I’ve never been there physically but I have ordered from them 3-4 times and I love their food. Their idlis are actually like made in South Indian, soft & fluffy. Their dosas are good too. 😋 Though their packaging isn’t great (for home delivery) and also they give the filling aloo separately and that’s less in quantity too. I’ll update this review once I visit them once COVID situation is better.

The best south indian food there is in South Delhi... Must try their speciality dosas.

Great place to explore south indian food. I have never seen the varieties of dosas they have. We had ordered malleswaram dosa, rava masala dosa and paddu. Everything was very delicious. Service is good. Staff is polite. They offer quality food. The fragrance of desi ghee in the meal cant be missed. They offer three chutneys (coconut, tomato and mint). These were also very tasty. Will highly recommend this place and will surely visit again to try other dosas!! :-)))))

I visited Carnatic Cafe with high hopes of indulging in some authentic South Indian cuisine, given its reputation as one of Delhi's best South-Indian restaurants. Regrettably, my experience fell short of expectations. I ordered their masala dosa, rava masala dosa, and kesari bath, only to be disappointed by the excessive oiliness in the dishes. The masala dosa, in particular, left me astounded as oil seemed to overflow with every bite. Furthermore, the kesari bath lacked the expected flavor, resembling nothing more than rava soaked in an abundance of oil. Even their sambar was below average. In my opinion, Carnatic Cafe may be somewhat overhyped and fails to justify a visit. Delhi now has a variety of South Indian eateries that surpass this one. Ratings: Masala dosa: 2/5 Rava masala dosa: 3/5 Kesari bath: 1/5

I visited Carnatic Cafe in GK M Block market. Just like all Carnatic Cafe the ambience is nice . They have standard ambience for all their outlets. I have ordered my favourite Malleshwaram 18th cross Dosa Neer Dosa Thaatey idli puddu idli Neer dosa is very good, it has a cloth like texture and made from coconut and white butter. They serve unique Coconut jaggery chutney with neer dosa which was good. Thaatey idli and puddu idlis are amazing as well. Puddu idlis are shallow fried idlis Malleshwaram dosa was as usual amazing. Service was really good and prompt despite cafe was completely packed. overall nice experience.

Undoubtedly one of the finest restaurants serving South Indian fare in Delhi NCR. The place is minimally done, well lit and had soothing carnatic music playing in the background. Adequate seating arrangement is also there. We went there to grab breakfast on a Sunday. We were attended a little late for my liking however the order was delivered very quickly. We had ordered filter coffee, mysore masala dosa and malleshwaram dosa. Both the dosas were finger licking good. Filter coffee was just okayish. For dessert we had a scoop of vanilla blueberry icecream. It was given in a cute coconut shell and was again very very good. I feel the plating can be improved and also they need to have a provision for ramp for people with special needs. I also didn't see any high chairs for the babies. I hope the management incorporates these changes to make this cafe more inclusive and welcoming.

Dishes such as butter masala dosa and others are very rich in oil and ghee and butter. The meal served here would give you bloating and fulfillness of stomach. Keep an antacid tablet to get rid of acidity after eating here. Nice ambiance and wonderful place at affordable cost.

One of the finest south Indian restaurants in Delhi-NCR for sure. The place is located in M Block market- GK 2. The setup is pretty cozy and comfortable and gives a proper family restaurant vibe. They serve authentic south Indian dishes like dosa, vada, idli, rice etc. We ordered the Bombat dosa which was very tasty. The davi vada was good as well. Didn’t particularly like the set dosa so you can avoid it. Do try their filter coffee as well. All preparations are done using desi ghee and the quality of food was great. The staff is prompt and professional but not the most polite or courteous. Service was very quick though. Overall, I’d recommend this restaurant for family get togethers and friend meet ups.

Small restaurant, with positive vibes and authentic karnatka food. The akki roti tasted and reminded me of my college time of my stay in Karnataka and filter cafe was just perfect. The service was too promt and good. The water was served in copper jugs and glasses. Overall a satisfactory experience that I can carry and would love to come to.

Worth a try. I ordered south Indian food and it was lip smacking.

My favourite South Indian restaurant in the entire area. Great variety of options available and the service is really quick. Top quality food. Recommend 10/10

The food here is authentic and tasty. Rasam was outstanding and paddu is a must have snack over here. The staff and service was excellent. However, waiting time at every branch is totally tiring and it also fades off the vibe a little bit.

Awesome South Indian food Here I ordered fresh juices for me and my friend and I tried Dosa I.e Rava Onion and Onion masala. The onion masala dosa was so different as it has onion masala filling inside and they give potato separately in small bowl. Rava onion was also nice . I also tried cucumber juice which was very refreshing. This South Indian you will surely like.

