Customers rave about their experience, and it's easy to see why. As Dhruv Limbani mentions, this café captures the essence of South Indian spices perfectly, especially with their aromatic filter coffee and delicious chai. Kanchan Jadoun shares how the owner generously offered sample tastings, proving the confidence behind their delicious menu items like idly, dosa, and lemon rice, all served at a price point that won't break the bank.

Those looking for a quick bite will find their taste buds tantalized by the Onion Pakodi and Pungulu, which make for perfect companions alongside your favorite beverage. The atmosphere is indeed lively and may require a bit of patience during peak lunch hours, as noted by Madan Dedhia, but trust us when we say, the food quality and cozy vibe make the wait worthwhile.

In a nutshell, Kakatiya Cafe isn’t just a cafe; it's an experience. With each dish meticulously prepared and served with warmth, it stands as a testament to the rich culinary heritage of South India.

Small but amazing place for great quality and delicious food. Earlier I had ordered food at home online and was satisfied with the food quality so thought of visiting for lunch. Had Tawa idli, veg thali, filter Coffee and chai. Veg thali is delicious. Tawa idli is great. Not to miss the hot beverage. Lunch time you might have to wait for few minutes to get a seat, but it's worth the wait. Very reasonable prices.
