A great restaurant. Only vegetarian. The flavors and the quality of the food is amazing. Every dish was good. Pongal, Upma, Dosa and Poori everything was amazing. If you are around this place you should definitely go. Parking is a bit scarce. So be mindful. Overall a great place for a great price. The flavors won’t disappoint you.

Restaurant.
Has been open for about 3 months. Limited parking outside. There are about 13-15 tables inside. They have a mens and women’s bathroom. Friendly staff with great service.
Food
Pani Puri. The water wasn’t that spicy, it was tasty. For stuffing I’m used to potatoes and onions. They had lentils which could be a popular style in some areas. The sweet chutney was really sweet and tasty.
Mysore Masala Dosa with the masala on the side.
Warm, hot and ready to eat. Didn’t wait too long for the food to arrive. All the items we ordered was freshly made. The texture of the masala was different than I’m used to and wasn’t too bad. The sambar could’ve had a little more flavor of spicy and salty also, a bigger portion of the sambar would’ve been nice. I’m not sure if they offer complimentary sambar if asked. The 4 chutneys were fine nothing too special about them.
Chai
Regular chai, nothing special about it.
Overall, I’d visit again to try their other items.

We visited Meenakshi Bhavan for dinner following a friend’s recommendation. It is a relatively new spot specializing in South Indian cuisine, and we had a good experience. The food was great, and the service was quick and friendly.
Dishes we tried:
– Ghee Onion Rava Masala Dosa (5/5): large portion size, dosa felt light and it was delicious.
– Vegetable Kothu Paratha (5/5): good flavor with plenty of vegetables.
– Guntur Chilli Masala Dosa (4/5): Very large portion size and it was ok. If you are looking to try Dosas, Rava dosa is a better choice over this.

Authentic South Indian vegetarian restaurant. Loved every dish we tried some brought back memories from childhood. Their pani puri was my most favorite . Their dosas are very authentic both masala and rava dosa were delicious. Pav Bhaji was perfect too. Their upma was so much like mom made comfort food .
Highly recommend!

Great South Indian dishes, at extremely affordable prices. We had a combo 3, the vada was freshly made and kasri was delicious. The rava masala dosa, with onions was yummy. Among the three chutneys, the one with peanut and spicy one were great. The sambar idli was warm and soft. Service was excellent.

My wife, granddaughter and me went over on Friday for a late lunch. I ordered the Thali with coffee and my wife ordered the Ghee Onion Rava Masala Dosa. Granddaughter had the strawberry lassi.
First of – this place is reasonably priced and hits the price sweet spot for me. The filter coffee for $3 is good. I have had better- but this place it was good.
The thali came with mint rice, white rice, dal, potatoes poriyal, opo kootu, rasam, curds, lemon pickle, papad, poori and sweet. The quantity was good for an individual. I have one feedback for the establishment- please add one more vegetable poriyal to the menu. The potato fry though fantastic would have been well complemented.
The Rava dosa along with the 3 chutneys and sambar was good as well. I especially liked the tomato chutney a lot.
The service was exemplary- hence the 5 star rating.
Great place that I would revisit as well as recommend.

We thought we’d give Meenakshi Bhavan a shot. I kicked things off with a spicy mirchi and coffee, which were absolutely delicious. I also loved the kal dosa combo (the idly could have been a bit more), but it was still super tasty with chutney and sambar. It really brought back memories of my India days. The paneer kothu parotta was so homely and satisfying.

Pure Veg South Indian Restaurant opened 3 weeks ago. Excellent/ fresh Mane (homemade) Oota (food) with super friendly staffs & great service. Very promising eat out for breakfast, lunch and dinner with all kinds of dosas, upmas, uthapam, idlies, thali and combos. Prove me wrong otherwise.

I visited the newly opened Minakshi Bhavan on Stevens Creek Blvd in San Jose, and I was really impressed. We tried the Rava Dosa and Paneer Masala Dosa both were extremely delicious and perfectly crispy. The sambar and chutneys tasted very authentic, just like back home in India, and they even offer unlimited chutneys and sambar with the dosa.
The dining area is clean and comfortable, the menu prices are reasonable, and the staff is very friendly. Overall, a great experience. Thank you, Minakshi Bhavan! Highly recommended.