Great place to have South Indian cuisine. Love their workplace idli, set dosa, 36 malleswaram cross to name a few.

Serves authentic and piquant food of Karnataka at reasonable rates along with a cosy ambience.

Good wholesome food. Flavour, portion and variety - 👍🏾 However the staff doesn’t seem too upkeep with cleanliness and hygiene. Seems like a manager would help it be cleaner. The coffee was served all spilled and with beans residue floating.

The richest south Indian food here, full of ghee and pure spices. Do try their Workshop Thatte Idli and the fluffy dosa.

The quality of South Indian cuisine is unparalleled. The food is truly exceptional and the taste is amazing. The Masala Dosa was particularly delicious and I would love to have more. The meals were especially great. Food service was good, good atmosphere

BAD ! WORSE ! WORST ! This was the first time I visited the restaurant on 12th February, 2021. I ordered a Soda which had a HAIR in it. Later, I went to the washroom just after one of the staff person used it. THE STAFF PERSON DID NOT EVEN FLUSH AFTER USING THE WASHROOM. Imagine the Level Of Hygiene they have there !!! IT IS THE WORST ! I wonder if they even wash their hands ! Such people NOT EVEN HAVING BASIC HYGIENE HABITS ! PLEASE DON'T VISIT THIS RESTAURANT ! IT IS MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND ABSOLUTELY GENUINE. When I complained regarding the same the staff people were LEAST CONCERNED ! they were laughing looking at each other. ! The issue was not even taken seriously !!! PLEASE DON'T VISIT HERE ! This is the WORST RESTAURANT With the WORST EMPLOYEE BEHAVIOUR and the WORST HYGIENE.

Hugely popular with a large choice of foods, especially south indian food. Very cost ambience and enough precautions taken during these Covid times. Very nice variety of breads and pastries.

No varrites of dosa and menu

Try 18th Cross Dosa....with light Carnatic music going on in the background while you munch on your crispy Dosa, Carnatic Café stays true to its name.

Great packaging, food is always warm and fresh and delivered on time. Highly recommended!!!

Great food ! Have visited carnatic before at max towers noida. Recently visited here at GK-2 store and tried butter masala dosa, mysore masala dosa, kokum, paddu. Out all these, kokum and paddu was just okay rest dosas were quite authentic and yum. Always recommend for great south indian cuisines.

They make the tastiest dosas in the whole wide world. It's so delicious and finger licking good. I mean it's literally so yummy. Every type of dosa is available here and each one of them is fabulous. For dosa, this place is a must visit one irrespective of whether you like dosa or not. They serve dosa like you never have before. Even the service and vibes were nice. Highly recommended. SUPER DUPER DELICIOUS.

. We ordered our breakfast through Swiggy in Delhi. . Rawa Idli -2 large pieces - excellent quality. . Very soft & hot when it arrived. . 4 chatnis with Sambar - more than enough for 2 ldlis. . All the dishes were fresh and tasty. . Delivered before the expected time. . Carefully packed and decently delivered in the hotel room. . There was no leakage, as all the 6 containers were well packed and . The containers helped to consume the idlis.

Artistic, cute, quirky Elephant in their logo caught my attention while I was roaming in the street of Lodhi and I ended up visiting this place. Later I also visited GK-II outlet and I must say it is one of the finest place in Delhi to have South Indian food. I have tried - 1. Paddu - Crispy and Delicious 2. Rasam Papad - It tasted a little sweet then being tangy and spicy 3. Angai Dosa - It was amazing with podi, white butter and aloo filling on top. Must Try 4. Bombat Dosa and Malleshwaram 18th Dosa - Both were crispy and spice were on point. Almost similar in taste, only difference was of garlic in Bombat Dosa. 5. Manina Maga Dosa - If you love peanut chutney then you must try this. 6. In beverages I tried Cucumber & Mint Soda it was okay but I am sure their filter coffee, kokum and buttermilk would be delicious. I would 100% recommend this place. Food is perfectly priced(definitely value for money). Their staff is polite and helps you with the details of the food. Their interiors are very well done. Especially the light on the top of all the tables is beautiful and authentic.

If you are looking for variety in dosa & South Indian cuisines you should definitely visit Carnatic cafe. This place is famous for their variety of tasty dosa and many more food items. They serve freshly made crispy dosa with tasty sambar & flavourful chutney. If South Indian meal is your soul food this place will definitely fulfil your craving for great food. Must try!

