The sandwiches look like thick patties on biscuits, but the bread is light and tender. The curry was very spicy, but it stopped short of burning away the other flavors. That said, you might want to consider asking your server to explain how spicy things are The service is attentive -which is good because I found the QR code menu confusing. I like being the only Caucasian in a busy restaurant. It's my go-to Indian lunch restaurant

Heard rave reviews about this place right from when they started small with pre-orders. Finally I…read morehad a chance to visit this. The menu was primarily Karnataka based and there were kannada songs playing in the background. This place is known for their Benne Dosas, but we were not in the mood to try them. We ordered Ghee Pudi Thatte Idli, Set Dosa and Chow Chow Bath. Set Dosa was so airy, with the right amount of thickness. It tasted heavenly! 5/5 for this. But we were so disappointed with the chutneys, not the kind we like. And they were served ice cold Not a fan of their sambar as well. Thatte Idli was decent, all the podi lacked spice. It looked super bright but seemed super bland overall. I'm glad the ghee was served on the side so we can customize it based on taste. Chow Chow bath came with their famous Khara Bath and Kesari Bath. Both tasted good. Filter Coffee was strong and tasty! The experience was overall limited because we had to eat out of togo containers and plastic cutlery.

Pros: average tasting sandwich. Below average tasting loaded samosa…read more Cons: loaded samosas was half filled with jalapeños and onions. Price of $14.95 for a basic loaded samosa was expensive. Same goes for sandwich. Price of $18.95, sandwich was smaller than subway foot long. ( understand not a direct comparison but for sizing only) . Taste was about average. In bay area, there are plenty of other places that will taste better for reasonable price. Probably not going to order again. Gave it a try.

Only downside is the price. Food is extremely overpriced for what it is.

My favorites on the menu in no particular order are 1) masala puri: lots of new spots have tried to hit the mark but they are the best! 2) bhel puri: it's the kind Bangaloreans call churmuri with carrot gratings, peanuts and is slightly wetter than the regular recipes but so delicious! 3) badam halva: melts in your mouth 4) maddur vade- our absolute favorite! They are the only ones who use rava in the right proportion to give it that crisp! If you are nostalgic about Blore, this is the first spot you should try!

Service was good, nothing exceptional but just simple and nice. They serve chutney unlimited, usually how it happens back in hometown. We tried pesarattu, rava dosa, plain dosa, punugulu, filter coffee - all top notch, how I would like to have back in home. I only have a minor complaint with Uttapam - it was very thick but a few people might like it. Ambience is simple and good. Over weekend you would usually find long wait - we got our table ~30-40 min.

This place used to be good, but unfortunately, both the service and food quality seem to have gone…read moredownhill. Let me explain. I started by asking for an Indian cola, Thums Up. They were out, so I asked for a "Limeca." The staff corrected me--"It's Limca"--only to then tell me they were out of that too. A minor interaction, but correcting a customer's pronunciation when you can't actually serve the drink came across as unnecessary and a little off-putting. For dinner, my family and I ordered dosas. We wanted to separate our food into two orders for expense purposes. We were told they couldn't do that, but that we could split the bill at the front desk. Okay--not a big deal. The service once the food arrived was more disappointing. The staff seemed hesitant and unsure about what they were serving and who had ordered what. I found myself directing the waitstaff and coordinating which dosa belonged to whom. At most restaurants, the server either knows where each dish is going or at least clearly announces what they're holding so the appropriate person can speak up. Here, there was very little communication, leaving me to sort it out myself. More broadly, the staff seemed disengaged and lacking in confidence when interacting with customers. I don't know whether that comes down to training, motivation, management, or something else, but the customer-facing experience simply isn't what I remember it being. Management should probably take a closer look at this. The food itself was also disappointing. Both my father and I immediately noticed how little filling there was in our dosas compared with previous visits. My 70-year-old father later remarked that this was the least amount of potatoes he had ever been served in a dosa in his life--and he has eaten plenty of dosas over the years. I understand that food costs have risen, but potatoes are hardly an ingredient where cutting back should make such a noticeable difference. I distinctly remember the dosas here being much more generously filled in previous years. South Indian food is usually a once-a-year outing for my family, and Ulavachar has traditionally been the place we go. I also fondly remember Udupi Palace from growing up in this area, so I've always had a soft spot for a good South Indian restaurant. Unfortunately, after this experience, I don't think we'll be coming back. Perhaps we'll give Madras Café a try next time. Chalta hai, I suppose.

We stood in front of the food truck in the order line. One by one, the man (cashier and cook, maybe even the owner - he did it all) was taking the orders. It was our turn and we stood there for about 15 minutes THEN he took our order. He could've at least acknowledged us that he will be right with us, but nope. We were just standing outside in the street, mind you that there are constant cars driving through and we had to keep scooting back and forth to make room for a car to drive by. It was already dangerous for us to be standing in the line, but to be waiting for that long?! I was going to walk to another truck, but we stuck it out. Finally ordered a samosa plate and a pani puri (or not really sure which one), but then we had to wait some more. Got our food and headed home. The food was actually pretty good, but I knocked down a star for the poor service and attention to customer.

Highly recommend. PS- you can ask them to make the chaat based on the spice level of your liking.
