Mylapore - Fremont

Dee a week ago

Mylapore is a great local chain for an authentic Tamil/South Indian vegetarian experience. We visited for Sunday lunch, and as expected, it was quite crowded. We had joined the waitlist, and although we arrived a few minutes late and lost our table, the staff was kind enough to seat us at another table within about five minutes. I had the traditional vegetarian Tamil-style thali, which came with a wonderful assortment of vegetable preparations, sambar, rasam, and other accompaniments with rice. The portions are small but plentiful, and the flavors are very satisfying if you enjoy classic South Indian seasoning. My friend had the ghee podi dosa, which was crisp, flavorful, and served with excellent sambar and chutneys. We finished with their authentic South Indian filter coffee—strong, aromatic, and made with coffee and chicory. I highly recommend having it with a little jaggery, even if you normally take your coffee without sugar. Overall, a very wholesome and authentic South Indian vegetarian experience. Definitely worth a visit if you love Tamil-style food, dosa, thali, and filter coffee!

Pooran Polo is a solid spot for authentic Maharashtra cuisine. The OG recipes Sabudana Vada, Vada Pav, Misal Pav, and Pooran Poli are all delicious and taste just like home. Stick to those classics, the naan was dry and hard (probably from frozen), and the kadhai paneer had rock-hard paneer cubes. Overall, great for the real Maharashtrian flavors.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mylapore Express in Fremont has been our family’s culinary sanctuary since day one! Whether it’s a standard Tuesday dinner, hosting out-of-town relatives, or introducing my non-Indian colleagues to the "real deal," this is the spot. I’ve made it my personal mission to show my coworkers that Indian food is so much more than just naan and butter chicken—South Indian cuisine is a vibrant, flavorful universe of its own, and Mylapore Express is the perfect ambassador with its authentic Madras filter coffee and incredible ambiance. We can’t get enough of the sambar rice, yogurt rice, and the Madras Beach Sundal (a recent discovery that we now crave!). The quality is reliable, the staff is genuinely helpful, and the decorations provide a lovely cultural touch. My only "complaint"? The food is so delicious that I shamelessly abandon my diet every single time. It’s a carb-heavy paradise, but I’d love to see a few more protein-packed or fiber-rich options so I can pretend I’m being healthy while I devour my third dosa! Thank you for bringing such authentic flavors to our neighborhood—my taste buds are grateful, even if my gym trainer isn’t!

We had Masala Dosa, Mysore Masala Dosa, and Onion Uttapam. The Masala Dosa was perfectly crisp and served with flavorful chutneys and sambar. The Mysore Masala Dosa had just the right amount of spice and Onion Uttapam was soft and delicious. A great place for authentic South Indian food. One of the best places to enjoy dosa and uttapam. Highly recommended! 😊

I had Ghee Masala Dosa and Filter coffee and Mylapore, both were good. The masala dosa was a bit more crunchier than I usually like, it was tasty and I enjoyed it nevertheless. The coffee was also good.
