    Kids Cheese Dosa
    Sarah T.

    Great vegetarian restaurant! We walked in one evening looking to experience southern Indian food, and were blown away. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. They made great suggestions and made us feel good about trying things. We did go with gobi manchurian which we knew would be good for us. Kids cheese dosa was a great way to introduce kids to the menu. And for adults, a masala dosa which was very flavorful and a nice spiciness. all of the 3 dipping sauces were delicious, my favorite is the light orange one. We also tried the mini idly which came with a creamy cucumber sauce. Delicious. The restaurant had plenty of seating. Clean tables and napkins already at the tables. The decor was minimal with posters on the walls.

    My unlimited vegetarian banana leaf virundhu experience today at Sri Lakshmi Cafe with my husband was nothing short of a warm hug and embrace encapsulated by heart warming soulful home style food by a beautifully run family restaurant. Everything from palli podi to payasam was forst set up on a big table to distribute amongst patrons. The buffet timing was advertised as 11:30 am but the buffet service started only after 12 pm as they were still prepping certain food dishes. We did not mind waiting at all since the vibe was homely and it felt as though we were visiting someone's home. The whole vibe and experience was very comforting to me. I love spicy food. Having said that, they had a curd chili to spice things up since the dishes were low in spice level. This helps people who love spicy food level up their food in terms of heat. The kerela koottu, onion pakora and other accompaniments were simply awesome. They were flavorful and wholesome. The banana kari rice and boiled rice were served hot. Rasam, sambhar and dal were served hot too. Everything including sweets was unlimited. There was a tasty halwa and payasam to end the meal and both sweets were delightful. Their hospitality was everything! It felt like friends and family serving us. We will continue to visit them. Loved the vibe and the banana leaf experience. PS: I loved the bhajans, the whole vibe and the fact that they have a wash basin installed in a separate area for patrons to wash their hands after eating with their fingers. Loved it all!

    A friend suggested I try their weekend special banana leaf unlimited lunch, and as someone who loves authentic Indian food, I couldn't resist. Believe me, every single item they served tasted heavenly. From the biryanis and curries to the chutneys and snacks, everything was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. The variety and authenticity of the spread truly impressed me. The only area that could use some improvement is the service. It was a bit slow, and I had to ask multiple times for a few items that were included in the menu. A little more attentiveness from the staff would make the experience even better. That said, the quality of the food more than made up for it. This place deserves a big shout-out for serving such an authentic and delicious Indian feast. If you're a fan of traditional Indian flavors and generous spreads, the weekend banana leaf meal is absolutely worth trying.

    Had lunch at Sri lakshmi cafe in banana leaf. After so many years and the food was amazing. It is unlimited food.

    Great Ghee Podi Dosa. Good add to Milpitas South Indian Tiffins Scene.

    Great add to Milpitas South Indian Vegetarian Scene. Dosa and chutneys were great. Would've preferred hotter sambar but will give a pass. Will visit again!

    Delicious food in very good quantity, a lovely space, very calm and welcoming with attentive service! We stopped in on a whim as they had just opened in this location and everything we ordered was fantastic! Very reasonable prices and the food is extremely fresh! They make sure not to use anything frozen. We will definitely go again!

    Kadai Paneer
    Alec W.

    Delicious kadai paneer and naan, and very friendly service! Also enjoyed the mango lassi which tasted like fresh mangoes. It's nice that they make an effort to use natural ingredients and no artificial colorings.

I got an unfortunate sense that the waiters were impatient with us, but the food came out about 15-20 minutes later. We unfortunately did not like the items as much. The Galbijim was small for the pricing, and flavor is comparable to other Korean restaurants nearby. We also got a bimbimbap that was fine, could be more flavorful in terms of the bulgogi and also expensive. The seafood pancake was good and crispy though! Unfortunately I am not sure if we will come back, but I am glad we tried!

The inside has tons of seating available and bright natural lighting. We came on a weeknight during their happy hour (!!), which is 20% off appetizers every week night between 3-6pm. Our party of three ordered mainly apps, and only deviated off that section to try their tea leaf salad :P Fried tofu - crisp and light Coconut chicken with palatha - sweeter curry, loved the flakiness and thicc-ness of the paratha Lamb curry with palatha - hearty curry sauce Salt and pepper chicken - dino nugget-esque with a nice crunch and perfect seasoning and didn't actually need the dipping sauce it comes with. Note: the dipping sauce does contain fish Chicken lettuce cups - fine taste, no notes Veg samosas - fine also, basic Tea leaf salad - ordered for the health and textural crunch. So delicious Service was good. Our waitress was very informative in each dish and also quite attentive with refiling waters. Overall, great meal and would love to return to try their mains.

The Chinese sausage pieces sprinkled throughout added extra flavor too. The bowl is deep so there seemed to be roughly 5 cups of rice. Unfortunately the laksa shrimp fried rice was disappointing in comparison. It didn't have much flavor overall - better than plain rice but definitely needed more seasoning. The menu lists homemade laksa sauce as an ingredient but we didn't taste that, and the dish wasn't spicy at all either despite the 1 chili pepper rating.

Okay, today we got the following. It was more than enough for all us light eaters. Actually, I was surprised how much we all actually ate, compliments to the chef. Beef Shawarma - Tender beef, good mix of beef and veggies. Good flavors. Chicken Shawarma - My plate, I finished most of it and had my daughter finish the rest. I got rice, falafel (my daughter ate 3.5 of the 4, lol), and fries as sides. I could have used more fries, but that was probably a good thing I did not. Mansaf - The lamb was so tender. My daughter took half of this to-go. Lamb Shawarma - Again, a very tender lamb Salmon - Was okay, the healthier choice. Tender, I would have preferred it less cooked. Salad - Another healthy choice. Lamb Kebab - A more hearty lamb. Actually this is my preference over a tender lamb. Tabsi Salmon - Again, I would have preferred the salmon less cooked. Was not dry, but would have preferred it to be more tender. Sides we all shared - Hummus, lentil soup, rice, falafel, fries, veggies, salad, carrot walnut (this was actually really good), freeken, etc. Dessert - Baklava assorted; my daughter took all of this to go... She did NOT share with the group, lol. Drinks - Mango Yogurt, Pine/App/Lem/Mint Juice, Franziskaner Hefe (can you believe I did NOT drink today :) ) , mint lemonade, fountain drinks, etc. Overall, the food was good. Ambiance - Huge location. Not busy at all. They closed the "private" room right after we got here. Nice decor, this used to be a Mexican restaurant. Plenty of seating. But we did have to move some tables around to accommodate our 9 person group. Full bar. See pictures. Plenty of mall parking - Be safe; see the sign of car break ins. Open 7 days a week - 11am to 9pm or 9:30pm. Clean bathrooms. Well, they are NOT signing the log; see pictures. Service - Counter service. Self service - Drinks, napkins, and sauces. We have to walk back up to counter for more utensils. Bus your own tables, etc. Price - $261 + tip; our generous friends paid!!! Thank you! Averaged $30 per person which was not bad for what we got. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success and with your 6 locations.
