Mr.Idly in Birmingham

Este establecimiento ha cambiado de franquicia muchas veces. El punto culminante más grande que solía ser el desayuno buffet los fines de semana, esto se ha diluido con el tiempo. La mayoría de los platos son normales, como suele suceder con la comida del sur de la India, ocasionalmente algunos elementos del menú funcionan bien. Más bien golpear y perder. Es una gran oportunidad hoy en día, con un interés creciente en la comida del sur de la India. No estoy seguro de que puedan subir a la cima en esta área. El servicio no es muy intuitivo, excepto cuando el jefe se encarga de dar una mano. ¡La mejor de las suertes! !

The food is awful. We ordered poori masala and masala dosai both had bad masala which has gone off. The person who we told didn't agree that it and we asked him to smell the bad odour and agreed. This is not the first time this happening and no response to correct it from the management. Never again to this place which is a disaster or more to happen.

I went there with my family the service was poor and food was awful the food is really expensive they used to be good not anymore xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ordered a standard take away of idli and uttapams. 20 minutes they said. Reached in 20. Had to wait for 30 minutes more. They were not at all busy. They used to be good. Awful service. Do not use .

Wandering around on Haley Road, I came across MrIdly. There was no one when I walked in the evening and I was a bit nervous. However the interior was clean and there was a person at the till. I thought to myself let me give it a go. Menu was neat with no smudges. That was a good start. The lady at the till came over and recommended dishes to me after asking a few basic questions about my taste. I was getting impressed. I settled on a plate of 2 idlies and vada and a masala dosa. A few minutes later, she comes back and says - kitchen thinks the idli's will not be good due to fermentation issues can i swap for mini idli's. I said ok. Idlies come along, nice and fluffy dipped in steaming sambhar. Great on the palate and satisfying to the soul. Masala Dosa, nice and crisp. I could have done with less filling. The size of dosa was generous and sow as the quantity of filling. My good impressions turned to great impressions. Not wanting to go for any standard off the shelf drink i opted for rose milk. On second thoughts maybe coffee would have been better. While i was there I saw several people come in and collect order including an ubereat man. I shall be going back again to try more.

Pathetic place. I would never recommended this place to anyone. Terrible food. Extremely priced and very less portions. Poor ambience. No baby changing facilities. Only one waitress for whole restaurant. Had to wait for a long time. Worst place ever to eat.

I've been tried Paneer Butter Masala a lot of times at Mr Idly and I adore this,however today I got disappointed. I was waiting for the same creamy and smooth gravy, heavenly delicious but I've got absolutely different taste. Maybe you've changed your recipe or Chef since my last time...but You should definitely put back previous taste. Thanks,will back to check :)

Waited for 45 mins in an empty restaurant for the food to arrive. Only 2 dishes came and then waited for another half an hour for the rest. They are more interested in delivery orders than seated customers.

We have been here a few times now and the breakfast buffet has always been very good. the price at £5.99 is very good for the variety of food you get. The breakfast includes,plain dosa,masala dosa,puri with potato,upmav,idly,lovely fresh crispy vadas sambar,various chutneys and sheera to finish off with. I would definitely recommend it!

Quite reasonably priced authentic south Indian food. But unwelcoming staff, they don't bother to smile. But food is excellent and very tasty. Hope they will improve quality of their hospitality.

Along with my wife, I went for lunch yesterday and took lunch buffet. Pros: Rice, pappad, sweet, vathakuzambu (though with excess oil). Very quiet. Rather no other customers Cons: No variety, Something strange with Dhal. So-called roti was worst. 2 per plate. I ordered only two (instead of four) and was finding very poor like a dried rubber. I was convincing my wife that this is best lunch buffet in Birmingham and took her only to feel disappointed. Please be mindful they accept only cash! What a waste of money. I want to do one more try during breakfast buffet to see if the tiffins are good and to finally decide whether to abandon this restaurant for good.

I contacted Mr Idly as my team and I wanted to celebrate Christmas in a way that didn’t involve a buffet! Contact was made via the online form and I received a quick response from Vijay. He was very helpful and professional throughout the whole process from ordering the food right through to collection. We ordered a variety of food and EVERYONE commented how lovely it was and how much they enjoyed it!! We all thoroughly enjoyed the tastes and I can’t recommend the food enough. Vijay recommended a chilli paneer for my vegetarian colleague and in his opinion it didn’t disappoint. I ordered chicken biryani having never eaten it before and I can honestly say it was delicious. The price was extremely reasonable and I know that as a team we will certainly be ordering food again from Mr Idly. Well done Vijay and team, keep up the excellent quality and flavour.

For vegetarians a local point to have Idly,Dosa & thali.Being on the main Hagley Road west, the parking is not very convenient.

A place to be avoided! Unless you like a colonic lavage the day after a visit to the restaurant. Stopped for a quick lunch...had a rava chicken masala dosa. Tasted fine. I am used to spicy food Was woken up in the early hours of the next day morning with an urgency to reach for the toilet. Had to make quite a few visit after that too!

