Best WLM Reviews
Good place to catch up some South Indian food. The service is amicable but the food is delayed to a point where you will start feeling frustrated.
The food taste is good but not the best South Indian I tasted. The price is also a bit expensive for the food quantity. I ordered appam and mutton along with weekend spl crab masala. The mutton was good and the appam was also fresh. The crab masala was good but I have tasted better crab masala in other locations. The ambience is pretty average, could have been better. Overall it’s an avg experience and I expect it to be a bit better compared to other locations.
We are from the Midwest and being a South Indian Tamil , I felt like I was a kid in Disneyland seeing all the South Indian options in California that we never get to see. We got the special aapam with minced chicken…the dish have 2 aapams so easily shareable if you want to try. The tawa fish weekend special was a hit for us including the kids. Kids loved cone dosa and idly sambar. We all thought the sambar was specially good here. My 3yo liked all the 3 chutneys that came with the tiffin items. We also got the parotta with mutton but that wasn’t has good as the rest. Service was friendly and accommodating with the kids. It was one of the Indian restaurants that didn’t close midday which brought us in.
Naatukozhi briyani - it's just regular chicken. That's okay.
Mutton roast - taste was good but it would have better if the meat was cooked a bit more
Idly with goat curry - worst! Idlies were hard, goat pieces were harder, chutneys not good, curry had too much coconut.
Mutton soup - it was the only item that was good.
Lime soda good.
Tried the Sunday breakfast buffet and it was delicious. The highlight was the live dosa station, we tried the ghee roast dosa, pesarattu, gongura, cheese and the karam dosa all of them are very fresh and tasty. The Poori and Chole curry combination was also very good. Both the peanut and coconut chutneys were excellent. The filter coffee is included in the buffet and was outstanding and perhaps the best item on the menu.
Appa kadai.. went for lunch looking for veg options.. not many on the menu really. But the staff was sweet enough to help some custom vegetarian dishes which tasted really good. Over all the food was good nothing to complain . However. 2 things stood out:
1. The service is super slow.
2. The staff doesn’t wear gloves when cleaning tables and doesn’t wash hands after cleaning the tables with bare hands.
Best breakfast buffet I tried in the bay area. Unlimited tasty dosas @live dosa counter. Free filter coffee, which tastes just like in India. Very friendly and helpful staff. Ambience is nice too.
We are going to this new location after it moved from its previous one. We always enjoy their extensive non-vegetarian tiffin options on their huge menu. We started with the Cauliflower Manchurian and Masala Kalaki. The Cauliflower Manchurian was tasty, although not saucy like other restaurants. The Masala Kalaki had all the flavors but needed more salt. The Aapam was decent, but it stuck to the plate once it cooled down also, Vegetable Koorma that came with it was average. The Kal Dosa was good, but the chicken curry was just okay. The Masala Dosa and Podi Masala Dosa were tasty. However, the aloo masala could have been better. Overall, our experience with the dishes we ordered was average during our visit.
A severe let down after all our friends gave glowing reviews about this place.
The food was blah, not satisfying in any way. The veggie kurma had about 2-3 veggie pieces in it, and the gravy was flat.
Looks like the same gravy is also used for the chicken curry, and it was not good.
The Chilli chicken was a little better.
I hope it was a one-off thing that day and hope usually it's better. Not sure if I'd wanna come back here again.
