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 Idly Express location is amazing and has a dine-in option unlike their other locations. The Mylapore Special Thali (available only for lunch until 3:00 PM) is fresh, well-balanced, and features a rotating menu. The ambience is nice, the restaurant is well-maintained, and the service is both friendly and quick.

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. Everything feels light on the body, which tells me of good ingredients and good preparation. Only thing I’d say is things are a bit on the bland side, but I totally understand the reasoning. 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.

Idly Express in Mountain View turned out to be an absolute delight—one of those rare spots where every single dish feels thoughtfully prepared and bursting with authentic South Indian comfort. I ordered the Sambar‑dipped Idly, Sambar‑dipped Vada, Ghee Podi Thatte Idly, and the Onion–Tomato–Chili Uttapam, and each item was genuinely outstanding.

The Sambar‑dipped Idly was soft, fluffy, and soaked beautifully in their aromatic sambar, making every bite warm, hearty, and deeply satisfying. The Sambar Vada was equally impressive—crispy edges softened just enough by the sambar, creating that perfect contrast of texture and flavor that’s hard to get right.

The Ghee Podi Thatte Idly was a showstopper. The generous drizzle of ghee, combined with the bold, fragrant podi, made it rich, comforting, and absolutely addictive. It’s the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after the meal is over.

The Onion Tomato Chili Uttapam was fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced—crispy on the outside, soft inside, and topped with just the right mix of tangy tomatoes, sweet onions, and a gentle chili kick. It tied the whole meal together beautifully.

Overall, the food was super tasty, fabulously flavorful, and truly “to die for.” Every dish showcased authentic taste, great consistency, and a level of care that makes Idly Express stand out among South Indian eateries in the Bay Area. A fantastic spot for anyone craving soulful, delicious South Indian comfort food.

Let me start by saying that I love Mylapore and Idli Express and love their Masala Dosa and Mysore Pak.
This one experience left me a little disappointed. The product had passed its best by date but was still on the counter, but more importantly, we were told that the onus is on us to check if a product has passed its date and then buy it. In the past, I would just buy without worrying to see the dates and had high regard for quality, but now I have to carefully check a product in Mylapore.
2 reasons for this review – 1 for people to be aware and verify before buying and 2 for management to be aware as I know the bar for quality in Mylapore is very high.

The food feels like home made food. We are here at least twice a week. The service is great, they are really nice. The food comes really fast. My kids love the sambar and chutney. The dollops of ghee in the Pongal gives an amazing flavor. Go here and order anything, you won’t be disappointed. Really glad to have this place in Mountain View. It’s our default go to place for awesome South Indian food.

This place consistently dishes out great food! We love their regular offerings and recently learned about the $5 specials after 3pm where they put out a new dish that is not on their standard menu. The servers are attentive and the place has a positive vibe. There is plenty of parking outside the restaurant and indoor seating.

Elaborate and tasty lunch thali. The sambar, rasam and kuttu were perfectly executed.

Thair sadam and pickle was so good we went for repeat

The only thing lacking was service – had to wait for a long time for someone to come to our table for seconds. The restaurant was not full but the service was still lacking.

Overall go for the food for sure

We frequent Idly Express – Almost there every week!
Comfort food with great flavor. Everything tastes great and we are big fans of the Badam Milk, Ratna Cafe Sambar Idly and the Samosa.
The $5 specials are a great way to try out new dishes.

The service is exceptional and they keep the place super neat!
