Wonderful first experience! It has a family-friendly casual vibe and the service was super quick on a Sunday afternoon. Customer service is very polite.
Items we tasted ⤵️
✨️ ONION CHILLI RAVA DOSA - The best Rava Dosa I've had so far in the Bay Area. Comes with 4 kinds of chutneys and a sambhar
✨️ MINI GHEE PODI IDLY - It's served in a unique manner with sautèd onion pieces. Soft & fluffy delicious idlys that I very much recommend
✨️ SPECIAL THAALI - The Sunday Thaali with Puri was interesting and fulfilling. We tried the hot sweet chana dal payasam for the first time
✨️ FILTER COFFEE - I never before saw such interesting looking coffee with froth on the top. Must Try! Sugar needs to be added separately
I will be back for more!
Edit: I visited again for the Happy Hour on a Monday evening. It's a fantastic deal, don't miss it people!
50+ types of Dosas & Uttapams and 10+ appetizers are available on discounted prices. Dosas are below $8 during Happy Hours.

Ordered chilli parotta and chilli paneer and rose milk
I couldn’t eat it at all. Oil is too old I guess, I could take it distinctly. What are you guys cooking and serving. Worst experience so far
Look the size of the drink I got for pick up. Crazy ! Smallest glass in my home is twice the size of this !
Unfortunately this place didn’t meet our expectations from a South Indian restaurant. The benne podi masala dosa didn’t feel or taste like one and the onion chilli rave dosa was slightly burnt. We liked the ghee podi thatte idli and filter coffee. There are better options in and around this place, making this a difficult one to go back to again.
Comparable to home food. Absolutely minimal oil usage. Affordable pricing and great variety of options from Southern India. I’d highly recommend checking out this place. I loved the taste and quality of the food. We tried their thali, combo thali, rasam soup and filter coffee. Everything was very well made with less oil while making sure the taste is not compromised.
They can work on the atmosphere a bit.
Great food. Get crowded especially yesterday was packed when we went. You can tell how good the food is by the crowd. Best medhu vada in my opinion I ever had in U.S. so fresh!!! Great food and great service.

Fantastic food, great service, and unbeatable prices! The dosas, biryani, and gobi manchurian are all delicious. Highly recommend this place for authentic Indian flavors. Will definitely be coming back.
If you're interested in authentic South Indian vegetarian fare you'll leave this place very happy. As you enter the place brings in the smells of a restaurant in Chennai. My litmus test for a good South Indian restaurant is their ability to make good coconut chutney. This was one of the best chutneys I have had in the US and I can't count more the 2 others in the US. On their Thali, every item tasted delicious. That is very rare too. Kudos to the chef for making this memorable and thanks to the wait staff for their attention.
The ordering process is chaotic and I hope they will iron this out. The place has some storage containers and boxes giving you a feel of eating in a warehouse but I guess that will get better too.
On my next visit, I found the food quality getting even better. The ordering process is still chaotic. They make up for that with reasonable and attentive service.
In General Indian restaurants are overpriced for the food they serve, most of the Indian restaurants only few items are good and could be expensive.
This restaurant is the same way, I had fried idly which was good, then ordered chilli parrots - yuck ????????. Never ever try that, they have added sweet sauce and made like a yucky food. I had stomach upset entire night. When I said owner about this sweet parotta thing, he said from next time I should inform as spicy parotta it seems. Who on earth puts sweet in the chilli parotta....???
I would never recommend this place unless you plan to have Idly Dosa alone. The Sambar Chutney are also not that great ????
I heard a lot about Arusuvai Virunthu about food and was able to try out dinner.
My experience was mixed. Customer service was pathetic. The ordering system is not managed well. I stood in line for around 20 minutes and reached the counter, and while enquiring about dishes, I was harshly asked to order asap and clear the line. Since I was a new customer, I had no clue about dishes.
Went ahead and ordered with a not so happy mood, but when food arrived, it lightened the effect the person at counter provided.
Good food, but not a great experience.
