I really love the coffee and the food here at Idly Express, Almaden. Ahmad bhai really looks after his customers and remembers their choice of the coffee. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic South Indian food with great Filter coffee!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The South Indian food is excellent. fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The dosas and chutneys are especially good. A special mention to Ahmed, who makes an outstanding filter coffee. It was rich, aromatic, and the perfect way to finish the meal. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy authentic South Indian cuisine.

This is my go-to for comfort food. It's a quick service, mostly take-home spot and everything tastes homemade and authentic. The food is fresh, never oily and feels healthy. The filter kaapi (coffee) deserves a special shout-out and is consistently good! The $5 specials are incredible value as well. Ahamed and the team here are always warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!
