This restaurant has been a hidden gem for over two decades. I've been coming here since my…read morechildhood, and even today, the food tastes just as amazing as I remember. They serve authentic Indian flavors, and their thali is one of the best in the Bay Area. Whenever I'm in Sunnyvale, I make it a point to stop by for a meal. The prices are unbeatable for the quality and taste they offer. Everything on the menu is outstanding, and it's impressive how they've maintained their loyal customer base over the years. During my recent visit, I ordered Papri Chaat, Undhiyu, Pizza Paratha, and the Puri Thali. Everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The Papri Chaat was especially delicious, and the Aloo Matar Sabzi was simply excellent. If you're looking for authentic Indian food with great taste, generous portions, and reasonable prices, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Mysore masala dosa - 8/10 Nice thin dosa with good potato masala inside, Vada - 3/10 Pretty hard almost like a rock, Pongal - 7.5/10 Decent but didn't really get the ghee flavor. The chutneys were really good, coconut was mild, tomato and the green chutney were both solid. The sambar was different from the usual restaurant sambar. It was thicker, almost like dal or tomato pappu. But it tasted fresh, homemade and had lots of veggies, which I actually liked. Except for the vada, I enjoyed everything!

Visited this restaurant after a long time today. Had to leave a review finally :) Love the…read moresimplicity and quick service of this place. The restaurant is small with seatings for about 25-30 people. Idlis have been my always favorite here. The sourness and texture is absolute perfect. The Mysore masala dosa had a moderate amount of the red masala or paste, so it wasn't spicy. Not to my liking so much. Sambar is not sweet (as expected) and is very flavorful. Also tried the podi masala dosa today, it had a decent amount of podi in it (not spicy). It is good, the dosa itself is neither thick nor too crispy - but thin. If you were looking for the texture details :) Next time I'll try the Mysore malli dosa which I missed to notice today ;( My friends also love the dipped mini idli/ Vada or idlis here. Loved the filter coffee in the end, it's a must for me! Tip: morning hours are very busy- plan to wait or visit at an odd hour like I did at 3 pm lol. You might see long queues during busy hours in the morning or evening!

I really like dosa, so I was glad a friend brought me here. They have a long list to choose from, and while great to have options, I might need a little help selecting on my own. The dosa was very good, and the chutneys added a lot of flavor. The medu vada had a nice crunch, though I expected a bit more sharp flavor. It is a simple place that delivers. I would go back.

When we placed our order, it wasn't so busy, but after we sat down, a flock of people came out of nowhere and it got busy. Our four dishes came out staggered, and the latter two were delayed a bit but we understood due to how busy it got. Everything came out hot and the flavors were spot on. Their chole bhature was pretty tasty and so was their dal khachori with aloo curry. The kachori was so nice and crispy with the hot aloo curry. The textures were great. Would definitely try more items on their menu next time.

I have to update my review from 2023. After coming here again many more times since 2023, I have to…read moresay they completely nail it when it comes to hospitality, authentic/homestyle dhaba flavors, and menu items that absolutely feel like you are eating at the chaat stalls in India. The commitment to making delicious food and flavors consistently is no easy feat (esp across a span of the 3 years we have been going). This is authentic, home style cooking! We most recently came here to celebrate my mom's birthday with family and we ordered the following: - mirchi/chili pakodas aka mom's favorite - lightly battered jalapeno/serranos fried and drained. Delicious! Perfect crisp, less batter, and with chaat masala on top. Was so light on the stomach. - batata vadas - vada pav - a family favorite - dahi batata sev puri - my personal favorite and so very well made (puris were so crisp and filled to the brim with tasty chutneys) - hara bhara paratha - a consistent 3-year favorite that keeps getting better with time. - methi masala puris with chole - my husband's and dad's all-time favorite. drinks: rose lassis, mango lassis, jal jeera, and the salted lassies are all wonderful! The owner knew it was my mom's birthday and made it so special by giving us gulab jamuns on the house and went out of his way to make sure my mom was having a great time. They make food with their whole heart, and when it's done like that, then you know you're always getting good quality food, consistently. They just keep getting better with time - no matter how busy they are, rain or shine. I can't wait to go back!

Orders were taken quickly and appetiser arrived immediately. Sabudana vada were a little on the small ish size for just 2 per order. Everything else was fabulous - kofta was soft and curry was nutty and creamy. Daal makhani 24 h was mind blowing. Naans tend to be little bit on a thicker side here. Roti were soft and hot. Noodles though not really hakka style, tasted really good with chili garlic, hot sauce taste. Chai was hot and perfect! All in all good vegetarian food one stop shop for to snacks, chaat items and family dinner.

It is long time since we have been here on Friday night it was crowded though. We ordered the sprouts bhel , it was ok but for sprouts bhel we want to see more sprouts than normal bhel. It was there but not prominent as it should be. Kollu soup was ok, spices were on the milder side. Pesto naan with methi was best of what we had, zthe Naan itself was well nade and had right amount of pesto on it. The methi side with paneer was good and we can feel the freshness in the dish. It was also accompained with onion and pickle with lemon missing. Service was good, but cleaniness is much desired. You can see all the chaos in kitchen when you use washroom also the utensils are old worn out.
