Food is just awesome here. We visited this place twice in past months and absolutely loved the food. So far we have tried Deluxe combo, rava dosa, and Paneer biryani. Deluxe combo comes with a choice of dosa, idli or vada, pongal or upma, coffee or tea. We got masala dosa, upma and tea for our combo. Masala dosa is always nicely made, upma is usually delicious and is perfect to end the meal. Rava dosa here is also very crispy and tasty. Vijaywada paneer biryani is absolutely delicious, biryani is poured in the bowl in such a way that gravy with paneer is at the bottom and rice is at the top so make sure to get all the layers while eating. Biryani comes with salan and raita. Service here is good. You order at the window and pick up your food when your number is called. Ambiance is ok and they try to keep the place clean and play some songs in the background.

Loveddd this place! Small place, fresh hot food, good quantity, very tasty. We went for a weekday breakfast and had the place pretty much to us. We took a combo breakfast meal and enjoyed the flavors. Definitely recommended!

Visit this spot for an authentic taste of South Indian cuisine. The service is average, and the ambiance is lacking, but the food is excellent. My favorites include the Street Noodles and Mushroom Biryani. The Street Noodles evoke memories of my time in India, and the Mushroom Biryani surpasses even boneless chicken Biryani. I highly recommend it, especially if you're vegetarian or attempting to cut back on meat, as their Mushroom Biryani is sure to satisfy your cravings. While I tried the Dosa, it didn't quite win me over.

This place has some great South Indian breakfast options.. if you love tiffins and if you miss all those Indian tiffins from back home, this is the place to come.. I was surprised to find Mysore bonda here and even more surprised that it tasted as delicious as it would be in india.. they have variety of dosa options to choose from.. Pongal here is delicious.. podi Idli with ghee tasted good.. Vada was okay.. they do have some combo options to choose which lets you taste different foods, I would recommend going for the combos! Heard that their lunch Thalis and biryanis are brilliant as well !

Breakfast on a Monday morning and so surprised at how many were there to get some takeout. A few other tables in use for dine in. I got to be honest, it was my first time here and my expectations were a bit low. Came here because a friend recommended it. Ordered the deluxe combo with Kara dosa,.pongal, idli, vada and tea, and a seperate order of Poori. Poori and curries were okay okay. The channa masala and potato sagu/masala were a bit watery and definitely not the best in terms of flavor. Average, can order only if you're really really craving poori. Deluxe combo was amazing man. Husband and I shared this combo, and it's quite a lot of food. Kara dosa - lived up to its name and was actually spicy, which I loved. Pongal was so soft and melt in the mouth, and I was a little annoyed at the husband for eating more than his half, I merely had a few mouthfuls and wanted more! Sambar was good. Peanut chutney was out of the world. Lol. I'm a big peanut chutney fan in general and this one was just perfect, exactly how I liked it. So definitely definitely gonna make this place a regular, just for the pongal, peanut chutney and Kara dosa alone. Yayyy, I'm so happy

We looovvved the food from here. This was our FIRST sit in dining at a restaurant since February, 2021. There were only 2 tables with patrons. However the doors were left open giving the dining space an outdoorsie feel. Few minutes after we placed our order and sat down, other patrons completed their dining and left. For the next Hour or so we were the only people inside the restaurant. Cool! We ordered the following ($33.75) Plain Dosa Plain Rava Dosa Punugulu Oothappam Then we ordered ($15.23) Vada Mirch Bhajji. All items were good. Super tasty. Chutney's were delicious. Not too spicy, good to be soaked by the carbs we were overloading on! The owner lady was kind enough to get us Brinjal Yogurt curry/stew called Vankaaya Perugu Pachchadi. This will be a repeat destination for us during our future Nor Cal trips!
