    Vegan Set Dosa (2)
    Yash T.

    TLDR : Great food, quick service, limited places to sit Tried Surya Darshini Cafe based on a recommendation from a friend. Loved everything that we ordered. Tried the benne mysore masala and the set dosas with filter coffee. Such great dosas and even the korma was just awesome. Definitely must visit!

    So good! My daughter was craving masala dosa for so long and we finally stopped to enjoy it together. We've spent a lot of time in India and she loves South Indian food. Even though dosas aren't my fave Indian food, these were delicious! It's a pickup order/takeout environment with places to seat and eat if you want. Our bellies are happy!

    A go-to place for healthy and authentic South Indian food! The Benne Mysuru Masala Dosa is perfectly crispy, the Set Dosa and Idlis are soft and fluffy, and the Filter Coffee is smooth and flavorful. The batter is soaked, stone-ground, and naturally fermented, with no soda, additives, or coloring agents, making every bite wholesome and delicious. The café has cozy seating, perfect for a relaxed meal. Clean hygienic place and service is too good .Highly recommended for anyone looking for healthy, authentic South Indian flavors!

    The dosa is very close to authentic bengaluru dosa, but the chutney and sambar are not that great. They taste like it's made from readymade packets. It looks like a warehouse on the inside and not very inviting. The cashier and server were very nice but it was overall too pricey, maybe because it's one of the few places that make this kind of dosa

    Super excited to have found this unique South Indian Bangalore "Darshini" style dosa...been here recently to explore this unassuming tinted glassed location in midst of corporate buildings (near great mall). Tried their crispy Benne Butter masala dosa, kesari bath and my friend tried the Vegan set dosa. Very filling and tasty akin to home made style chutneys and sambar. The grainy semolina(Sooji) kesari was tasty and less ghee unlike many other places.. Plenty of parking and it's only take out hence served in to-go box. Large space to dine right there though to savour the hot piping dosa(can't do take out dosa for me). I really hope they would sometime in future set up a full service dining spot with delish crispy dosa like CTR, Vidyarthi Bhavan classic spots in Bangalore ifykyk

    We loved the food. We ordered Benne Dosas, which were outstanding. The idlis were cloud-like fluffy and yummy as well. The ambiance is very nice and the place is spacious with options of sitting indoors or outdoors. The food is made without additives or preservatives. The family has perfected the dosa recipe with over 20 years of research and passion - it is very authentic Bengaluru style. Very clean place and kitchen, which was visible. The service was outstanding, and with smiles. Loved the food. Told so many of my friends. Will definitely go there again. Their tagline is Art of Dosa, and I can truly say Dosa made with heArt.

    Authentic Bangalore-style dosas -- crispy on the outside and soft inside, especially the Benne Masala Dosa and Mysuru variants. Owners and staff are often described as welcoming and passionate about the cuisine.

    It's located in an office complex kinda hard to find and looks like they are in the midst of remodeling inside but the dosa is legit. Thick buttery dosa with a non spicy chutney, sambar and masala. They also have a good filter coffee.

    My go to place for Bangalore style dosa. Very consistent with quality and always full of flavor.

    Came here for brunch after suggestion from a friend. From earlier pictures it showed as foodtruck but as of may 2024 they have moved into their own place. The seating is outside but doesn't have any seating inside. 4/5 butter masala Dosa - The dosa was big, a little oily but overall tasted well with the potato masala. The chutney was tasty and fresh and sambhar was decent. 5/5 Filter Coffee - this was freshly made and would recommend. 4/5 Khara buns - these are savory buns and bit hot due to pepper and onion in them and pair well with Indian chai. Overall a good place for hitting that dosa craving.

