They opened at 5, we came in at 5:30 since kids wanted dosas for dinner. We had to ask multiple times to get the menus (they only had one copy with no prices, and the people at the other table were waiting for us to order so they could get the only copy of the menu). The bar code on the table didn't work. None of the menus had dosas, so we asked when the lady came out. She said they only start dosas at 6, even though they open at 5. Disappointment for our kids that were hungry for dosas after their school day. We left to get our dosas somewhere else. We live close by so wanted to try it, but after this experience will think twice before coming back. read more

This was a take out at a different location. Now they have opened a small restaurant near santa clara university. This is a authentic North karnataka restaurant, which has a unique style and taste, dish name may be similar to Bangaloe or karnataka restaurants but has unique taste. Masala Mirchi bajji though they are similar to that available at Ulavacharu but this are made differently. Chilli is fried and it has peanuts and puffed rice along with carrot onions. Different taste and not spicy either. Davangere Benne dosa. Davangere is a place in North Karntaka from where benne dosa originated. Again this will taste different than what is available restaurants like mylapore. Dosa melts in your mouth it is accompained by coconut chutney and potato masala both are not spicy. Open Dosa is simolar to benne dosa but showered with chutney powder. This a family run restaurant authentic and homely food. Service is slow as they made to order with most of the items. read more

Tried this place for the first time, hoping to be adventurous and try a new restaurant while we were extremely hungry. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a disappointing experience. The portion sizes of the curries in the thali were ridiculously small. There were also numerous flies around our table, which made the dining experience quite unpleasant. To make matters worse, our second thali order was mistakenly delivered to another table, and no one bothered to apologize for the delay or acknowledge the mistake. Overall, the service and experience fell well below expectations. read more

We heard about the place thro reels and had eaten at friends places once in while. We wanted to eat the Girmit, maddur vade on demand and this place had it. We went early on a weekend so that the rush doesn't build up. We were there with friends and it was a good decision. We also added teh thali so that it can become like a dinner for us. We were able to share the dishes and make it a dinner for us. The price is on the higher side but it's a speciality item and so there is a premium attached to this cuisine. the service and staff are good. They also have different menus for the weekend vs the weekdays. This will give you different taste or choice. Good to go multiple times. It's a small place but clean and can seat different group sizes. read more

I've driven past this place so many times and was excited to finally try. I didn't know what all the dishes were that were listed only in the menu inside as it changes daily from what I understood. I had read about the thali but it seems they were out so I ended up getting the masala puri. It came out piping hot and was tasty. Lots of flavor albeit on the spicer side, even as someone with a medium high spice tolerance. I think the price was a bit on the higher side compared to the portion. I would come back to try other dishes. read more

The best Karnataka food in the Bay Area , Bangalore masala puri or jowar roti and obbatu just tastes like home

I picked up lunch from here a few times and the food is consistently good. The meal combo is well balanced with rice, veggies and lentils. They use minimal plastic for meal combo packaging which is great. read more

Authentic Karnataka if u want to see, come here ! It feels like we are in Karnataka while ordering madakki, masala puri , I love it!

Great authentic food from Karnataka region in India. Especially the Girmit and zunka. Would try more dishes there read more

Fantastic masala puri and Maddir vade. Suggi Oota has been our go to place for authentic Kannadiga specialities!

Very good food, with subtle flavors. It makes you feel nostalgic! Definitely try Sambar, dal and Maddur vada.

Masala Vadas were freshly made and excellent, for curry they took an order for tindora curry but gave us gavar (cluster beans curry that dis not look/taste very fresh.. i only checked after i got home), daal was undercooked not well done .. although spiced well and preparation was tasty. North Indian biryani again was tasty as it was spiced well... but hardly any veggies in it, just spiced colored rice! Overall decent food but consistency and giving customers what they order will make it a much better experience. read more

All fixed! I gave them a 1 star fur moving out of range, they fixed it. Thank you suggi oota. We love you.. Again! I genuinely love the food, it's as close to home cooked as it can get. read more

Ordered after a long time, order again missing maddur vada. Nothing has changed, terrible and unprofessional as usual

Amazing Food, Agonizing Delivery The food itself? Five stars, no question. It's incredible. The problem is the absolute pain of getting it delivered. For months now, whether I use Doordash or Uber Eats, the delivery times are just excessive. I remember when they first started offering delivery, it was pretty reasonable. Now, it seems like they can't handle the orders. Delivery drivers themselves complain about major delays and long waits at this specific store. It's a shame because the kitchen is clearly putting out great stuff, but the delivery side is a letdown. They really need to sort out their service if they're going to continue offering delivery, as it's becoming too unreliable. read more

