Chennai Tiffins Indian Restaurant 2690 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA 95051

"We came on weekend and it was not busy but you to wait for the dosai and they still the order wrong. It was great to sample varieties of dosai but the quality was just average"

"We had a variety of unlimited Kerala appam from this restaurant , which was delightful. We also had different types of dosas and bajjis. The dosas were particularly delicious, but unfortunately, the bajji was below average. Our main complaint is that the place is never clean; the tables and chairs are very old and in need of refurbishment, giving the whole place a neglected appearance. Additionally, the service was not satisfactory, as it lacked friendliness and attentiveness towards the customers. Despite these drawbacks, the food deserves more recognition."

"We read the reviews for Star Udupi Cafe and decided to give it a try, but when we arrived, we realized it was Chennai Tiffins. The place was nearly empty, which made us wonder about the food quality. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the affordable prices on the menu. We ordered a variety of items to taste. The highlights were the Onion Rava Masala, Poori with Aloo Masala, Punukulu, and Cut Mirchi. The Gongura Dosa, Parotta with chole curry, Vada, Idly, and Aapam were average. The Mini Idly had too much ghee. It's worth noting that the Idly is not Rava Idly but the Tamil Nadu style. Unfortunately, the Upma and Kesari were disappointing. The Upma we received was reheated in the microwave and cold inside. When we mentioned it, they replaced it with a fresh plate. The Mini Tiffin Combo was supposed to include Pongal, but we received Upma instead. The Kesari was dry and tasteless, likely prepared earlier in the day. I suggest skipping the Upma and Kesari and checking if Pongal is available before ordering the combo. Despite these issues, I recommend visiting for the affordable tiffins."

"Chennai tiffins is actually the name . It was confusing when we arrived there but we still tried it and turned out to be good . Liked pungulu it was crispy and had enough sourness. Cut mirchi is spicy and I liked it Upma was served cold and we had to ask again and it turned out good. Gongura dosa is okay, onion Rav’s masala dosa is very good . Appam with veg Kurma is decent . Didn’t like the mini idly and vada Overall a good place with budget friendly pricing and decent ambience"

"Pretty ordinary South Indian food. It’s Chennai Tiffin, the place is no longer called Udipi Cafe, from older posts looks like it might be new management. The food quality was quite sad, but I gave a 3 star instead of 1 or 2, just because they took time and cooked everything fresh. The Veg Thali content was weak, rice was not cooked properly. I ordered a Bombay Masala on recommendation from the owner/manager that it would be nice and spicy. It was neither. It even had less salt so it was not possible to eat without the chutney. Talking about Chutney, the coconut chutney was made from stale coconut and had the bad taste of stale coconut. Masala Dosa was very very ordinary too. I won’t go to the place again or would not recommend anyone."
