ID Cafe

Masala Dosa

Thin, crispy fermented rice crepe stuffed with spiced potato filling, served with sambar and coconut chutney — the benchmark dish here and a reason people make repeat trips

Idli Sambar

Soft, steamed rice cakes served with a deeply spiced lentil sambar and fresh chutneys — a litmus test for any South Indian kitchen, and this one passes

Medu Vada

Savory fried lentil doughnuts with a crisp exterior and tender interior, best dunked into the sambar

Uttapam

Thick fermented rice pancake topped with onions, tomatoes, and green chilis — a heartier alternative to the dosa for those who want more substance

Filter Coffee

South Indian-style decoction coffee served frothy in the traditional tumbler-and-davara style — a rare find outside dedicated Indian cafes in the Bay Area
