Thayir Sadam

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit here today and got a medium bowl of chefs choice.... Aka I didn't know what anything was and asked the staff to put together my bowl lol Serious shoutout to them tho for explaining everything as I gazed at the menu like a deerDidn't think I'd be full from a medium bowl but it was very satisfying The spot is well kept, it's clean and lightly decorated.

Such a delicious vegetarian thali experience! They have all you can eat thali which they refill at table side, along with different starches and dessert including mango lassi. The restaurant is clean and tidy, with excellent service. My favorite dishes was a curry with edamame that was super flavorful as well as the rice porridge. Will happily go back again!

Guys, you won't believe it. I got a yogurt and oatmeal bowl with pickled mango and blueberries for less than $20. You can get your yogurt fix for so so cheap right here in the heart of Berkeley. Definitely try the spices and various toppings. I mixed the mango, blueberries and paneer for a perfect breakfast. Also, their spices really add an earthy, numbing flavor. Definitely check it out!

The masala idli was so so fire and the owner always checked and asked how the food was! Great customer service and best of all the filter coffee was so tasty.

Fantastic and hit the comfort food itch! Service was friendly and informal; ambiance is casual. No outdoor seatingEdit: I've now been back a few times, and the quality is consistently excellent. The yogurt is made in the store, and tastes like the fresh yogurt my grandmother used to make. The portion sizes are generous. My favorite combo is mild chili, extra spice, mango, boondi, pickle, and peanuts. All the combos are good though, and I love that the seasonal fruit is perfectly ripe.

The food was pretty good, I kept it simple. Tempered with curry leaves and mustard seeds of course, and carrot, along w urga. Also had paniyaram. They were deep fried and yummy, though I was expecting a little more quantity wise for the price. Thayir sadam could have some more seasoning for the carrots. It would be in their benefit to expand to dosa, Vada, etc. The aroma of those foods wafting through the air might bring more people to check out the place. Maybe they could expand to desserts and more traditional drinks as well

This place was so excellent! I really didn't know what to expect, but the chef was incredibly helpful in walking me through the menu. This was such comfort food, incredibly flavorful and textural that left me feeling full but not weighed down. If you are looking for something nourishing, protein rich, and vegetarian, Couldn't recommend more!!

Delicious and authentic South Indian comfort food at its absolute best. You won't find anything like this anywhere else in Berkeley. While yogurt rice may sound strange if you haven't had it before, give this place a shot because it will absolutely change your mind. Make sure to add toppings - it's what brings the flavor bursts to this comforting dish! Take this advice from a fellow Indian! This place is worth trying!

Delicious, healthy, and fresh! The owner is very nice. This will definitely be my new regular

So excellent. So wonderful. I hadn't had this dish before, and we really loved it. Our favorite toppings were the dried fruit, the paneer cheese, and nuts.
