Yummilicious food! Just the way my south indian mom prefers! That says it all i guess lol Impeccable service, courteous staff! The ambience transports me to Mylapore (doesn't matter the location). I wish all the other restaurants use them as a benchmark! ciao!

Bisibelebath + curd rice combo is a great offering, filling yet not too much rice. Staff was very friendly and answered questions well.

Idly Express - Almaden is a gem for South Indian cuisine lovers in San Jose. As regular customers, we appreciate the authentic, home-style cooking that feels just like a comforting meal prepared at home. The hot lunch options are consistently delicious and satisfying. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making each visit pleasant. However, we've noticed a recent trend of price increase per item, particularly for Idly and Vada, which has led us to be more selective about our orders. Standout Dishes: * Hot lunch * Uthappam * Filter Coffee * Rava Kesari We have been customers of Mylapore Express and now Idly Express since 2018. The quality and authenticity of the food remains top-notch. Recommendation: A must-try for anyone craving authentic South Indian breakfast and lunch options in the Almaden area.

Very good south Indian take out place! We usually get benne dosa, uttapams, idli, lunch specials.. everything is spot on. Convenient ordering and pickup. Love their filter coffee! Staff is very friendly! Feedback: wish they would allow me to purchase extra masala for my benne masala dosa. Idli is a lil dry to my liking.

Excellent south indian food and great service by the team members always. Coffee is addictive!!

Really tasty and homestyle South Indian food. Mostly serve take out only with some small outdoor seating if needed. They also have a variety of to-go curries and snacks which are equally delicious. My favorites are their - Thatte Idli (steamed rice cake): large and super soft. They have a secret sauce in how they make their batter with freshest ingredients - Pongal: soft and well cooked - Vada: crispy Indian doughnut served with a variety of chutneys and sambars - Podi idli: spicy tiny button sized idli soaked in idli powder - Filter coffee: simply the best coffee in the world. they make it strong and frothy enjoyed eating here and will definitely return in the future
