Good variety of idli's are served hot. Post pandemic they serve sambar and rasam in small plastic cups and staff is generous to offer extra chutney or sambar multiple times.
We went att exact 7 am so all idli varieties were super fresh and hot. We tasted vegetable idli, mysore rava idli, idliyappam (served with coconut milk and chutney) and super super tasty Kanchipuram idli. Rasam was watery, not so tasty but sambar was very good in taste. Ideal joint for hopping in for quick bite of idli of your choice and go.
They have multiple varieties of idlis available which is a plus. I tried the cucumber idli which was tad bit sweet than my liking but my friend loved it, you could taste the cucumber and there was no compromise on taste, they also serve idli with red chutney and green chutney, ghee and podi is also available. I also tried ukdicha modak which was excellent. The seating area is small so a takeaway is a good option
This quaint place recently moved here from King's Circle.
There are a variety of options available, which make for a South Indian food lovers delight.
Tried multiple items and liked all. Though I feel the Sambar & Chutney can be slightly improved.
Overall a very good authentic experience.
A small place with some amazing varieties of Idili. You can experience authentic South Indian idli style here.
Cons: They don’t have enough seating area. So it’s better to take parcel.

Another South Indian restaurant close to Matunga Circle.
They serve the best idlis and ONLY idlis.
We tried their,
1) Kanchipuram idli (for the lover of cloves)
2) Rasam Idli (for the lover of rasam)
3) Pepper Idli (yum, lots of black pepper)
4) Filter Coffee (light and milky, this coffee was the biggest dissapointment out of the South Indian Restaurants that serve filter coffee)
Ambience is simple with hardly any seating, but could be cleaner. Service is fast and rates are reasonable. This is a Non-AC eatery.
The menu is displayed on the wall for you to choose, they also have a menu card.

This is one restaurant / eatery where I can boast that I have eaten every single dish on the menu including the accompaniments, unless any new one have been introduced in the last 3 months.
Idli as a dish is not new to Mumbai. Idli House introduces you to some specialties from the Karwar region of Karnataka. I appreciate the owners for their sheer conviction in their offering and their guts to start a restaurant only for Idli's; for Idli is not a "Up-Market" dish like Sushi with a niche clientele and premium pricing.
For the record, the menu card boasts of 13 different types of Idli's. Every Idli prepared here is unique in its preparation.
You get the regular Steamed Idli, Khotto Idli; idli steamed in cups of Jackfruit leaves, Mudho Idli; idli steamed in cups of Kevda leaves, Oondi [meaning laddoo in Kannada; idli served with freshly grated coconut & topped with mustard tempering, Kakdi Idli; idli batter mixed with grated cucumber & coconut. Some Idli's are available on certain days only.
I had the Idli Dalitoya, again a Karwari speciality. Idli is served with simple homemade dal with a mustard tempering. The dal is simple & delicious bereft of any spices even the customary chilly.
Also tried a Vegetable Idli which has some grated carrot, a couple of french beans in it; nice to taste.
I personally didn't like the Sambar they serve its a bit sweet and less spicy for my palate. But what I love all types of chutneys that they serve; white, green, red and also the dry powder chutney. A hard-core Southie will mix the dry chutney with oil, either coconut or til and have the Idli with it.
If you are an Idli lover, then you must come here to enjoy the variety on offer. The staff is helpful with the ingredients in case you a have doubt what to order. I am quite sure that "No one can eat just one"
Great place if you want to try different varieties of Idli's which are rarely available elsewhere. I had mysore rava idli it tasted good, cost is bit high considering open dine in option with just two tables and people roaming around but the uniqueness makes up for it.
Also tried filter coffee, except for serving it in brass vessel just felt ok and is too expensive at 40/- considering it ordinary taste.
Highly recommended for Idli but not for filter coffee
If you like South Indian(Mangalorean local) idlis , THIS is the place. Ignore the surroundings. Concentrate on the food n Lo-behold , you will rejoice the food.
Great place to have quick breakfast. They have many options of Idli's that we can't even imagine. Their specialities are Mysore Rava Idli, Kanchipuram Idli, Jackfruit Idli and some Manglorian specials. It's a small place but serves delicious varieties. It's opposite to Maheshwari Udyan in Kings Circle.
Best place to have Idli in Mumbai . They serve various varieties of Idlis and all of they are equally delicious . Their idlis are soft and their chutney is equally tasty .
