Idly Express

"This one's the best for authentic South Indian food in east bay! I love all the items that I've tried here. Mini Tiffin and Hot lunch with rice are the best items on their menu in my opinion. The chutney and sambar are very authentic. For the price we pay, they could offer slightly more quantity though (especially the chutneys). Sambar, Rasam, Kootu and Curry are very tasty too! Highly recommend. Really wish they offer dine in though."

"Ordered idly, vada and pongal. Definitely any of these items are not fresh, idly and vada has very bland taste…. No taste nothing. Gave two chutneys,,, both the chutneys are not good, used bad coconut powder( which has unpleasant odour) i can see l ot n lots of urad dal in chutney ( iam sure they gave us leftover chutney) posted images on the same…. Pongal tasted like normal white rice with dal,, no taste , no flavour, no ghee nothing….waste of money and time."

"We tried the Masala Vada with coconut chutney, the flavor was mild and it reminds you of the vadas back home. It goes well with the tea! Some of the dishes are available at certain times, check out the specials menu and timings before visiting."

"After indulging in countless culinary adventures showcased on Jay's Facebook Live videos, I finally had the pleasure of savoring the renowned Thatte Idly and Medhu Vada Sambar at Idly Express in Fremont. To say that my experience exceeded expectations would be an understatement. Nestled in the heart of Fremont, this establishment not only offers exceptional cuisine but also boasts an impressively efficient and amiable staff. Placing my order was a breeze, and I was pleasantly surprised when my takeout was ready in just 10 minutes! Even the kids were thoroughly impressed, with one of them exclaiming, "This is the best Medhu Vada I've ever tasted, and the Idly is like nothing I've ever had before." Furthermore, the prices are quite reasonable, and the portions are delightfully generous. I'm already looking forward to returning for another mouthwatering meal. I wholeheartedly recommend that everyone, in the Bay Area and beyond, gives Idly Express (also known as Mylapore Express) a try. With multiple locations throughout the Bay Area, there's no excuse not to experience their culinary delights."

"After seeing so many posts on Instagram about this place my husband and I decided to go check it out. We got the idli vada combo and the mini tiffin. The sambar is DELICIOUS! Perfectly balance of spicy and tangy. The tomato chutney is also delicious! The idlis of course were delicious. The only two items I didn't care for were the pongal and kesari. Both had waaay too much ghee. I know that ghee is needed to make these dishes but it was just a bit too much and took away from the normally delicious flavor of the items. Seating is limited, so plan accordingly."
