San Idli Indian - San Diego

The BEST South Indian Food I had until the date in America!! We recently moved from New York to San Diego and we thought to give this restaurant a try. And the hands down this restaurant was worth it!! They serve the most authentic South Indian cuisine, absolutely delicious and full of flavors. Fresh cooked and served what was great! The lady at the counter (Bhavna) was very sweet and friendly. The servers were great and the service was super fast. Very clean Hydronic restaurant, amazing delicious food and great service. Very recommended!

Everything's great! If you like South Indian food, that's it! The chefs and the staff from South Indians. When we were there, every single male was Indian. The dosa were delicious, the sauces delicious. The young man behind the counter explained everything on the menu (I grew up on eating dosa but never really know the differences in each type). One of my son is lactose intolerant, another is mother allergic. He spoke to the cook and changed the sauces, so there are no nuts. When he served the plates, he did not remind us to mix, like some nuts has some lactose, so every person does not accidentally eat the other tablet (what is usually what we like to share and try all?s food). I am so impressed by the service and authenticity of spices and aromas. The best day to come is weekend where they have the special!!! $11.99 for a little everything! Do you see pictures?

It is a good place to have South Indian cuisine, there are many types of dosa available. We ordered filter coffee, Rava Dosa, Andhra Spicy Dosa, Tomato Uttapam, Ghee Dosa and Rava Kesari. Rava Dosa was a disappointment, although crispy was very hard to bite and we could feel rava in it. Rava Kesari was terrible as we had better Rava-Kesari from here before (does not know whether the quality they serve now degrades). I also felt the Ghee Dosa and Andhra spicy Dosa, although it was tasty, had too much ghee (maybe it depends on individual, but I don't like ghee so much that its drops of dosa). Uttapam was okay, no complaints. The Aloo masala (inside dosa) was Tasty, and I love the Chutneys and Sambhar here, this is strength. The filter coffee is also amazing. Prices are quite reasonable and there are plenty of parking spaces. I think they're pretty famous for their breakfast thaali that we had last time and it was really good.

We came here for a night dinner after several wonderful reviews. I had very high expectations and the restaurant lived up to its hype. We were a party of four and ordered a dosa each- a ghee masala dosa, mysore masala dosa , Andhra spicy masala dosa and a jump dosa. We also had two plates idli vada and two coffees to share among us four. The Vada was the best I had in the USA and all the Dosas were amazing. It was a bummer that they had no lava cans and Uttapams. The Idlis were okay, could have been softer and warmer. The filter coffee was tasteful and the temperature of the coffee was also perfect. All the accompaniments were fantastic. Would like to be here again on the first occasion.

Amazing south Indian food. We had been here for lunch. We got a south Indian thali (spicy), idli vada combo, filter coffee and gulaab jamun. The thali was good, all varieties were delicious, so was the idli vada combo. Filter coffee was very strong and refreshing. Friendly service.
