Taste was worth it. Must try. And good place for 10-11p.
I think the service can be faster, atmosphere can be better, and prices are towards the high side. But food was so good, so I’d still give five stars. Good people and friendly. I had mysore masala dosa, and I’ll definitely go again to try other items on the menu.

Had the appam at Madhu Idiyappam Kadai and it was phenomenal. Soft, light, and tasted absolutely authentic. You can really tell it’s made with care. Highly recommend if you love good South Indian food.

We had the best Diwali party with Madhu’s live dosa counter at home. 20 varieties of dosas, filter coffee, banana bajji were all excellent. The setup was simple and did not take up much space. Madhu himself was amazing serving dosas with a smile and he clearly took pride in his service. The kicker was that he added the rava kesari (yummy!) to the menu without any additional cost!
I would highly recommend his live dosa counter to anyone looking for amazing south Indian cuisine for their party. Thank you Madhu!

The best puttu-kadala this side of the Atlantic. Honestly, it might even be either side of the Atlantic because I can’t recall ever having a better puttu-kadala.
Definitely worth the trip, even a few detours to enjoy this experience and the friendliness of the staff/owner. Can’t wait to come back and try all the other items on the menu.

We went for breakfast on Sunday morning and were pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of this place. The paniyaram, puttu and idiyappam were so authentic and delicious. The highlight was the kadalakurry. My daughter is a picky eater – she loved the paniyaram and didn’t let me grab from her plate that I had to order another. We loved the food so much that my husband drove all the way the same night to get paniyaram for dinner. And we are on our way again this weekend!

We tried Madhu Idiyappa Kadai for a quaint gathering tonight.
They were great to help us plan the quantity with the number of guest we had for dinner. They were also prompt (actually 10 mins early) in having the order ready for pickup.
Food-
Appetizer – Masala Vada and Gobi 65 were amazing –
Fresh, crispy and we should have ordered more 🙂
Entree –
idiyappam was light and perfectly steamer and reminded me of my Amma’s homemade ones.
Kadala curry was a perfect combination with Appam and Idiappam as was the Stew ( I wish they made it more like Sri Lankan Style Sothi)
Vegetable Briyani- was very well made as well and came with the perfect raita to round it off.
Next time we will try the Puttu and Pakodas, and hopefully they will add more Jaffna style curries and dishes to their menu.

The food tastes good and is very close to authentic South Indian/Kerala style. Considering we’re not in India, it’s impressive and definitely satisfying. It’s a food truck, so the atmosphere isn’t anything special, but it’s still decent overall. Great spot for tasty, homestyle food.

My husband has been looking for a good ghee podi idli for years now and we finally found it!!!
The food has an authentic taste and is always fresh. They make fresh idli for each order which is pretty amazing, I have never seen that anywhere.
The chutneys and sambhar were also fresh and tasty.
So far I only have tried Mysore masala dosa and ghee podi idli but I can’t wait to try everything else.
The buttery taste in dosa was sooo good and they were crunchy as well.
We were running late and it was closing time and they were considerate enough to adjust us in with a call. Really appreciate it!!

Madhu was the most cheerful guy. He served everyone with a warm smile and without any hesitation. It was a Dosa party. First of all he agreed to do it at a short notice. He came on time and he had to wait for us to get ready for him. Then he was serving the guests so cheerfully that everyone was enjoying the party. His food was very tasty and everyone had multiple helpings. The pineapple kesari, coconut sevai were very good and all the chutneys were fresh and mouth watering. He served a variety of dosas that everyone was trying

It’s a great find. We accidentally came across this food truck that’s tucked in at the gas station on El Camino real where the Shan restaurant and lucky’s is located. I’ve always had my pet peeves with truck food and have not had great experiences, but the food here was delicious, clean, and very authentic. We went there at around 330 PM or so, way past lunch and was not very hungry but decided to give it a try. We ordered the kuzhi paniyaram which was soft and fresh that was served with coconut chutney and idiyappam and kadala curry and ginger tea. He told us you can ask for more kadala curry if you run out. The idiyappam is made with red rice and kadala curry was mildly spiced. The tea can definitely be made better. But overall, a must try place for sure. You won’t be disappointed…
