Editor’s Note
Last updated 21 Jul 2026
Our take: Murugan Idli Shop offers a range of South Indian staples, with the ghee podi masala dosa frequently highlighted for its crisp texture and generous, spicy podi coating.
The accompanying four chutneys and sambar with free refills are a consistent plus.
While some experiences praise quick service and reasonable prices, others point to significant inconsistencies in food quality and attentiveness from staff, even when the restaurant is not busy.
The idlis, priced at $3 each, have been described as dense and brick-like by some, a perceived decline from previous quality.
The hand wash area has also been noted as unclean.
Despite these criticisms, some reviewers still recommend it for an authentic, if chaotic, South Indian experience, particularly for tourists.
Verdict: A hit-or-miss experience; best for those seeking an authentic South Indian atmosphere and willing to overlook potential service and consistency issues.
The $3 idlis may not be worth it for all.

What customers say
Murugan Idli Shop receives mixed but generally positive feedback, with many customers praising the authentic flavors of dishes like ghee podi masala dosa and small onion oothapam, along with generous portions and reasonable prices.
However, a recurring concern is the inconsistency in food quality, with some experiences featuring perfectly cooked items while others describe dense idlis, overly rich dosas, or cold food.
Service can also be variable, with instances of inattentive staff and cleanliness issues noted, despite some finding it quick and efficient.

Consistency. That's the problem here. On some visits, I am figuratively transported to Chennai. On other visits, I wish I had just fasted. On those special visits, the sambar dances with the fresh, ho…
2 of us went on a weekday at 12.30pm. The restaurant was less than half filled. The server told us to sit down and there was a dirty coffee stirrer on one seat and a piece of tissue on the other. We h…
