Great food and good staff. Like Peserattu. Everything is good [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got thali options

Went on a Saturday evening for dinner. Got seated immediately. They are also pretty quick in bringing the food. Only problem we saw is that they just have one person taking orders in all the tables. During rush hours, it tends to take longer to place an order. We ordered 4 items : Poori Masala - Good in taste. The aloo curry is not spicy. So suitable for kids Madurai Malli Masala Dosa - Definitely a must try. It's spicy but in a good way Onions Pesarattu Dosa - Good in taste. They do chop green chilies with onions. So can be a bit spicy Mysore Bonda - Definitely a must try Apart from that, all the chutneys are really good. Favorite is the peanut chutney and coconut chutney read more

Not my favorite Indian food to be honest. I prefer northern Indian cuisine aka butter chicken. This thali was pretty spicy and a lot of sides were pretty sour to the point where I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be that sour, or if it was going off. Unfortunately not coming back. read more

The newer location! Ulavacharu always deserves high praise, and my experience was overall positive! But compared to the other locations, this one felt like it had room to grow, but that's justified seeing that it's still pretty new. Masala Dosa 7/10: Good, but definitely a far cry from the best dosas i've had. The potato mixture inside was very chunky and not mashed much, whereas the crispy outer layer of the dosa was nice but felt a little lackluster with cracks and being slightly cold to the touch. Podi Idly 9/10: Damn good! a little bit of spice to them, it comes with 3 and are a great shareable appetizer with lots of yummy dipping sauces. i liked the peanut based one in particular and the bell pepper sauce is a close second! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was pretty good but the bathrooms were on the dingy side.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is plentiful but i saw lots of people struggling to park near the restaurant entrance... highly recommend just parking near the back where it's very roomy if you have a big car! read more

Decent 4th of July Dinner, But Service Needs Work We came to UlavacharU Tiffins for a 4th of July dinner. Overall, most of the dishes were good, but the experience had some rough spots. What We Tried: - Idly Vada Combo: Fresh and tasty. - Hot Pongal: Warm, comforting, and flavorful. - Kara Masala Dosa: Nicely crisp with good spice. - Korma Paratha: This was the only real disappointment--bland and lacking any distinct taste. The biggest issue was the service. It was excruciatingly slow, and we waited so long for extra chutneys that by the time they arrived, we had already finished eating. Overall, while most of the food was enjoyable, the slow service and the underwhelming korma paratha made the experience feel just average. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is basic and suitable for a cozy meal with friends and family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We went for brunch on the weekend we ordered a thali and rava dosa. After 25 minutes I got a cold rava dosa, I sent it back, but still no thali in sight, then after several requests got the thali. It came with 2 small poori, cauliflower fries not crispy but tasted good. All the sides were decent. Dal was good tamarind sambar (Pulusu Gojju) was the best of all even though it had watery consistency. Tamarind rice and pulao dishes were ok. Rice was so less it was not enough for the amount for the sides. Dessert was one of the worst that I had. Finally again checking got my rava dosa. But overall lessons learned, food is ok but you won't get service unless you are a big party racking up bill. I know it is common but this one I was feeling like was being ignored, we were just a party of 2. read more

this is definitely what my favorite does it places in the Bay Area. The service is super quick and I'm always impressed how fast they can whip out your dinner. I have gotten the thali well though it's only available after 6:30 so time your meal correctly. Everything is so delicious and for a great price.

For about a year, Ulavacharu had the best Thali in the area. And then for some reason, they changed it and it's now a tiny ghost of its former self. Instead of a delicious selection of many things it's now a tiny little plate with no extras. Sad, sad, sad, very disappointing. I hope they bring back the full Thali because it was excellent. We went every week because it was so good. read more

The menu at this branch was slightly different from the one in Sunnyvale - it has more offerings. In terms of the food: - poori/channa: not as good as the one in Sunnyvale - cheese dosa: good! - masala dosa: decent - chutney/sambar: more spicy compared to the Sunnyvale branch. Service was quick! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: the venue feels more roomy compared to Sunnyvale.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

They now have thali for $18. It's delicious. Though it's limited, there are lot of varieties. The day I tried it, there was puri, four varieties of rice, pappads, pickle, sambar, rasam, dal, two or three varieties of curries, dessert etc. Most of the dishes took me down a nostalgic trip back to Andhra. The dal had ghee and was pure deliciousness. The puris are tiny though, rest of the varieties are also served in tiny quantities so it's not a lot of food. The thali might be a little overpriced given that it's limited. Looks like they now have millet based dishes on weekends before 11.30 AM, will try that next! read more

Went here for dinner on a Sunday night and it was moderately busy with a 10 minute wait to be seated. I tried their daily special thali, which was delicious. The best dishes in the thali were the Amaranth leaves moong dal fry, Pooris, and Spinach dal. One thing that could be improved is the rice portion size in the thali, which was a little small for the amount of curries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is better than their Santa Clara location[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and the service was quick. read more

