- On the streets of Bangalore, India, the mother & son duo behind Iyer Idly serve hundreds of idlis a day. These savory rice and lentil cakes used to be the only thing on the menu of Iyer Idly for over 19, but now that that business has taken off and customers crave diversity, they’ve expanded the menu to include other popular South Indian street food.

His last quote said it all. A man who can go to bed peacefully at night is the most successful of them all. May we have more of his tribe! 👋
I think the key is to stay authentic and honest to the profession.... no addition of artificial flavour enhancers like baking soda and MSD is the key to staying authentic, thereby causing to create a huge loyal customer base
@@shankhadeepmandal978 baking soda is not a artificial flavour enhancers......

So true this man had
Faith and like the Romans said Fortune favors the brave

Hello All,
This is Krishnan Mahadevan, the owner of Iyer Idly - the restaurant featured in this video. Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for your comments and support. Means so much to us and our family :')
Just wanted to clarify a point on the language being spoken in the video. I'm a pure Bangalorean. Been here all my life. My family of the last 3 generations have lived here and supported the land. Me, as a pure bred Bangalorean consider Kannada as my first language. I respect the language, the land and the people that have supported us and helped us survive. I'm proficient (both reading and writing and conversational) with Kannada. It's just that my mother isn't fluent enough like me (she knows the language) and since it was from the international media, we didn't want any issues with grammatical errors on screen. Hence she had to converse in the language she was comfortable, Tamil. She speaks Kannada otherwise and considers this as her homeland.
Thank you all once again for your support :)
ಜೈ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ 💛❤️
Awesome bro! Cheers to you and to mami ma'm.
I too am like you - tamilian from Tayi Karnataka - proficient in both but more comfortable in the lingua kannada!
Hope to visit your store in the near future and enjoy khara chutney, like!
God bless you
I don't understand both languages but we love all Indian languages. So happy for your success!!
Great story man. Just idly and chutney a remarkable journey!
Sir, your story is very insprational and I wish you even more success and good will.
Thank you for sharing!
This boy Krishnan was my student. Gud to see him doing well. I hv seen him go thru the tough time wen he lost his dad. N indeed saw his Transition of taking over the responsibility. God bless him in his endeavour ❤️
Great
i wish he sees ur commnt
Thank you Heera. ❤️
Sowmya ma'am! Thank you so much. Your comment means a lot to me. Thank you for being a constant backbone and a support to me throughout my tenure in college ❤️
@@krishnanmahadevan6909 can TH-cam frame this exchange asap... any time you have folks arguing - bam!! you show this...
Munchies, please note, this is what we want when we ask for more Indian food content. Food that the common person eats..
Not that tooktook advertisement shit which you get paid to promote.
Thank you for this.
Very well said.
YES PLEASE!
For all you know, it was the revenue generated by that video that made this video possible.
Yeah, no more butter chicken and naan please!
Leaving a 9-5 job to continue the legacy of his pops is a big step.
You could see the satisfaction in his eyes that's something we all want in our life😌
Wishing him best wishes for the future ☺️

