We chanced upon the restaurant on a walk from the Courtyard Marriott we were staying at. Lines were long in the evening and so we decided to come back next day for breakfast. Had Ghee Podi Dosai and Onion Dosai. With tip, we paid $34.44. We then decided to have an early dinner before returning to So Cal and ordered Ghee Dosai and Mylapore Special Dosai. Since we were there before 6 pm, we got happy hour rates of $8.99/dosai (before tax & tip). All dosais were excellent, and I will say that the ghee dosais surpassed the quality of many a reputed Dosai joints in South India. The sambhar and coconut chutney were excellent. Tomato chutney was more average. In the evening, they offered all guests free tasty vada balls before seating, which was very welcoming. The service was prompt. We got extra chutneys both times on asking. In the morning, the plates were lined with banana leaf; by evening, they seemed to have run out of that. Free hot jeera water was also a homely touch. The decor is average and the place gets crowded. But if you care for delicious dosai, head over to Mylapore, Pleasanton.

Very good place to get Tamil food. Every time I was there the food was good - nothing frozen or old stuff. Sambar idlis were heavenly. Special plate meals were good too. Most other items were good. I compliment them for not adding sweet in sambar or sweet to other spicy dishes screwing up the taste. Thank you Mylapore. Pl keep it up. Thank you for serving authentic Tamil food and thank you for NOT serving "south Indian food".

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Mylapore in Pleasanton! Yesterday, when we stopped by in person to place our breakfast order, Robin provided exceptional service from the start. He was incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu options with genuine enthusiasm and making spot-on recommendations based on what we were craving. The ordering process was seamless, and he even confirmed all the details to ensure everything would be perfect for pickup. This morning, when we arrived to grab our take-out, Robin was right there with a warm smile, double-checking that everything was packed just right and ready to go. The food itself was out of this world – the Mini Tiffin with VIP and Kesari was a delightful burst of flavors, perfectly spiced and comforting. The Idlys were fluffy and fresh, the Medhu Vadais crispy on the outside and soft inside, and don’t get me started on the Filter Coffee – rich, aromatic, and exactly what we needed to kickstart our day. Everything tasted authentic and homemade, like a hug from South India! Mylapore’s commitment to quality vegetarian cuisine shines through, and Robin’s top-notch service made it even more memorable. We’ll definitely be back soon – highly recommend this gem in Pleasanton! 5 stars all the way.

Overall the food was great. Didn't enjoy the benne dosa. Everything else definitely recommend. Service was great as well. Would recommend if you are looking for a South Indian restaurant. They provide refill of the green and red chutney.

A great place some delicious south Indian breakfast and lunches. The idly was wonderful, but the tomato chutney has been a hit or miss , for the multiple visits we had to this place. The coconut chutney is truly delicious though. The mysore masala dosa was pretty good too.

Great place to have a good dosa and South Indian cuisine as a whole. We tried the tiffin, ghee podi masala dosa everything was of great quality. I had visited twice and found a little difference in quality but definitely a great try.

Had breakfast here with my friends and we absolutely loved the food. The sambar wada dipped was especially delicious and full of authentic South Indian flavor. The restaurant was very clean, well-maintained, and had a pleasant aroma throughout. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome. Overall, a great breakfast experience. would definitely visit again and recommend it to others.

This has been my go-to lunch spot for a while now. I always get their Thali as it has a good mix of different items. If you do decide to get the Thali, don't skip past the small items like the pickle, chutney and crispy chillis, they are some of the best! The food here is of very good quality and feels like it's homemade, their sambar is especially very tasty. The only thing I would change about their Thali is include a chapati but despite that, I consider this to be among my favorite restaurants across the US!
