Rating steady at 4.0 stars over last 12 months. Recent reviews emphasize authentic taste but note spice levels.

The food was absolutely great. I took Thalia and was so full. It's also very cheap. Highly recommended. It tasted like how you'd cook at home. Everything was good.

As a regular customer, I'd love to share my experience at Sri’s kitchen , a simple South Indian vegetarian restaurant that's a must-visit! The hospitality is warm and welcoming, making you feel like you're dining at home. Their dishes are authentic, flavorful, and freshly prepared - I'm obsessed with their crispy dosas, rich sambars, and aromatic filter coffee. The staff is super courteous, and the owner even takes the time to greet guests and offer recommendations. Trust me, the taste and quality are worth every penny. With its traditional decor and comfortable seating.

Loved the food at Sri’s Kitchen! Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and very homestyle. The menu has a great variety of South Indian dishes like dosas, idli, vada and thalis, so there’s something for everyone when group of friends come together. The dosas were crispy, the idlis were super soft, and the flavors felt comforting and well balanced. Portions are good and prices are reasonable too. Overall, a great spot in San Jose for simple, delicious Indian food. Will definitely be coming back! 😋🍽️

Not for the faint of hearted when it comes to spicy foods. Ordered a ragi masala dosa and plain idlis—sambhar was hot as was the dosa!! We barely had the sambhar. The food tasted quite good (note that we had scorched taste buds). The prices were higher than what you see on the menus on Google Maps—likely yet to be updated. Well located but we went on a holiday so parking was easy to find—but given its location I’d say it may be hard on a working day—it is in a big commercial hub. I did find the food slightly on the pricier side but might be because of the location as well.