My friend wanted to go out for South Indian food on a Saturday morning. Our first choice was jam packed so we ended up going to UlavacharU as a backup. I have never really said this about Indian food before as it's not particularly one of my favorites cuisines, BUT I REALLY want to go back to this place. This restaurant apparently replaced a sushi restaurant and from decor and interior design, you can definitely tell lol. The parking lot is pretty small, but my friends and I were able to cop the last two spots. The workers were nice and even recommended us one of the food items. Bless that man for introducing it to me. Podi Idly (5/5) - Spectacular! I had no idea what it was (later found it was a type of rice cake) but it was delicious! It was so soft and so flavorful. Definitely pretty spicy, but it was a good type of spice. The outer part had some little spice balls (I'm assuming it's the podi) that had a nice crisp texture. Masala Dosa (4/5) - The dosa was good, but it was just outshined by Podi Idly for me. I wish it had more spices and texture, but the sauces that went with it were really good. I like that there was so much variety for you to try. It's also a HUGE portion, so it was a perfect amount for our group of three. I would love to come back to try a different dosa, perhaps one of the varieties of podi. This was a good introduction to South Indian food. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

We were here for a farewell lunch for a friend and the service was horrible! One order took forever to arrive - the rest of the group had already finished. The server John was extremely rude on multiple occasions. He asked us to hurry up as he said there were others waiting and this was even before all of us had even finished eating. We had ordered coffee... John came and literally dumped the coffee on the table spilling it on someone's pant apart from the table and the floor - see pictures... so overall very disappointing experience- least expected!!! read more

Good and and efficient service. Idly was nice and soft. Our favorite sauces were bell pepper and almond (?) sauces Ginger based sauce was little too sweet for our liking. Peppery sauce had just enough spiciness. Benne Dosa is buttery so I would rather share one with others. Nellore Ulli Karan Dosa has raw red onions and so eat at your discretion depends upon your plan for the rest of evening. All in all, pretty good experience. read more

Loved this place. We were here for breakfast. Food is very tasty and very kind service. We had Chai, Filter Coffee, Puri Bhaaji, Dosa, Idli-Vada-upma combo. We liked all the items we ordered. We especially liked their special Ginger-Jaggery Chutney. They also sell those chutneys in 8 oz containers. Very nice Asian interior since this place used to be a sushi restaurant before. They have added small Indian touches to the decor without spoiling the original feel of the place. We will definitely come back to try more dishes. read more

A couple of great things here including speedy service and ample room to eat and bring a big party here. I will say that the food is pretty mediocre but a couple of standout dishes include the uttapam and the housemade ginger chutney. For dosas I would prefer to go to mylapore which is a 4 min drive up but overall ulvacharu tiffins is pretty decent. read more

We were planning to go to another restaurant nearby but it was so crowded that we decided to try this place. We got nellore podi dosa, raga onion dosa, pesarettu and upma, podi idli and Poori masala for my kid. The podi idli was very good and spicyyy. Loved it. The dosas were good but we expected more spice. The chutneys and sambhar were all very good. The only problem was that the Poori had hair on it when it arrived. When we showed it to them, they immediately made another one for us. Didn't expect hair, right on top of poori to be served to us. The restaurant wasn't too busy when we went and the place is clean and spacious. read more

My party of 3 walked in on a Saturday around 11:30am and we were seated right away. Easy parking in designated lot and plenty of seating options (both booth and tables). I got the mango lassi and the special ghee rava dosa. Mango lassi was good, but more on the sour/yogurt-y side. I liked the special ghee rava dosa! It was flavorful and filling. I liked that the rava dosa was thin and crispy since I always appreciate a little texture. I tried some of my friend's mysore masala dosa as well and it was good too! My favorite chutneys were the coconut and ginger. Service was straightforward and no-frills. read more

My friend and I came here for dinner during the week. It was not busy when we went, and we were seated upon arrival. Food: I ordered the mysore masala dosa. It was very good. The sauces it came with paired well. The lentil soup had a really good kick to it. We also shared the medhu(?) vada which were also good. All the sauces were flavorful. It was hard to pick a favorite. Service: Service was friendly and quick. Our server answered our questions about spice levels graciously. Our food came out promptly as well.

What a gem! I have to be honest, I wasn't sure what I was eating, but it was all delicious. I enjoyed coming here for lunch to meet up with a friend. I liked that they had a set lunch menu that offered a variety of options. I liked that I saw solo diners that didn't appear to be South Asian visiting as well, perhaps hinting that this food appeals beyond cultural lines. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wish there was a card or something that came with the food teaching people like me or my friend how to eat the food or what we were eating. I've seen things like that when dining at other places (usually abroad) that have a high number of foreign visitors. I don't know how well that would go over here, but I personally would have appreciated it because I truly wasn't sure what I was eating. It was delicious though. I left full and the price point was good. For a fully vegetarian meal, I thought that was excellent. I'll be back! read more

This used to be one of our go to spots for South Indian food . Sad to say that the service is non existent now . We ordered rava dosa that came ice cold .

We gave our feedback to the person at the checkout counter . He had nothing to say other than give us a smile . We will not be back . read more

New South Indian place opened, brb I gotta check it out. Had the medhu vada which came with tamarind, peanut, masala and yogurt dipping sauce. It was good! Who doesn't love a savory donut to dip with sauce. The star of the show was the mysore masala dosa. The waiter warned it would be spicy, but it wasn't spicy at all. Mild spicy if anything. The dosa came with the same four sauces and I love dipping crunchy things in sauce. I appreciate how helpful the waiter was because the menu had so many options I didn't know what to pick. The interior is a Japanese restaurant because this used to be a sushi restaurant. We paid our bill at the front desk. I'll definitely be back read more
