Swathi Tiffins

The food here is incredibly delicious, especially their mushroom biryani. All the tiffins are authentic Indian and give a great vibe. However, the ambiance is not very good. It’s self-service, which is fine, but it would be better to place a pickup order.

I think of Swathi tiffins mostly as a take out place although there are tables and chairs and we've eaten in a couple of times. It's really almost self serve for sit in, very basic. We mostly order take out. We really enjoy the food. It tends to be on the spicy side, but we enjoy the paneer biriyani, mirchi bajji, and their dosas/uthhappams are decent. We also really enjoy their peanut and tomato chutney accompaniments as well as salna. What I find a bit hard to tolerate is their overall service for take out. They'll often say pick up in 30m, you arrive 40m later, the order would still not be ready and you'll be waiting for another 10m or more (sometimes even when they don't seem particularly busy). Worse, at least 3 times now, for large orders, they end up leaving items out even _despite

Swathi Tiffins in Sunnyvale is my go-to spot for breakfast and evening tiffin, usually via DoorDash. My favorites are the idli, masala dosa, upma, and especially the Mysore bhaji—a unique offering that’s flavorful and reminiscent of North Karnataka. I’ve also tried the stuffed and cut mirchi, which carries the same North Karnataka touch, and the Vijayawada paneer biryani, which was tasty as well. The food is well-packed for delivery and always arrives fresh. 🥗 Quick Tip: Don’t miss the Mysore bhaji—it’s their hidden gem!

This whole thing went into trash. To be honest the whole place is like trash. I came here for breakfast and they are cleaning the floor with a high concentrate soap(which they should be doing night before closing) and the place smells so horrible. Couldnt sit there for a minute. Ordered a Rava onion dosa(which is supposed to be crispy) its soggy and not fresh. Only thing good was sambar. Had two cups of it and thats all. Too worst experience.

Had a wonderful experience at Swathi Tiffins, Sunnyvale. I tried the Mini Thali and a few other dishes, and every item tasted just like home food. The flavors were purely Andhra style. After many years, I finally found authentic South Indian Andhra taste in a restaurant. Loved it very much!
