Idly Vada Bistro

We were craving for south Indian food and found this Gem in Aurora. We ordered Button idli, ghee idli, ghee roast Dosa and karampuram Dosa. Everything was freshly made and very authentic Andhra tasting food. We loved our server Madhu who accommodated us with our special request. Overall 5 out of 5 stars. We will come back to try other dishes. Also we had the Filter coffee and it was great. Felt like having breakfast in India. Thanks for your amazing service to our community. The best part was my bill was under $50 compared to Simply south or A2b double the price.

Visited this place during their Thursday "Special Chaat Night," which advertises any chaat for $3.99. Unfortunately, the promotion feels more like clever marketing than an actual deal. The prices may look attractive at first, but the portions are significantly smaller than what nearby restaurants offer. For example, Naanis Cafe serves 6 pani puris for $5.99, while IdlyVadaBistro serves only 4 pani puris for $3.99. When you compare the quantity, you're essentially paying about the same price per serving, so the "special" doesn't provide much additional value. The same issue applies to the pav bhaji. The portion size was noticeably small, and they literally served what felt like half a pav, making the dish feel overpriced despite the advertised special pricing. As for the taste, it was mostly average, and some items were below average. The dahi puri was particularly disappointing. The curd was extremely sweet—so sweet that it completely overpowered all the other flavors. It also had a thick consistency that resembled idli/dosa batter rather than the light, balanced yogurt typically used in dahi puri. The result was a dish where the only flavor that stood out was sugar. Overall, I

I love their concept of packing idly in/with a banana leaf, it brings a unique/rich smell and taste like the ones in Vijayawada streets. We enjoyed their breakfasts since their start but recently discovered the Non-Veg menu to be equally good. We had Mixed Mandi and Rava dosa today along with Filter coffee, Mandi(portion can be improved) is by far the best out there and Rava dosa is much much better than Simplysouth or Chowrastha. Their menu is much cheaper than any other restaurant in the Chicago Suburbs, hopefully they continue to be pocket friendly and soulful! Rava Dosa - 5/5 Mandi - 4.8/5 Coffee - 5/5

I tried the chaat items here and it was delicious. The pani puri and the dhahi puri were very good and less spicy. I loved the overall chaat items. It was clean and neatly served. Would recommend to try the chaat items for sure.
