" I’ve been coming to Idly Express for a few months now, and I consistently find great food. They're known for their excellent service, and I appreciate how they manage to keep things delicious without being overly greasy. I especially enjoy their vadas and rava kesari. The only drawback is the absence of a dining area, but the flavors make up for it. I will continue to recommend this place to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Always a pleasure visiting Idly Express! Their mini tiffin is packed with such remarkable flavors, truly reminiscent of the meals I grew up with. It's a shame there's limited seating, but the flavors overshadow the need for a dine-in atmosphere. The service has always been pleasant. I will continue coming here for my South Indian fix! " (*Curated Review*)

" It’s great to find a place that serves authentic South Indian food and this one fits the bill! Their idli sambhar combo was good but slightly on the pricey side for what I received. The flavors were great though! My only issue is sometimes they run out of popular items by midday. I hope they can increase their stock to meet demands better in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Idly Express and couldn't have been happier with my meal! The flavors were incredible, and everything tasted so fresh. The only con for me is the takeout-only style, but it makes the food easy to enjoy wherever you want. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic South Indian food. I plan on making this a regular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Idly Express offers a range of South Indian delights that I simply can’t resist! Their thatte idli is pure joy and goes perfectly with the chutneys. The food quality is very dependable, and nothing feels overcooked. The only downside is that they don’t offer a dining option, but as long as the food stays this good, I’m happy to take it away! " (*Curated Review*)

" I often visit Idly Express because of the nostalgic flavors that take me back home. Their food is consistently good, especially the pongal and vada. I usually call ahead since it gets busy. It’s noteworthy that they might lack in dine-in comfort, but the food quality makes it worthwhile. The prices are fair for the generous portions offered. Great for takeout lunches! " (*Curated Review*)

" Been here a couple of times and each time the food has been spot-on. The thatte idli is my personal favorite with a side of chutney! I really appreciate that they focus on authentic South Indian food with a vegetarian-only menu. Although the vibe is strictly takeout, my food always arrives hot and fresh. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
