This is one my go to South Indian restaurants in the bay area. Located in Santa Clara, and close by India Cash and Carry store. They have wide variety of South Indian dishes, and all of them tastes good. Their Thali's on Weekends particularly have good menu items. The pricing is economical too and service is quick.

Food is definitely good and authentic.We had ghee kara masala dosa, thali , rava onion dosa and Mysore masala.All of the dishes were very good fresh.dosas were crispy. Thali is a must try.Its really crowded on weekends, so expect a wait of 10-20 mins. filter coffee is also good.Service was slow and we had to remind them of our orders.

Mar 2024 update: Skimpflation has stuck, all self serve now. ?Nov 2021 update: Skimpflation - service has fallen - perhaps understandable and temporary. But skimping on chutney and masala quantities has no acceptable excuse, especially after a 25% hike in prices. ? It hurts to write this about a one time favorite.Among the best all vegetarian restaurants serving authentic South Indian cuisine. And among the few that open for breakfast - idli and dosa are a staple breakfast food in the entire southern end of India... And you can have it fresh off the stove right here in the Bay Area!(I love their Rava Masala Dosa! And if you are looking for the ultimate rava dosa - have them make it using "ghee" for an extra buck!)Enjoy!
Ordered Veg Thali, nothing special about the food. Service was friendly.

Not sure anyone noticed this, but walking into komala vilas has fish stink nowadays. Why because folks go back and forth between the biriyani house next door and here many times in a day. May be the kitchen is connected in the back. Why pick up a good South Indian vegetarian restaurant and add flavor that some days evoke the true muniyandi vilas' ambience. May be that was the reason! Wondering!! ?
