Pavani Express

YES! YES! YES! Pavani Express is back in San Antonio. For years the dosa scene in San Antonio wasn’t very competitive. Then Pavani comes back and blows anything in town out of the water.This is a no frills South Indian eatery that delivers flavor and value.The samosas I ordered were cooked and seasoned to total perfection, and they give you generous portions of sauces to dip it in. Outside was flakey and inside was soft and flavorful.Dosas are made fresh. Be warned they DO NOT travel well. They are best eaten fresh, as they do get soggy so this is not a To-go dish.Do not sleep on Pavani express and their awkward gas station location. Seriously delicious authentic and hardy. Enjoy!

I recently discovered Pavani Express through a message in a group chat, and I decided to give it a try. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much in terms of taste or quality, but I was pleasantly surprised! The food was absolutely delicious, with flavors that reminded me of homemade meals. It was a comforting and satisfying experience that I didn’t see coming.While the wait time was quite long, the quality of the food made it completely worth it. In fact, I wouldn’t have minded waiting even longer if necessary, because the end result was that good. If they offered a daily meal plan, I’d definitely make this a regular stop and skip cooking at home entirely!Pavani Express has really set a high standard for authentic and quality food, and I’m glad I gave it a chance. If you’re looking for a place with exceptional taste and a homely vibe, I’d highly recommend this restaurant. The wait might test your patience, but trust me, the food will reward you. I’ll certainly be back soon in no less than 24 hours!

I adore this place! Three times: dosa masala, dosa masala with pakora, and rava dosa. Three times yum !And the Boondi ladoo !!!!! Wow.The counter guys are always super nice and informative.I'll be back.Again and again and again.

I am from south and got to tell you, they have the best south veg food in San Antonio. People inside are friendly too and the lady always smile at you. Nice people.

The best Indian restaurant I have ever tasted in San Antonio. Its very authentic and economical. Highly recommend it.

Really enjoyed our Chicken 65 and Egg Biryani, eaten with chapati and puri breads. Definitely need to order more bread next time! Order and pick up at counter, pay when you're done eating (also at counter). No frills place, but super yummy so we'll be back to try more items. Friendly owners.

Love the South Indian food specially the dosa was Awesome (size & taste) also Medhu Vada was freshly cooked

Very humble and clean atmosphere . The dosa was amazing . I recommend coming for a quick bite of Indian food here. The dosa reminds me of my times traveling in India they had a Govindas Restaurant and they served such great dosa.
