Idly Express - Mountain View

Absolutely delicious idli sambhar and vada. I tried this restaurant for the 1st time and was very impressed with all the employees, the cleanliness of the place, prompt service and good. Everyone from front desk to server were very humble and kind. The food is very adequately priced and service was quick. They will even provide free refills of sambhar and chutney. Loved there filter coffee too. I went back the second day just for their filter coffee. I will definitely go back whenever I am in the area

This is one of the well-known local Tamilian chains in the Bay Area, and I stopped by this location to pick up brunch. I had placed my order through Uber Eats and didn’t have time to sit and eat, so I opted for takeout. That said, the space itself looked sleek and modern while still maintaining a traditional touch.

This place is legit. Delicious, soft-but-crispy dosas slathered with butter, great idlis, sambar, chutneys. Good filter coffee. Cute decorations, clean facilities, fast and efficient service.

Nicely done!

I’m a regular customer to Idly express Milpitas. They have really good food. But here Dosa is not at all fully cooked, felt like eating batter.
