An amazing authentic south Indian pick up spot. The staff is extremely polite and kind. Two things I love about this shop. Weekend breakfast. I come down at 8 am to get vada sambhar dip and the idli sambhar combo with my wife. We also love coming here for evening chai and snacks. They have daily evening snacks after 4 pm only. The snacks are made fresh every ten min in the kitchen. They have two tables outside the store. Please add more tables so we can sit and eat the dishes hot onsite. I crave their sambhar. It is the best sambhar I have eaten so far. It’s an amazing balance of flavors. I make sure every time I go to order the 32 ounce box sambar to go. Their chutney is made fresh. This is what I love about such places keep the menu simple basic and fresh ingredients and execute it right. In evening snacks I am always ordering the pakora, samosa and masala vada. All are excellent. Although I like to request to create a version of pakora that has Thai or India chilly in it NOT jalapenos. I look forward to sitting outside enjoying the breeze and sipping on their masala chai and devouring the hot pakora in front of the mountains in milpitas. Jalapenos are not spicy. Please keep the same recipe just add more spicy chilly. The batter consistency is perfect for the pakora. I will be coming to this place weekly I am sure especially for early morning breakfast on weekends. South India filtered coffee goes amazing with breakfast and snacks. This place is a must try for anyone who wants true traditional south Indian meals. This place is 100 percent vegetarian. I am a non veg but I have no complaints. What they are making satisfying me to my soul. Keep delivering a great product. Great job idly express team.

Absolutely amazing idlys and vadas. You just cannot go wrong here. The idlys are super fluffy, the vada has the perfect crunch without being oily. The cherry on the top is the service. Nagarjuna was super prompt, very kind and made us feel welcomed and cared for. Highly highly recommend!
