Very unsatisfied with the food and service. They charged full cost for under 18 months baby. The babies didn’t even eat. They cried the whole time. The food is not quality at all. They call it buffet but very expensive with unqualified foods. I have been in many good restaurants and gave good reviews. But this restaurant made us feel bad as please look at the bill. 4 adults and 2 babies. It’s over $100 for just plain rice and some curries

I got the Mysore Masala Onion Dosai and let me tell you it was awesome! The onion was a game changer, I never had raw red onions like that in my Dosai and it truly made the taste and experience much better. This place is vegetarian so I will be coming back again on a veggie day!

For any South Indian craving the best breakfast, Nilgiris is the place to be! I've been visiting this spot for 2 years now and have been there around 7 times, and not once have I been disappointed with the food. My personal favorites are the idli and vada, but I can't stop at just that – I always end up ordering a dosa too! Their quality is top-notch, and the portions are totally worth it. It’s always crowded, so I’d recommend booking a table if you’re heading there on a weekend. While it’s the best for breakfast, they also offer lunch buffet options – just be prepared to carry a very full stomach back home, haha!

The food was outstanding , delicious, piping hot, filled with the authentic flavours of down south, but that’s not all when you go for an breakfast on a Saturday morning that too on the early hours with an empty stomach and you see the service was terrible, late , pathetic, unsatisfying, highly disappointed. The management has to take proper action on that and train them literally what you can see is some panicking waitresses hopping here and there…

We visited Nilgiris restaurant yesterday morning for breakfast, and it was an exceptional experience. We ordered the Poori Potato and Chana Curries, along with Medu Vada. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, with flavors that reminded us of home-cooked food. The food was healthy, light, and incredibly satisfying. The service was equally outstanding. Our server, Samul, provided top-notch, five-star service. The peaceful and enjoyable atmosphere, combined with the quality of the food and service, made our meal truly memorable. We highly recommend Nilgiris for anyone looking for a homely and delightful dining experience. I heard recently from a friend, owner of Nilgiris helped students to pay their tuition fees. I really appreciate it.

I have never seen the messier presentation of idlis than this. I’ve heard highly of this restaurant so I ordered through Uber Eats. I don’t know why restaurants don’t treat their customers equally especially those who order online. I’m sure they won’t serve these idlis to those who choose dine in options. We pay higher amount than the actual price of the item when we order online and we get this, disappointed! Although dosa and sambhar was good taste wise but I’m giving low stars because of these damaged idlis.

I haven’t been to this establishment before. I happened to have come for the 2024 Tamil Festival and decided to give it a try. As expected, the restaurant was at full capacity. Despite this, my server was polite and courteous. I ordered their Mysore Onion Masala Dosa. When my meal arrived nearly half an hour later, I expected the amount of Sambhar to be a little more and the tiny portions of chutneys were also too less for the dosa. The meal itself was tasty and filling but it was strange to find raw, freshly cut onion cubes inside the dosa with the potatoes. After I managed to finish my meal with their limited sambhar, and I was paying for my meal, I wanted to know how much they would have charged for an extra bowl of sambhar. It was only then that I discovered that they provide free refills of the sambhar. My server apologised for not informing me about this in advance – it certainly would have helped to make my meal more enjoyable. There is very little distinction about where the men’s and women’s washrooms are located. The washrooms themselves are clean and well maintained, but because they are located in close vicinity to the handwashing sinks, it can get confusing to know if you’re entering the men’s or the women’s restrooms. I will be back in the future to try out their other dishes.
