" I was really looking forward to visiting this spot. The chutneys were a standout, especially the coconut chutney. Had an average experience overall as the seating was uncomfortable and the food came out sort of slow, though it was prepared well once it arrived. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience. The food felt lackluster compared to the rave reviews I read. The ladies behind the counter were quite slow in processing our order. The tables were cramped, making it hard to enjoy a meal while those around you rushed to their food. I don't think I'll return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" A perfect place to satisfy your South Indian cravings! The flavors are deeply authentic and truly enjoyable. The wait for seating can be long during the weekends, so plan accordingly. Once you get in, you'll appreciate the vibrant atmosphere and the quality of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Madurai Idli Kadai is a treasure tucked away in a corner of Sunnyvale. It has that charming 'hole in the wall' vibe, making each visit feel personal and cozy. Their idlis are soft, and the plethora of chutneys available ensures each meal can be different. Despite the often crowded conditions, the staff manage to keep the line moving efficiently. Plus, the prices are quite reasonable for the value! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I found the food to be good, the place is excessively small and very noisy. I ordered the Mysore masala dosa, which was flavorful but a bit oily for my taste. Service was quick, but the atmosphere detracted from the overall experience. I might opt for takeout next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for an authentic South Indian experience! Despite the limited space and sometimes overwhelming crowd, the quality of the food makes it worthwhile. The service is usually effective, but at peak times, you may encounter delays. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Madurai Idli Kadai after hearing so much hype around it. Although there was a bit of a line, I was impressed by how quickly everything moved. The dosa was crispy, and everything was fresh. I loved the different chutneys they offer too! It's authentic, flavorful, and I'm definitely going back again soon. " (*Curated Review*)
