FreshMe Flavors 2509 South Broadway, Santa Ana, CA 92707

"There is nothing about this place is Fresh. Sambar tastes like from previous night, stale, Puri with dripping in oil and served with some brown sweet chutney. Really? and Chole seems like mixed with precooked canned curry. disgrace to South Indian cuisine."

"We have ordered most of the menu items multiple times and everytime it was tasty, authentic and consistent [which is key for us]. The Appams were so soft, the stew and vadais were yummy. The food items remind me of eating food at home in India. Thank you for the yummy food!"

"Excellent homely food with a lot jf healthy options. Can be taken regularly without health concerns of fast food."

"A hidden gem of a take-out restaurant offering exotic Kerala/South Indian cuisine, which is rare to find in LA! I have been ordering idlis/batter from Chef Reshmi of Freshme Flavors for a few years, and I'm consistently impressed with the quality, attention, care and love that she puts into her food. It's been a real life-saver for me, and my day doesn't feel right without her idlis (steamed rice cakes) and coconut chutney, a breakfast match made in culinary heaven !! I was eager to try our their recently opened restaurant and took out a few items from their menu including thaali meals and appam with veggie stew. It was a truly a trip down memory lane; it took me on a culinary journey to the exotic shores of tropical paradise, Kerala, where I treated myself to a mini "sadya"/feast on a banana leaf!! Thanks for a scrumptious and satiating traditional Kerala meal! The aviyal, a medley of veggies in a coconut milk and yogurt base, was certainly the masterpiece closely followed by stir-fried cauliflower/potato dish! The appams (pancakes made of fermented rice batter) were soft , fluffy and delicious. It paired well with the veggie stew, a unique Kerala dish in a coconut milk base with spices like pepper and cardamom. I would love to try the appams with their popular egg curry. Friends, Angelenos, food aficionados, Arise and awake to the wonderful aromas and flavors of Kerala cuisine, tastefully and lovingly brought to you by Shef Reshmi! Trust me, there is nothing like it in the whole universe and your culinary journey is incomplete until you have tasted it ! If you are unsure, check out food blogger, Mark Wiens's videos on YouTube!!"
