“Wow, I've really never had thalis before and came here because I saw great Yelp reviews and I wasn't disappointed! I came here at around 8 pm on a Wednesday night and didn't have to wait at all and was seated in a group of 7 at a nice table in the back. Food: I got the first thali option with the unlimited option. It was actually a huge amount of food and I basically didn't need to get second helpings. I loved that they gave us roti to dip all of the sauces and food in and it was really a good amount of food! I was terribly full afterwards but super super happy. I haven't had much Southern Indian food before so it added to the experience and I really did like the way that it was so family style. Service: There's not many people helping out in the restaurant but they came by fairly often to check in on us and make sure that we had all of the food and that we got second helpings. Ambiance: Super casual and kind of run down venue, but it feels very homey and very kitchen-esque. Overall loved the unique food experience and would come again! Super cheap and affordable too.”
— Jenny Xu“Came in for a late weekday lunch. Owner was extremely attentive and gave complementary butter milk and curd rice after I had ordered bisibelebath which went really well and tasted great. Food was hot and fresh, not oily and the buttermilk was amazing! Simple restaurant, nice food, and great service.”
— Hariharan N“The dosas are very good. The Kara Masala Dosa and Uthappam were very tasty! Coconut chutney was a great accompaniment! Definitely among the authentic ones in the area! Improvements: the peanut chutney didn't have a strong peanut taste. Seemed diluted or it had something else that had reduced the peanut flavor! The Punugulu could also have been better! Overall a great food experience! Service is quite good too. Informal and laid-back!”
— Deepak Sridhar“I visited Ugadi restaurant at 950 W El Camino Real, Sunnyvale and had a good experience. The prices are very reasonable, and the taste is good. I ordered idli sambhar, which was enjoyable, and puliyogare rice, which was a bit tangy. The restaurant was surprisingly not crowded, and the service was provided by a single person who was nice but took some time. Overall, a decent place to dine.”
— Neeraj NemaYes, most thali options come with unlimited refills of curries, rice, and bread.
