    I gotta start off this review saying the 5 stars is purely for their food! The service is pretty slow and the place definitely needs a bit of maintenance but once you taste their food, you'll know why they are always crowded despite their issues :) Their sambar is one of THE BEST I've had in the bay. You can try any combination of dosai and you won't be disappointed - everything is delicious but especially ghee rava, do not miss this! If you love a bit of heat, try their kara malli dosai. Idlies are fantastic and vadai is crissspy (a bit too oily for me though) & the Poori channa is made the South Indian way which needs a special mention cause got don't get this at all Indian restaurants.

    Best south Indian food in the bay area. They have the softest idlies and crispiest vadas. Their coconut chutney tastes like the ones made back home. The sambhar was very good as well and the taste was similar to the one we get at Saravana Bhavan from Tamil Nadu. I highly recommend this small, clean and authentic restaurant for south Indian food.

    Food here never disappoints! It feels like eating at a good restaurant in India. Their chutneys and sambar are scrumptious! We ordered rava onion podi dosa, pongal vada, ghee podi dosa, Madurai malli dosa and sambar vada. Every dish tasted damn good, Madurai malli dosa being exceptionally tasty! A must visit for nice South Indian tiffin if you are in the area!

    The Kara Masala Dosa was great - spicy and garlicky! The spiciness creeps up on you after you have several bites. And the aloo masala was quite good too. The medu vada and ghee podi dosa were yummy as well. The sambar and chutneys were average. For a place which specializes in idli/dosas, it seems strange that the chutneys which are served with pretty much every dish are so meh! The green mint chutney especially was quite strange and didn't go with dosas at all. The dosas are quite a bit larger than at some other restaurants like Madras cafe, which we weren't expecting, so we ended up over-ordering! Like other reviewers have mentioned, the service is quite slow. We had to wait around 25 min for our order even though there were only 5 other people (2 tables) in the restaurant at that time. I guess they are very short-staffed. The interiors are very similar to most of the other dosa restaurants in Sunnyvale where you go for the food, not the ambiance.