This is the real deal man. This is the soul of our country, these small shops that put their hearts into the food they're serving.
Well said brother. You are right. So sweet of you dear. 🙏
The lady was so endearing when she willingly gave away the recipe and other tips. Shows that her passion is to not make money but serve her delicious food to everyone. When a business woman is this passionate, she is bound to succeed. We need more entrepreneurs like her.
Yes you are right. Normally no body will reveal the secret of the taste. God Bless them.
This guy is so grounded and sorted in his thought process. To give up a investment banking job to sell idlis sounds so ridiculous but this boy did it bcoz he followed his passion and the best part was when he said the idli business was the only thing he had of his father which he didn't want to let go...Blessings🙌
he didnt quit his job for a new business. its already established and he just concentrated on that. if he would have quit his job and then started a new business it would be something else. this is wat i feel :)
I loved how the aunty said "Chutney making is not a big secret, it's the same all over". No mam! A good chutney makes all the difference. Yet, she doesn't really care if someone else tries to make it too. I think that differentiates the mindset of big businesses and home chefs.
They say they not to give away the secret recipe 😉
@@sansore8868 Dude This is no big secret.The products they use are in much Great Quality.Thats why the taste is greater.Every Cook has their Unique Taste Right.
The dude is well educated, fit enough to get a highly paying job. Yet he has decided to continue his father's legacy. RESPECT!!!🔥
He earns a lot more in this business than in any high pay jobs he would get in India.
@@ashker3389 most likely not
@@ashker3389 yup that's true
9:10 "I go to bed peacefully at night, so I guess I'm successful that way."
What a line man!!
Indeed. How many people earn huge amounts of money, live in huge houses, and yet have lives of turmoil and misery?
Dude explaining the idli making should be a new chapter in Chemistry Subject...
" Idli is a rice cake where batter In liquid state gets converted to solid state when it steamed"
As a Kannadiga and a Tamizhan in one, it is nice to see both languages and cultures represented!! :D
@@duncansantan born and raised in Chennai
@@bluedabeast ok ie kannadiga in chennai..
ohh damn i can relate to that so muchh, having karnataka as my hometown and then studying here in tamil nadu.. hits different
chal 2 plate laga
I've been living in Vignananagar for quite long and been visiting this place quite often to get idlis for our family since the early 2000 when Krishnan dad along with his mother looking after this place...
Krishnan a school going kid then,
My elder son Harsha Aiyappa and Krishnan are good friends and of almost the same age...
Krishnan has become an entrepreneur after his dad's demise whereas my son started working in an American company in a good position...
Circumstances in life makes one to take extreme steps to handle things better, and Krishnan is an example even though he runs just this place...
Almost everyday I keep seeing him serving idlis to customers who queue up for idlis along with his staff, some going back empty handed late in the evening as limited stock of idlis getting over soon enough...
He's a good example for many youngsters, who's quite contented and successful with his business of selling quality idlis to masses.
Wishing him all the best.

You have no idea how happy this video has made me. So proud of our Indian people who are so down to earth. Hat’s off to Mother and Son.💕
Those idlis and vada with chutney looks heavenly. Its the best breakfast option and I can't have enough of it. Its always these small shops which see food with alot of love and soul. Looking forward to such more gems in future.
This is so much of a better representation of Indian food compared to the Took Took series.
Mark my words - "this guy is true genius and honest.. he will make it a brand soon"
Now THIS is great!! Thank you for the series, Munchies 😘
What a great guy! Has such a positive aura, loved his spirit
It brings so much joy and tears that my favourite spot has been on Munchies. Everything about this episode is so emotional and thanks for just bringing this on ❤️