    Well! This restaurant is not for everyone- but definitely awesome for people who love this particular thick and crispy style dosa- the Bangalore style dosa. If you've grown up eating this style, read no more, go try everything from this place, you won't regret it. It's authentic to an extent that my 3 stars would make some of their fans pretty sad. Also, maybe you're not too conscious about oil/ butter like me - you will LOVE it. So go try them out :) Anyway, here I am with my honest thoughts- They have a pre order system and we ordered a takeout for Saturday afternoon and the pickup experience was pretty easy - absolutely no wait. The dosa was pretty tasty and crispy. Loved the potato masala as well. But, there were a few things which put us off - it was too buttery and when I say too much, I felt like it was almost shallow fried. Me and my partner couldn't finish 1 dosa each coz it was too heavy for us. Also, the sambar was not even mildly hot- and too less in quantity (there are two little boxes in the takeout box, one had chutney and the other had sambar. I would expect at least a 4 ounce container of sambar. Also, probably we were the unlucky ones that one side of one of the dosas was almost burnt. This restaurant today is run end to end by a couple. I wish I could support them better. Recently, they've started serving more items like idli recently. They sell khara buns as well - we couldn't try it. They were super clean and added 1 fresh napkin in each box as well. Parking is easy and they have a good number of outdoor seating available outside the pickup area.

    Good food and service. Coffee is good. Didn't dine in, only online order. Sit down ambience is not great, restaurant timings are strange.

    The benne dosa is really good. Even in the to go box, it stays crispy. Would recommend for Karnataka style dosas.

    Best Achaari chaap. Really flavorful and got to try with Rumali roti which was freshly made…read more Papadi chat was also really good. Definitely recommend both.

    Tucked away on Main Street in Milpitas, Apni Royal Kitchen is one of those spots you could easily…read moremiss--but trust me, once you find it, you'll be glad you did. As someone who's always on the lookout for authentic North Indian flavors, this place truly impressed me. They serve homestyle Punjabi food, and you can taste the authenticity in every bite. We tried the mix paratha, gobhi paratha, Afghani soya chaap, and garlic naan, and everything exceeded our expectations. The food came out piping hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious--so much so that we didn't even stop to take pictures and just jumped straight into enjoying it! The parathas were perfectly cooked--soft on the inside with just the right crisp on the outside, and generously stuffed. The Afghani soya chaap was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor--definitely a standout dish. What really stood out was how comforting and homely the food felt. It's the kind of meal that instantly reminds you of home-cooked North Indian food, made with care and love. The service is quick, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall experience. They do have a small dine-in setup, but I personally opted for takeout. If you're craving authentic Punjabi flavors in the Bay Area, this place is an absolute must-try. Hidden gem alert--you don't want to miss this one!

    I came here to order a takeaway around 6.30ish. I got spicy…read morepav bhaji, and tried the new items a vada pav and the dabeli. They hand a buzzer which will let you know when the order is ready. The order was ready quickly. The vada pav was very authentic with the dry chutney powder and the chillies. It was crispy and right amount of spicy. The dabeli was tangy and sweet and the right combo with the crispy peanuts The spicy amul pav bhaji was what brought me here. The pav was loaded with butter and spices. The bhaji was a bit large quantity and loaded with butter. The bhaji has little heavy flavor to lavang/elaichi but was good overall. Definitely gonna be back for the other new items

    I tried the classic vada pav here, and it was fresh and tasty--definitely one of the better ones…read moreI've had in the Bay Area. The garlic chutney was the perfect level of spice, and they serve the chutneys on the side instead of assembling it in the vada pav itself. The kutchi dabeli was also delicious, with a tangy chutney and flavorful masala. The spicy peanuts on the side were a nice touch too. I expected them to put the peanuts inside the dabeli though. I am not sure if they put pomegranete seeds inside the dabeli, atleast there were none in mine. The bread pattice was decent but nothing extraordinary. I've definitely had better at other food trucks in the area, so I wouldn't order it again. They also offer pav bhaji, which I didn't try this time. Out of everything I tried, the vada pav was hands down the best dish. I must add that they have plenty of seating for big and small groups so that's always a plus. And the space was very clean and well maintained. The service was quick and the order was ready within 10 minutes.
