Onion & Tomato Uthappam
Shailesh M.

Great go-to place when in mall! Specially kids have the cone dosa and ghee idly that makes it more special!! The Mumbai pav bhaji is the best and this time tried the onion tomato uthapam and that was very nice but little bit thicker. Overall a great place and service and ambience is very good!! Must visit !!

Samosas that everyone started gobbling even before I could take a pic!

We love ID Cafe for a quick Indian snack. Their Filter coffee is so good! We usually get their Onion Samosas, Masala Dosa and enjoy it with a cup of their masala chai tea or Filter Coffee. Heavenly! The dessert here that we find the most unique and exquisite is the Cocoa Mysore Pak with Chikoo (Sapadilla) ice cream. SO GOOD! Seating, ambience and vibe is very casual. Service is usually prompt and attentive. We highly recommend ID Cafe, IMHO it is guaranteed to satisfy your South Indian food cravings!

Tikka fries
Sydney J.

I decided to order from them when visiting the Stoneridge Shopping Center. We got the beyond karaikudi dosa (vegan) and the tikka fries. Beyond karaikudi dosa: It is described as their famous karaikudi style dosa made with ground beyond meat vegan protein, onions, tomatoes and coriander. It was quite a bit spicier than I expected since it supposedly did not have peppers (I am weak to spice, unfortunately). It came with 4 sauces, green one was cilantro, the red orange one was spicy, not sure what the tan one was exactly, and the other orange one was more soupy but was not spicy. Tikka fries: This was really good, savory, I loved the tikka flavor and the fries are thin but crispy. It didn't take long for food to be prepared, and I appreciate that they have quite a few outdoor tables.

Dosa
Jace R.

I always forget to take a picture of the food but man this place is amazing i got at least twice a week. Honestly some of the nicest and coolest staff ive had the pleasure of talking to. The ambiance is really nice inside, plenty of seating. I always get togo and their togo setup is probably the best ive seen, and my dosa always comes out of it wonderful Edit: I got a picture this time! This togo boxing is truly top notch!

This was an OK visit. I found the food way too spicy and struggled through half of it. The others in the party felt the same way.

Nov 2024 Good stop for a quick meal Dosas and Idlis are Batata (potato) bites 5/5 This restaurant has a premier dosa menu - goat kheema 4/5 & handi dosa 4/5 are a must try ! Service is quick

Great fusion food! If you're in the area and want some comfort food but with unique flavors this is the place the check out. Unlimited sambhar and chutney is always welcome! The restaurant is in a mall so perfect for a little break during a shopping session!

Masala dosa
Debbie F.

Wow! Food is amazing here! We tried 2 different dosas and they were both terrific! Restaurant is very clean and service is very good. Honey balls are you served warm and a real treat!

Found this nice little place while we were shopping at Stoneridge mall. We haven't have dosas for a long time and this place definitely checks all the boxes. Decent portions and very good prices, makes this a very good (and healthy) lunch option. We had the Combo 6 and the Mumbai Jini Dosa. Both of them were packed of flavor. The masala dosa has a milder taste while the Mumbai Jini Dosa's packs a punch in terms of spice and flavor. The only but were the bathrooms, your shoes feel sticky when you walk in there, which is a sign to clean your bathrooms

Idly 65, potato samosas
Jessica D.

Stoneridge Mall has been my go-to shopping center for decades and we were craving Indian food for dinner while doing some returns. We sat down at a booth (it was pretty empty inside) and struggled throughout our whole meal to get a waiter's attention. We ended up trying the idly 65 (my boyfriend did not like this at all and wouldn't recommend it), potato samosas (I didn't like the dough here), a masala dosa which I enjoyed, and a mango lassi which was hands down the best mango lassi I've ever had. Every time we stop by Stoneridge, I now ask for a mango lassi to go.

Food was okay but service is pretty bad. Waitstaff never makes eye contact with customers so you have to literally stand up and flag them down. No specific instructions on anything. Left sitting at my table for almost 10 minutes only to learn that one is expected to walk up to the front to pay. Then there was the ridiculous interaction when I pointed at my empty glass and asked for some more diet coke. The guy said, do you want to refill or do you want a new diet coke? I said, I'd like a refill please. He says, I'm sorry we don't do refills. Then there are the sick customers. I was literally sitting at a booth surrounded by three families who were violently hacking and coughing. No one was covering their mouth. All in all this was a very unpleasant dining experience. I won't be back. They're getting two stars not one because the food tasted okay. I'm wishing I had eaten at California Pizza kitchen, right across the sidewalk.

Andhra Karam Dosa
Prath C.

We came here on a Saturday night for dinner. The ambiance was lively and there was little wait and we were seated promptly. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We ordered the Andhra Karam Dosa and the Matka Dosa. The Andhra Karam Dosa was delicious and the spiciness hit just right. That and the combination of the four different chutneys available were absolutely delicious and flavorful. The Matka Dosa looked super aesthetic but I found it be slightly on the blander side (even with the filling) but with the chutneys did help add flavor to the dosa. Overall, I really enjoyed my food and experience here and will be back in the future to try more options from the menu.

Excellent service with amazing food! The staff were so welcoming! I ordered the paneer biryani and…read moremy husband ordered the chili garlic noodles with chicken. When I was advised that the biryani was spicy, I offered to order a different entree, but he said he was happy to make sure mine was medium spice instead. It was perfect! A nice flavorful spice that I LOVED! They did not skimp on the paneer, the portions, or the flavor. My husband's noodle dish was not overly oily like other places. It was full of flavor and generous with the meat. It seemed like this place had a bustling takeout and catering business, but it is worth it to eat inside for the great service and interesting things on TV.

Something has definitely changed here--whether it's the chef or the overall process, we're not…read moresure--but the food quality has degraded significantly. They have also reduced the portion sizes by using much smaller to-go curry boxes. We've been noticing this consistently over the past two months. The biryani is always extremely spicy now, regardless of whether we order mild or medium. We have kids at home who love biryani, so we always order mild, but lately it's overloaded with spices, to the point where you can barely find any plain rice on top. The Manchurian gravies are overly tangy. We also ordered chili chicken and chili prawn--both were soggy, overly spicy, and tasted like the masala was raw. Half of the butter naan we received was undercooked. Previously, the chicken tikka masala was made with chicken thighs, which were flavorful and tender, but this time it was made with chicken breast--hard, chewy, and lacking the rich flavor it used to have.
