Many a sunday morning movies has been done at Sathyam. And they were all possible because we would grab a good breakfast at ID before the flick. We would all reach ID around 8.15, grab a table, and dig into the hot pongal or idli vada and gulp down a hot cup of filter coffee before moving over to the movie theaters. That is how good and reliable ID is. And if you are not a coffee drinker, you can have a glass of fresh fruit juice to quench your thirst :) For as long as I can remember, we have eaten at ID- I enjoy their pongal, kasi halwa, and my alltime favorite is the keerai vadai. Apart from these, they also serve adai, and a MLA pesarattu which has upma stuffing. I love the chutneys they give, white coconut chutney, tomato-red chilli chutney and ofcourse the piping hot sambar. I have been here so many times that the staff know me by face. I have also visited their outlet in other malls and find the quality to be just as good! The most recent being a visit to Forum Mall where a friend wanted to grab a cup of kaapi when her son insisted he wanted idiyappam. He ate them plain and devoured them, which is a sign that the food is good. It is such a saving grace for movie goers and morning movie watchers like me and my group of friends! A big thumbs up for ID and Sathyam Cinemas!

Tried the ID at Forum Mall and loved it too! Same old crispy Vadas and Coconut Milk Appam. Tried the Rava Roast and Gobi Masala Dosa newly. The Rava Roast is amazing and a must-try. The Cauliflower was minimal in the dosa but good enough. In comparison to their ghee roast the dosa was not that great. But definitely above average. Love their buttermilk. Can keep on having it over n over again! They do not let you take away food, big drawback! Other than that loved the ambiance, typically ID, the open kitchen and the busy busy waiters. They have some snacks coming up soon, like bajjis and bondas!! Cant wait to try 'em out!!

Absolutely love the ghee roast The menu card looks like a piece of paper, don get disappointed cos there is so much to taste here! the vada being offered as starters without being ordered for is a very good way to service, tempt at the same time sell! so it was plain vada - yummy!, keera vada - crispy, masal vada - ok! The ambiance is just breathtakingly classy and chic and u wudnt want to touch ur idli and dosa with ur hands at sucha place! but wat to do, some food are meant to be eaten the way they should be to taste good... without being able to resist the ghee dripping yummy crispy dosa,.. we had to jump in! give a short at everything .. idli - ok, rava idli - not bad, ghee roast - nothing less of heaven, rava roast - heaven again if u like rava, aapam, with coconut milk, stew and theeyal - all yummy... they shud definitely increase their menu soon so people don get bored of havin the same items, considering the fact that most ppl who come here are movie freaks and will return often for sure! there are some south-indian sweets available (i dono y they are called pastries!), weren't that inviting, so let go since we were already greedily stuffin ourselves with the dosas! Also there is of course the mandatory filter coffee, some juice, masala tea and buttermilk, the last one was what i tried and liked it a lot! As such, the place is perfect!, yummy food, great ambiance, wonderful service and the best of all u wud think this kinda place wud charge u a 100 bux a dosa... but surprise no, i think its perfectly priced it! 10 on 10! And now they are open in Phoenix and Forum Mall too cant wait to try 'em out!
