order mixed up, they were prompt to correct it. A great spot for anyone wanting a taste of South Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered the special set menu and I was amazed at the amount of food I received! The idlis were fluffy, and the chutneys were varied and delicious. I loved the cozy, sometimes chaotic atmosphere. The only complaint I have is about the service; they forgot about my dessert order, which was frustrating, but the food made up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Flying Idlis several times, and I used to rave about their excellent food. However, during my last visit, both dosa and idli were disappointingly cold and tasted stale. I suspect they might not have been made fresh. On the positive side, their chai was unbelievable! Hopefully, my next visit will be better. " (*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*)
