“ Best place for idiyappam, appam and puttu. Not greasy. Steamed food, tastes homemade. Friendly staff. ”

“ Good quality food and excellent service. Very nice atmosphere and overall amazing! Liked the appams and idlis a lot ”

“ Highly recommend this place. We tried puttu kadalai, idiappam vellam, aapam stew, badam milk, everything was very fresh, piping hot and esp the coconut was fresh grated we could see it. Service by the brother was very nice. It was fantastic on a cold evening to sit and enjoy the piping hot comfort food, safe for the tummy. Well done, team and keep up the great work! ”

“ Super nice cheerful and pleasant guys...I wish them the very best. Everything we ordered was delicious. I am a fan and will be back. ”

“ Since my first review, we've been back twice this week alone. By now, we have tried the kuzhi paniyaaram, badam milk, bisi bela bath, appam, dosa, biryani and idli. We've never tasted such authenticity and freshness. I truly hope this continues and this business gets the love and respect it truly deserves. ”

“ Amazing food. Really friendly people! I had this place bookmarked and wasn't able to go for a while, finally did and also highly recommended it to all my friends. Had the Idiyappam with Kadala curry - they made it fresh and told me how many minutes it will take, it was out pretty fast :) I must say, it was light and delicious, and the kadala curry went great with it. I'm from Chennai and while I've had the kadala curry before, the combination is still new to me but delicious nevertheless. They told me to ask for a refill of the kadala curry if needed and I most certainly did! I wasn't planning on ordering another dish, but given how good this was, I also ordered the Kuzhi Paniyaram. Again, made fresh and ready pretty fast - came with one coconut chutney. Tiny Paniyaram pieces that I gulped down within 5 minutes for sure. Will certainly be back very soon to try their other offerings - including puttu, and the dosas. I spoke Tamil with them and they spoke back to me in Tamil - I read in other reviews the owner is Srilankan. They have a single table outside the truck, I went on a weekday evening and ate there, not sure if they have enough space to dine there when it's more crowded so it maybe just better to pickup. ”

“ Came across Madhu Idiyappa Kadai, food truck with Kerela style food. Ordered puttu with kadla curry, aapam with stew, and kulipanniyaram which came with green chutney. Everything was authentic, not to spicy and delicious. Looking forward to trying other items. Service was pretty quick too. Highly recommended and definitely give it a try! ”

“ Got lucky finding this amazing South Indian style food truck in the Bay Area. The food feels very Kerala style, though the chef is Sri Lankan. Very rare to find good food this cuisine anywhere in the Bay Area. Was surprised at how good every food item turned out to be. They are a food truck in a parking lot next to Chevron gas station with small seating area ahead of them. Quality of the food was good and their service was polite. - Gobi 65: soft and crispy, so delicious - Bajji: good mix of plantain, potato and spicy green chili. The coconut chutney was a hit - Puttu with kadala curry: loved tasting this after many years - Appam with Stew: came with 3 appams which were delicious. not a fan of their stew, like my stews a bit thicker and spicier, this was bland - Poori with Chana: poori was tasty with the accompanying black chick pea curry - Ginger tea: finished off with ginger tea, which was generous and piping hot. Overall, a great experience and will Definitely be back to try new stuff again from them ”

“ It was a sunday night, and it was close to 9 pm wondering where to go, and one of our friends refeferred this food truck, which is a hidden gem. As it does not come up in Google maps. When we went, there was no truck to be found, and finally, we figured out it was on the Halford side near Dennys. It was empty, no one around this truck, I was even more skeptical, I would have tried to find some other restaurant, but since it was referred, I went ahead. They had some unique dishes, when enquired they were Sri Lankan dishes. Remember, these are familiar to me as these dishes are famous in Kerala state in India. We chose the specialty dishes Idiyappam with stew and Puttu with Kadalai curry, both were made to order. Both these dishes come with kadalai Curry or Coconut and Jaggery. Since we don't want too much kadalai curry and we like spicy, we avoided coconut and jaggery and asked if they could give some other option they obliged and gave stew along with small sample just enough to have a bite of coconut and jaggery along with there coconut and tomato chutney. First, Puttu and idiyappam were warm and melted in your mouth. Kadalai curry was not spicy but flavourful with masala taste. This was a unique and authentic taste. Stew had various vegetables and was creamy with just enough spice. Both the chutneys were fresh with the right amount of spice and tangy. Would love to go back and want to taste other dishes . ”
