"Ammachi Idly & Dosa - A Hidden South Indian Gem in Harrow! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ammachi Idly & Dosa in Harrow, and I must say, this place is an absolute treat for South Indian food lovers! The restaurant has undergone a recent renovation, and the ambiance is both cozy and modern, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The service, while a bit time-consuming, was worth every minute. Each dish we ordered was freshly prepared and served piping hot. A special shout-out to Pradeebha, who not only gave us a warm welcome but truly enhanced our experience. She listened carefully to our preferences and gave us spot-on recommendations that we thoroughly enjoyed. Her attention to detail and friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. Now, onto the food – we ordered a range of dishes including 1. Filter Coffee - 10/10 2. Masala Tea - 10/10 3. Upma - 10/10 4. Idli - 10/10 5. Masala Dosa - 7/10 6. Pongal - 7/10 Every single dish was exceptional! The flavors were spot-on, the presentation was lovely, and the portion sizes were just right. The food had that authentic South Indian taste that’s often hard to find, and the highlight was the array of chutneys they served – simply divine! What I also loved was the variety on the menu. The restaurant offers a wide selection of South Indian vegetarian dishes, so there’s something for everyone. The pricing is incredibly fair, and they even have offers running throughout the day, which makes it an even better deal. The restaurant itself was spotless and well-maintained, adding to the overall positive experience. It’s undoubtedly one of the best South Indian spots in town. No need to make the trip all the way to Wembley anymore – Ammachi Idly & Dosa is right here with its authentic flavors and variety. Trust me, rather than ordering online, it’s worth visiting in person to soak in the full experience. If you’re craving genuine South Indian food in a welcoming atmosphere, this place is a must-visit!"

"We’ve been to this place multiple times, and it never disappoints – truly the best South Indian food in London. The dosas are always perfectly crisp, the sambar is full of rich, bold flavour, and the chutneys are fresh and delicious. The idlis and menduwadas are soft, light, and just right every time. Their South Indian breakfast is a definite winner – a satisfying combination of all the classics. And the filter coffee? Strong, smooth, and just like the ones back home. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the service is always quick. Every visit feels like a slice of South India. Highly recommended!"

"The food is absolutely delicious and closely resembles the authentic taste of traditional Indian cuisine. The quality of the dishes and the flavors truly stand out, making the dining experience very enjoyable. The service is also excellent, and the food served by Ganesh was especially impressive rich in flavour and incredibly tasty. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone living in the UK who wishes to experience the true and authentic taste of Indian food. A special recommendation goes to the Mysore Masala Dosa, which is exceptionally delicious, flavourful, and a must-try for anyone visiting the restaurant."

"Really nice South Indian inspired breakfast in Harrow. As it was a Sunday, we opted for the unlimited breakfast at £9.99, which also included a drink. We went for the coffee, which was lovely."

"I visited the restaurant today, and the experience was genuinely wonderful. The food was amazing, and the service was quick and on point, which made everything even better. The star item for me was the Mysore masala dosa so flavourful and comforting, it instantly reminded me of the dosas I used to have in India. The idly, vada, and sambar were also really good, with that nostalgic taste that makes you feel at home. I had a great time here, and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves South Indian food or just good food in general. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!"

"Visited Amachi Idli & Dosa on Station Road, Harrow again today, and as always, the food did not disappoint. I had idli sambar, vada sambar, and tea, and everything was fresh, flavourful, and absolutely delicious. The sambars were well balanced, comforting, and tasted very authentic. I’ve visited this place earlier as well and have tried their masala dosa and rava dosa, both of which I really enjoy. The dosas are crisp, well cooked, and served with good accompaniments. It’s one of those places where you can rely on consistency and authentic South Indian flavours. Overall, a great spot for simple, honest South Indian food. Highly recommended if you’re in or around South Harrow and craving idli, dosa, or a good cup of tea."