Mother and son heart are so clean. God bless the mother to raise a son with clean heart.
A service done with heart, is the biggest service 👍🏼🙏🏼 all the best Iyer idly. Keep up the good work. Will visit someday for sure.
“People come to me because I serve good food” that’s the spirit my man
He's definitely a gutsy person, risk taker. Well done.
I love Iyer idlis... during my pregnancy days,Iyer idli was one among the strongest cravings esp in the evenings... go quickly to catch that last night batch of idlis...aunty is always humble... love to aunty for taking care of young ladies who are away from their homes...
I worked in India. Props to someone that goes after their dreams.
Going to get out the book of dosas I bought in Fort Cochin 7 years ago and make some idli. This video brought back many recipes of the delicious South Indian food we ate while we were there😋
This is the most beautiful and lovable job in this world . giving a nice food with a pinch love and affection ; what else you need . we are really admire this gentle and Mom. keep it up . !
Congratulations to " IYER IDLY "
For you have gave such lovely breakfast for the public and have grown a lot in this business
It is not an easy thing to withstand in a business like yours
All these many years you have been such a blessing for the people or vignan Nagar
Enjoyed the idli wada each time I 've eaten them with the magical chutney...
Beautiful family, good bless your hard work and sincerity 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Food delicious - love the mom she's so amazing
What a great family! I'll be sure to go to Iyer Idli if I'm ever in Bangalore.
This did put smile on my face. Can't wait to visit this when I go to Banglore next.
So humble loving and respectful
Looking this video got tears in my eyes as idli is my favorite thing to have and today it's been a month that I moved to north India, a place where everyday I crave for idli.. hope I come back to Bangalore sooner and taste hotel made Idlis.. soft and spongy and hot..
great guy, we need more people like him and his family
Not many understand the satisfaction of doing business. It takes a toll on our health, but I believe it is worth it.
When heard the amma speak in tamil I knew how the idli tastes 😋
An awesome person who choose and listened to his heart than money mind. May he blessed by Bhaghwan Venkateshwara with good health wealth in all his future endeavours.
More success to you brother. Truely inspiring . On my list for my next visit to Bangalore
I wish one day i get to taste your iconic idly.the thing that made me watch the video till end was your confidence in your narrative.a great video
what great genuine people!
I live in Bangalore but I have not been here..we all talk abt the famous restaurants in Bangalore like vidhyarthi bhavan but now we know iyer idli...I will definitely go there..
He sounds really hardworking. Its so intense.
I want to visit and have your idlis when I visit Bangalore.You have set an example for the young generation to pursue a profession which is close to your heart and a blessing to those thousands who relish the food 👍👏God bless
Blessing to you....great business and even better outlook on life!
one thing he could introduce is bananna leaves for takeaways. eco friendly and supports local economy as well.
Good for you man. Happy to hear Tamil from your mother. Congrats and keep growing!
my god man love your story, it resonates with where I am standing now in life
2:58 that's the spirit and love of Amma .. 😊
Hats off Krishnan For your passion to serve people with good quality food leaving a lucrative job .
Our own Iyer Idli is finally here, their chutney is simply the best I have ever tasted with a sour flavor idli! It was Idli only till 2020, then a vada!
inspirational family. Especially loved the bit about continuing the business in his dad's memory.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story.
No so called secret recipe only pure love in this food.
Amazing work Krishnan remember studying with you in school always seemed like an intellectual person congrats 🥳
excellent keep it going Iyer Idly wish you and your family a happy new year 2022 from germany
Good for you. If you are earning a living doing what you love, that is the definition of success. Wishing you all the very best.
he was succesful at choosing where his heart lies, and already won at that point :D
the rest is just a bonus
This is a fantastic idli joint , absolutely mouthwatering idli n vada, lucky Bangalore folks❤️👌 wish it was in Mumbai too....... Regards Shalini
Wow!!! what biggest step you have taken.... your dad would be proud of you Sir.
Juz love his attitude….shows his upbringing is grt….hats off to his old mother n him….God bless n hope you reach Guinness books for best idlis ❤️👍🏻
Best wishes to the Iyer Idly "FAMILY" Keep serving while we keep eating 😀
Loved this video, wholesomeness at its finest🥰✨! Idli is so delicious! For people that haven’t tried it, highly recommend to buy idli batter. You can find it at most Indian markets.
dont buy that fake batter with chemical, male ur own
@@BlackMamba-lt8oe 😂😂.. Give a try .. It won't mutat you like omicron 😁.. if it does may be you become a superman can fly while eating. 👍
@@rajkumar_real bro i make my own batter no need for fake batters, 😂😂😂😂,
@@BlackMamba-lt8oe that's great bro..
Excellent. God Bless this guy for his positivity
I appreciate the young man devotion and confidence
I'm super proud of you, krishnan sir❤ I'm so glad I was your student ❤
It's very rare to see people standing in a queue at a restaurant to take their order.
Iyer Idli is one of them.
Good to see this place get the recognition it deserves!
amazing! grit and passion.. very inspiring
One of the best breakfast I miss after moving to Pakistan from Dubai, my taste buds still miss the taste of south Indian breakfast .
In the corporate world, Krishnan would have never seen a real happy and smiling customer but in the Idly shop, I bet he sees 100s of smiling and happy customers and some of them even taking selfies. That says a lot. MY one suggestion would be to include molagai podi and gingelly oil.
It's not the idly, it's your dedication which makes it good and a touch of mothers hand
Wow such a humble and simple story of quality and success.
Will try when i come over to Bangalore
Loved it. Way to go, all the best to Krishnan & his mother 🙏
This man spoke from his heart, i resonate with him
Great work Munchies ....kudos to mom,son and people behind it:)
He is exact replica of his mother. There's a saying, boys who resemble their mother are always successful ...
This IDLY is equal to amrutam, I am eating every day same idly and kesri bath. Taste is really awesome and very hygiene.I will eat until my last day on the earth. No one can replace IYER IDLY in Banglore.
Inspiring for youngsters... stay blessed generally iyers are hardworking honest n intelligent
That's where passion remains, eventually what makes you happy, that's what you should pursue
The joy of idli
And time to shake
The voice of beer
And some sweet to taste
That mother is speaking Tamil...Tamil nadu idli
*Idli belongs to all of humanity.*
Great story. Good for him and his mom.
I cant explain how much I am addicted to this shop......I forgot my how many times I came to this shop......it's near my house.