Drove here expecting to visit Chennai Dossa. We hadn't realised that this had closed down and been replaced by Mr Idli. Quickly checked reviews on Trip Advisor and as they were generally positive we thought we would give Mr Idli a try. The welcome and service was good. There wasn't the same rush of people as there had been the last time we visited (when it was Chennai Dossa) when he had to queue in the cold waiting for a table. We were seated straight away although it was a Saturday night - it was about half full. We ordered a chilli idli and a plate of vadas for starters. The chili idli was ok - we found it too hot but this was to be expected given the name! The vadas were exceptionally good. You can order 1 that comes with sambar or a plate of 2 that comes with a coconut chutney. They were so tasty that we had to order another plate. They were well seasoned and fried to perfection - crispy on the outside but also well cooked on the inside. Would highly recommend these! One of my relatives said next time they would simply order a few plates of these for their dinner! For mains we had a few masala dossas, one crispy paper dossa, one aloo puri and one matter paneer.The puri was tasty and well fried in fresh tasting oil and the potato that came with it was as per the potato in the dossas whicn was fine. The chutneys that came with all the dossas were of a good variety and fresh tasting. One of the chutneys contained fresh mint which was something I haven't tried with a dossa before and was rather moorish. The star of the mains was the paper dossa as it stayed crispy (unlike the masala dosa that inevitably loses crispness due to the filling) and went perfectly with either the potato curry or the matter paneer. It was huge and so two of us shared it. We ordered a jug of sweet lassi which was delicious - a good sweetness level and appropriate thickness. One of my guests had a malai kulfi for dessert which they said was fine. The service was good throughout. One of the lovely waitreesses informed us that the meat is halal and that the supplier is the same as the one who supplies the popular Persian restaursnt next door to Mr Idli. (The menu at Mr Idli does also have a halal symbol on it). My guests and I however had chosen to eat vegetarian on this occasion. The only negative point I have about this restaurant is that it can be cold inside. We noticed this both when it was under Chennai Dossa and now too. I would recommend sitting as far as possible from the front door. This however would definitely not stop me from returning - I would probably just wear a few extra layers. The place seemed family friendly and had a homely feel to it. Would definitely recommend as we had a most enjoyable time!

I visited Mr Idly at about 9.30pm on a Saturday night. A little rough on the inside, but great quality food and quick service. I ended up having the lamb/mutton biryiani and the Gobi 65 tikka-type cauliflower. Both served up very quickly and very, very...

we went for buffet breakfast. there were hardly any items, They were running out of everything waited and fed up. Poori didnt arruve even after 40 min wait. gave up and left. horrible. if they can't cope they should be doing buffet.

WE been there first time after owner/name changed under the name of MR IDLY from Chennai Dosa. Food is excellent, piping hot, fresh. Can't stop singing the praises. Lovely experience for Sunday morning Breakfast. Everything is unlimited and arrived in time without any wait. Service...

We had Kadai Paneer, Mutter paneer, palav rice, chappati and a glass of mango lassi. I still write this from the restaurant as we sit pleasantly stuffed, our taste buds still tingling and happy with our lovely meal.

As soon as we stepped the lady staff was keen to make us choose buffet lunch, since it was lunch time, we too thought to go for it as the choice of 2 veg and 2 non veg curries in it seemed more than enough....

Had an brunch there and i liked the taste of the dish i had.. i was looking for Dosa and sambar and i got what i looked for and taste was also good and can be recommended. Felt happy and satisfied ..!!

Although the website states that Mr.Idly is open from 10.30, we arrived at 12.25 to be told, "Open in five minutes". We decided on the non-veg buffet and weren't disappointed. There were two meat dishes (chicken and lamb), three veg. (potatoes, aubergines and mixed veg.),...

I was taken to this place for the first time, I had no idea what to expect but the food was delicious. I am more or less a veggie and the menu was extensive, I would love to come back for a buffet or similar...

Was there last week and saw Prakash Padukone (former all england champion- badminton), asked him for a selfie and he said yes:) Food here is generally good, specially their Dosas.

I visited this place with a friend of mine...ordered a chicken lollipop, a masala dosa, and a paneer masala dosa... The chicken lollipop that was served was hardly bigger than bits of chicken(just 4 pieces) it wasn't properly cooked with the sauces and tasted too...

We don't often visit Birmingham although we live nearby. We saw Mr Idly and thought we would try it on our next visit as we had some great Dosa in Kerala. The dosa we had at Mr Idly were at least as good as those...

Visited regularly for last two weeks and tried almost all vegetarian menu. Very good. Feel like home.

In my honest opinion, it's bit expensive comparing with Chennai dosa - Smethwick. In addition, we need to pay for parking too.

Giving them 2 stars only because of their tea which was very good. But the masala dosa was terrible. Dosa wasn't crunchy at all, chutneys were very average and sambar was really bad.

Coming from hardcore south India I cannot compare taste of the food in West Midlands to native Chennai wherein idli , dosa, pongal, poori, upma all are staple food made at home and hotels. Yet the taste of the food can be far improved.More vegetables...

Went today for a quick lunch... had masala dosa.. was absolutely delicious... very good flavours.. used to be Chennai dosa, but I think Mr Idly is much better in taste... very quick service..highly recommend..

We booked in here a party of six by telephone to celebrate a birthday. When we arrived we were seated and left. We had to asked for drinks, we all ordered lager that was listed on the menu and was told they do not serve...

The better version of the Chennai Dosa restaurant, which used to reside here previously. Nice south Indian food and well priced, but the potions were a touch small. Not many options in the all-you-can-eat-buffet. Seating arrangement was ok, and the waiter who attended to us...

Went with my partner yest eve. The dishes we selected were well balanced and nicely spiced. Generous portions and good value too. Will definitely be going again !

Friendly staff. All the items ordered were very tasty and reasonably priced. As with many places of this type, card payments are not accepted so you must carry enough cash. Would visit again.

Typical South Indian restaurant. Lunchtime buffet, perfect looking dosa and completely scummy. If you are looking for South Indian food this side of Birmingham, look no more.
