The food was good. I particularly enjoyed the hot idiyappam and stew, as well as the aapam and coconut milk. The masala vada were large and delicious. However, the kuzhipaniyaram was bland and could benefit from some onions and chilies to add flavor. The stew was also a bit disappointing. Overall, the meal had a traditional taste. Service was quick. Read less

Excellent food, took me to Kerala ❤️ The paniyaram and putta kadala was delicious, hot fresh. In fact, I almost missed capturing a pic of Putta Kadala because I devoured it

It's a great find. We accidentally came across this food truck that's tucked in at the gas station on El Camino real where the Shan restaurant and lucky's is located. I've always had my pet peeves with truck food and have not had great experiences, but the food here was delicious, clean, and very authentic. We went there at around 330 PM or so, way past lunch and was not very hungry but decided to give it a try. We ordered the kuzhi paniyaram which was soft and fresh that was served with coconut chutney and idiyappam and kadala curry and ginger tea. He told us you can ask for more kadala curry if you run out. The idiyappam is made with red rice and kadala curry was mildly spiced. The tea can definitely be made better. But overall, a must try place for sure. You won't be disappointed... Read less

After seeing the good reviews, we tried the kulipaniyaram here and it was underwhelming. The paniyaram felt a bit bland, but the chutney that came with it was good.
