Avoid This Overpriced Trap: A Masterclass in Mediocrity
Lured in by a baffling 4.4-star Google rating, I walked into this cafe expecting a premium experience. What I actually received was a masterclass in culinary disappointment and daylight robbery.
If you are craving authentic South Indian food, save your time and money. Here is why this place is an absolute letdown:
Exorbitant Prices, Zero Value: The pricing here is downright offensive. When compared to established, high-quality staples like Saravana Bhavan, Madras Cafe, or Anand Bhavan, this place charges a premium while delivering a fraction of the value.
Subpar, Half-Cooked Food:
The $10 Idli was a disaster—sticky, undercooked, dumped in a cheap disposable container, and served with a single, lonely chutney.
The Dosa was a greasy, thick, floppy mess that bore zero resemblance to what a proper dosa should be.
The "Raita" was a joke. It was literally just watered-down, plain buttermilk with absolutely no vegetables in it.
Horrible, Reheated Tea: The tea was virtually undrinkable. Instead of a fresh brew, they served a stale, reheated liquid that tasted nothing like authentic tea.
Zero-Effort Service: Despite the astronomical prices, they operate on a strict self-service model. You have to fetch your own food and bus your own sticky table when you leave. Compounding the cheap vibe, every piece of cutlery is disposable, and they don’t even bother to put water on the tables.
The Verdict: You can easily get 5x better service, superior food quality, and larger portions elsewhere for the exact same price. Do not believe the inflated rating. Do not go here.