Suggi Oota operates as a ghost kitchen, as are a bunch of others in this location. This is a nice upgrade in the before-times where you had to place orders 2+ days ahead of time. Thankfully not nearly as bad as it was then, but Suggi Oota's take out process wasn't the smoothest either. That said, food was received well and everything was neatly packed and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Light on the stomach, yet well balanced in flavors (though it does skew more towards more subtle tastes). Though their operation is based in the same takeout kitchen space as several other restaurants, they don't seem to be operating on the same system. This means they don't use the lockers and you actually have to call Suggi Oota directly to bring your order out. This is actually posted there, but you have to notice or you'll be just left waiting...so definite caution. I'm quite the novice to North Karnataka cuisine, but my humble opinion was that the food itself was pretty good, with everything being generally fresh and flavorful, though on the less seasoned side for some dishes. I can't exactly name the dishes too well, but very fresh and 'healthy' (minimal salt and grease). If you can't handle spicy as well... you'll probably miss out on a lot of the flavor as the spicy paste was remarkably potent and added a nice complexity to the dishes. I also probably didn't eat them 'correctly', but hey it was a pleasant meal. That said, you may need to stir up some of the soup containers for full flavor due to settling, as the lentil soup (?) certainly needed it. The dessert was a lovely rice pudding with noodles (of some sort) and heavy notes of cinnamon and cardamom. read more

Delayed order. Poor communication. Have tried them twice: Food is quite homely and tastes good. I'm not sure if it's Value for money for the quantity. Food could be proportionately better to make it a complete meal. Replaced Masale Bath with Jeera Rice, as they were out of stock; but there was not enough side to eat the excess jeera rice with. Overall, they is scope for improvement. read more

$9.99 for this much Kesari Bath (more like Sajigge) :( They have a chow chow bath option that is $13.99 and it comes with one spoon of Khara Bath and one spoon of Kesari Bath??? read more

I love the food, feel like home cooked! Masala puri, Flavored rice and Girmit is the best, also maddur vada is just crispy and awesome !! I would highly recommend this place. Service is pretty quick as well. read more

Suggioota is one of the few restaurants I truly feel comfortable ordering from -- their food is healthy, light on the stomach, and always satisfying. I recently tried their North Karnataka meal, and every item was absolutely delicious and packed with authentic flavors. We also regularly order their dosa and idly batter, which is freshly prepared and free from preservatives. It's become a staple in our kitchen. Highly recommend Suggioota for anyone looking for wholesome, home-style South Indian food! read more

We order from here regularly. It's home made, Karnataka food - they have north Indian option also. The quantity is a little less but food is not overly spicy and oily like restaurants. The take out place is a run down location in San Jose. My daughter said the food feels like I have come to a friend's house for dinner. That's a great compliment. This is closest you will get to home made, Karnataka food. We always order the weekly thalis - combo meals. read more

Hello there, First I have ordered suggi oota in san jose. I felt like having home food. Very delicious holige oota( very good lunch). I really liked it. Thanks read more

We regularly order food from Suggi oota and have also tasted their catered meals at private parties in the bay area. Karnataka food isn't the easiest to find around here, but Suggi oota is hands down the best I've had. True to the name, the food is absolutely festive. The rice item + chapathi-sabji menu on weekdays are delicious and have a home cooked taste. Special mention to their spicing that hits all the right notes on my palette. There's good variety in the weekly menu, the portion sizes are great and the pricing seems fair (esp in the post-covid era). The only (non) complaint I have is I wish they had a sit down place to complete the sense of nostalgia and cultural immersion. I hope they open one soon! :) The food is all vegetarian, but I would gladly recommend it even to my non-vegetarian friends! read more

Disclaimer. I didn't order the food nor pay for it. I attended an event where Suggi Oota catered food. It was Karnataka cuisine which I don't see a lot of in the Bay Area. An extra star just for that. What was good. Mango Chitranna, Dal vada especially with dill leaves ( very good), holige (a little oily), rasam, moong dal + raw mango salad( kosambari, it was the best) and simple homemade pickle. What was not so great - some eggplant curry which the kids found too spicy and I thought lacked flavor. Would I order from them personally - most likely not till they fix the issues with the website. It needs a lot of effort and navigation to order. Every time I try it says the order is full and there is no potential for pre order nor a clear indication of what I will get as part of the menu. read more

Whether it's a small function at home or regular meals on a random day this is our first go to place..never disappointed us anytime..we even ordered in bulk for a function at home and food quality was top notch.. Ranjani is a great cook.. read more

I ordered meals from suggioota on my recent visit to Bay Area. I didn't want to miss it at any cost after seeing those divine looking food posts on Instagram. I was thrilled to know that the folks are from my hometown Davangere and wanted to show support and solidarity in my own little way by ordering food for my friends too. The food reminded me of HEALTHY (CLEAN) HOME COOKED FOOD and made me appreciate the simplicity of North/ Central Karnataka food. SIMPLICITY IS TRULY UNDERRATED! That said, I can't wait to order special festive meals when I'm in town the next time. Big shout out to this woman-owned small business!! Wishing you all the success Ranjini, you deserve it! read more

Good masala puri. Close to Karnataka taste but gets sold out too soon. They should keep it open and available for longer hours read more

Everything I tasted was 5 stars! Felt very much like the food you'd get in Bangalore. Their food gets done pretty quick so get in the pre order early. The pick up experience can be more streamlined, as they right now operate at a ghost kitchens and you need to call them up and wait. read more

Great food for nostalgic Bangalore-Mysore food: ambode, bele obbattu, Saaru, veg bhath and many more.

