Justtiffins - Bellevue

Ordered takeout for Medhu Vada and Onion Rava Masala Dosa. Medhu Vada was good but Dosa was bad. One look at the Dosa should have been enough for them to realize that the pan was not hot enough for Dosa to be properly cooked and redo it again insteadof simply sending it in the takeout order, see photo of the fully white Dosa with no real brown color to speak of. Also themasala quantity was very little. Not 1* as Vada was good, not 3* because how could they ignore the white color of Dosa?

The restaurant was very dirty, cluttered with containers/packages, and the food was mediocre. The official food safety rating was good , not excellent. We probably would have left immediately but the group was too hungry.

Finally adding another south indian restaurent to my go to list along with anjappar. Had south indian thali and 'meal deal ' which includes bisi bellabath, veg pulav, curry and curd rice. Thali and this was very delicious. I loved the sambar. I feel ifa restaurent is able to make this delicious there is very high hopes that the rest of the dishes will also be good. Highlyrecommend if you are looking for a good south indian food.

Update: The restaurant has moved to a new location. I ordered tiffin combo, the sambar was watery, idli and vada was hard. I find the cleanliness and the quality of the food has gone down a lot. Just Tiffins seems to be a restaurant thatserves dishes from Tamilnadu, a south Indian state. I have been trying different south Indian place for sambar and i finally mysearch ended in Just Tiffens. I ordered mini meals and it had sambar rice, appalam, curd rice , Rava kesari and pumpkin curry.The sambar rice was just perfect, it's not too spicy and yet it had the nice aroma of the spices and with appalam it tasted evenbetter. I liked the curd rice too. The Rava kesari was right mix of ghee, nuts and pineapple flavour. I ordered medu Vada and itwas the best i ever had in US. It's soft, crispy and doesn't have too much.

I ordered the Medhu Vada and Onion Rava Masala Dosa. The Medhu Vada was enjoyable, but unfortunately, the Dosa was disappointing. Just by looking at it, it was clear that the pan wasn’t hot enough, resulting in a dosa that was undercooked and poorly executed—it looked completely white with no appealing browning (see photo). Additionally, the amount of masala filling was quite sparse. I can’t give it a 1-star rating because the Vada was good, but I also can’t give it 3 stars due to the oversight with the Dosa’s color and quality.
