ThayirSadam

Delicious, hearty, healthy vegetarian south Indian vegetarian food like I never had before! The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is very nice. It's my new favorite lunch spot in Berkeley! The medium TS with oats and lots of toppings is a solid meal!

Saw this restaurant on my way home from school and was surprised to see a restaurant named after a staple dish from my culture! Thaiyir Sadam has always been a comfort food for me, something my mom prepared for me at the end of a long day or something I can cook up if I'm running around everywhere. This restaurant does justice to such an iconic dish. The toppings are great, the actual rice and yogurt are perfect consistency. If you're not south Indian and are curious to try a spicy and yet umami dish, give it a go!

I had never tried this dish before and it was delicious! I also tried pretty much all the snack things and they were all so amazing! The worker also took the time to explain it all to me so I knew how to order and could figure out what I wanted to have. Great food and great service!

This is really authentic thayir sadam. We got the protein bowl blast. The service was great and the protein bowl blast was really unique and savory.

Lovely experience with fresh food!! Will get with fewer toppings next time and chill it in the fridge before eating. Absolutely delicious, will come again!

The food is really good and you can taste the freshness in it. I was not sure if the person working there was the owner or just an employee but he was super nice. I couldn’t get his name but I just want to give him a shout out. Super nice guy and makes the food himself. He really was kind and helped someone who was a little confused through the entire menu with patience. Excellent food and great service. Definitely recommend it.

Intrigued by the name we walked in to find some nostalgic Tamil comfort food - snacks were nice, Chai not so great

A fresh and authentic rendition of the classic comfort food - made of rice, freshly made yogurt, and seasoning for flavor. This is served with Indian pickle and crispy appalam. There is a toppings bar - mango, carrot, cucumber, coconut, dry fruits, grapes, kiwi, paneer, and garbanzo. We loved it. There is a nice seating within the restaurant. @dr.pal.manickam will be delighted - 2Fs checked - Fermented and Fiber (through vegetables)!
