Flying Idlis - Houston

Cost is less, but taste is not upto the mark, idlies are too hard

It used to be really good. But quality and taste has gone down substantially over the years. Poori was below average and sabzi was just boiled potato pieces on a bland curry. Idli was good, but sambhar and chutney lacked any flavour. Dosa was tangy and thick. Chai was good.

Flying Idlis offers a unique twist to South Indian cuisine, blending traditional flavors with inventive creations. The Magic Floating Idlis, adorned with onions, coriander, and gunpowder-soaked in rich sambhar, provided a delightful fusion of textures and tastes. The Blazing Fiery Idlis, featuring a bold mix of rice, lentils, butter, onions, and schezwan sauce, showcased a fiery kick that might appeal to spice enthusiasts. The Blazing Fiery Masala Dosa, a crispy crepe layered with schezwan sauce, red chili powder, onions, cilantro, and a secret seasoning, added a zesty dimension to the menu. While the dishes were not bad, they fell short of creating a lasting impression. The Magic Floating Idlis offered a novel experience, but the flavors didn't quite harmonize seamlessly. The Blazing Fiery Idlis and Masala Dosa, though bold in concept, struggled to balance the intensity of spices, slightly overpowering the natural taste of the ingredients. Overall, Flying Idlis offers a decent dining experience with its innovative approach to South Indian classics. However, the execution, particularly in achieving a harmonious flavor balance, leaves room for improvement. A middle-of-the-road rating reflects the restaurant's potential but suggests refinement is needed to truly soar.

I think the food reminded me of my family and my home-the puri and aloo baji was perfect-as was the masala chai..I would come back.

Food is really great, and the service is very prompt. Great price for delicious food.