Ordered their food for an event for the first time and they did not disappoint. The food was fresh, packaging was clever and neat to maintain freshness and delivery was smooth and on time. Ordered the bele holige festive thali and it was indeed a festive spread which had everything your mom would make back home on a festival. Did not feel bloated which usually happens when you eat food from outside. Ranjini was extremely easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to ensure everything goes well. Would highly recommend them for ordering in bulk or even in regular quantities. It's a good change than the otherwise usual roti curries. We have also been ordering food on weekdays when we could not cook at home yet wanted something like homemade food and this place was perfect. Go for it :) read more

Extremely expensive and not worth the hype . The food is not something out of the world and yet the quality is good but not worth $25 for a lunch hardly sufficient fit a person read more

Authentic Karnataka food in Bay Area. If you are looking for tasty, home-like food then this is the place. A good proportion of a variety of items. I highly recommend trying "special habbada holige oota" on Saturdays. read more

I am a huge fan on suggi oota food. Have been catering from here from all our events at home. The north Karnataka food is the best in the area. But, the reason for my rating is they are wayyy overpriced for the kind of service they offer. They have missed several items from my order every time I have ordered. Majige which is part of the thali I have never received. The pickles was missed once. The papad was missed once. Usually most caterers often a lot of food. If I order for 15 people I can easily Serve upto 16-18 people. With suggi oota an order of 15 doesn't even serve 15 people well. Not just that, the owner forgot my order the day of the event. I called her to check for my order the morning of the event, and she acted like she's never heard of me before! We had 30 people waiting on food while the lady figured out some on the spot menu for the event. Sooo not cool! I will not be ordering from them if they don't offer value for the price. I am okay paying $25 a plate if it is what I ordered, if it includes all the items and it's delivered and packaged well. They have to get their service or order processing together for me to consider them again. I don't recommend catering from them. Maybe try their meal if u r really craving some Karnataka food. Not trustworthy. read more

While i checked the menu I was really excited to try north Karnataka food since I come from north Karnataka ,taste was good but not as much as I expected ,I also felt the prices are on higher side for Friday meal ,less of chapati and more of rice (no jolad roti ) But for holige I may order again . read more

Terribly spicy overpriced food! Extremely rude, careless & unprofessional owners! Long waits for pickups & Order mixups! - That sums up my experiences at Suggi Oota. Their so-called "home style cooking" gives me upset stomach every time I eat their food. never going back here! read more

Picked up the Holige Oota thali for Friday's dinner. This was my first time diving into food from North Karnataka. It all sounded great while scrolling through their online menu. My friend and I each ordered one thali for our Friday dinner. Once picked up and brought home, we immediately opened our meals. My friend especially from North Karnataka was very excited to find his home food. Our thali consisted of lemon rice, white rice, one chapati, one holige, kattina saru (rasam), one ambode, pickle, and shikarne (mango ras). We were extremely disappointed to find no majjige (buttermilk) with our thalis especially, after that 30 minute drive to the restaurant for pickup. The thali was around $20 and I sure did not expect it to have a missing item. To dive in deeper, the quantity of white rice was significant in comparison to the rest of the items. The picture on their website for Friday's dinner is extremely deceiving as it shows a greater quantity of pickle, looks to be ghee on the side, 4 baby papads, and majjige (buttermilk). They really need to work on updating their picture for Holige Oota Friday's dinner on their website and their Facebook page. My friend and I had to make something close to majjige to fulfill that buttermilk craving that was incomplete in this meal as unfortunately, it was not provided. Hopefully, they improve on this and we may be able to give it a second chance. For now, I would not recommend a visit for that price point. read more

I would suggest you call her today and get this set up even if you have your mom with you. Thank you Ranjini aka Annapurna Devi read more

We ordered a typical Karnataka menu for our birthday and it was just amazing. The masala puri on a rainy day just elevated the food experience. The sweetness of Kashi halwa (Dumroot), the right spices for palak paneer, and soft chapatis, just made all our guests super happy. Everything was freshly prepared, with high-quality items and on-time delivery. We are very happy we went with Suggi Oota for catering and looking forward to many such events. read more

I ordered the jolad rotti oota and it surely lived up to my expectation. I discovered Suggi Oota one day when I was craving jolad rotti. It's a shame they don't always make it! They have a weekly rotating special meals menu I believe. The jolad rotti oota came with ennegai (brinjal curry), payasa (rice kheer), sambar, rice pulav, raita and kosambari (salad). Everything tasted great and I will surely order again. read more