Had breakfast here two days in a row, everything we tried was really tasty, everything was clean and very reasonably priced. You had both spicy and less spicy options, so perfect for travelers. Would absolutely recommend if you’re staying nearby. Lots of vegetarian options as well

This Cafe serves amazing authentic dishes of karnatak. Must try padu, thatte idli. Very famous cafe in this area. The food is excellent but the service is the worst. We went there on Sunday at 12.45 so we managed to get a table but after 1 Pm waiting started outside the cafe. There are only two waiters who are taking care of all tables. The whole time they look into the mobile. We have to speak loudly to call him. He forgot my kid's order to place in the kitchen. Very worst service by their staff. Food is excellent so people come. The price is expensive as per the quantity. Ice cream one scoop is Rs. 170/-

My recent favourite for South Indian food. The Malleshwaram Dosa is heavenly. It's a must try. Everything on their menu is absolutely scrumptious. Also they have a variety of ice creams that are low in sugar and high in taste.

A place somewhat different from the usual Sagar Ratna chain for south Indian food. Plenty of unique dosas available at a reasonable price. Unlike light south indian food at other places, their dosas are heavy, made with desi ghee. Personally I didn't like sambhar as much. Drinks like cucumber soda are frankly not worth it and you can avoid them. Ice creams are served in coconut shells which kids like a lot. There can be a wait of 15-30 mins on a weekend. Paid parking is available right in front on one way street. Service is not as fast in SagarRatna.

I am a big fan of South Indian food. I thought I had tasted it all but I was wrong what I tasted in Carnatic Cafe is just out of the world. Started with hot filter coffee and then moved to Paddu’s- so so delicious! They are piping, hot and every bite is full of flavour. Must have! next r dosas. they have a wide range difficult to choose from. We tasted Malleshwaram at first visit and Bombat in second. OMG both are delicious.! The most difficult part is to find a place here. Make sure to have half an hour at hand. Or go early morning at 10 am. Luckily we found a place quickly both times 😄. The best part is the very courteous staff here. Always with a wonderful smile. Keep it up. Planning to visit soon again

A canteen-style place, mediocre. The staff's attitude stood out to me the most, with poor body language and rude facial expressions. The food is bland and unexciting, failing to make up for the unfriendly demeanor of the servers. It's surprising that such a place is located in a posh area yet falls short in terms of food quality and ambience.

Went out there with family for an easy dinner on a fine Saturday evening. The place was teeming with people. Had to wait for 5 minutes outside the place standing. The place is located on ground floor of Greater Kailash M-Block market. Luckily, we were able to find parking just opposite the restaurant. There are four stair steps that one has to climb, though side railing is there for support but a little pavement before it can be hindrance for people who walk with calipers and walking stick like myself. The place is NOT wheel chair accessible like most of our Indian food joints. People spend crores on embellishments but don't spend iota of their time Or brains on making these places inclusive for a sizable #disabled population of India. However this disabled population is called Divyang. The furniture could have been more comfortable. The tables are okay, made of brass. The chairs are hard. The decor is good. Since it's almost end of October, the atmosphere was cosy. The staff was courteous and service fast. All the items were prepared in pure ghee. The dosas are served with three kinds of chutneys. I personally liked original coconut chutney. The Dahi vada was sweet.The malleshwaram dosa will make you remember parantha made of homemade ghee residue. I found it awesome. The ghee roast dosa is served with potato masala on the side NOT inside. One has to ask for saambar, they don't serve suo motu. The podu are fried idlis like balls. The kesri bath was like light suji halwa. Generally, you feel hungry after an hour or two when you have had South Indian meal. However, this is the first instance when I felt full even when going to bed. Worth giving a try once. You won't regret it. All the same, I would prefer dosa in Lal Sai Market, Lajpat Nagar anytime over any upscale restaurant in Delhi. Street food beats restaurants all the times.

Love the Carnatic Cafe! It takes the concept of a traditional Udupi restaurant (the OG South Indian fast food concept) to the next level. The price point is really good, especially for a posh market like GK, but the seating sometimes feels a little cramped other outlets at 32nd milestone and lodhi road have more space between tables. The food is amazing here, the thalis and the dosas are great! You rarely see Puddus on the menu in Delhi, I'll guarantee they'll become your favourite South Indian snack if you try them once!

Really enjoyed the food, particularly their special Malleshwaram dosa. Service on the other hand has much to be improved on. It didn’t seem like the waiters were coordinating in any way. We ordered two plates of the same dish, one was served then nothing for 20 minutes not to mention the rest of the order. We had to keep asking them for what was going on as the three of us kept staring at one plate of food.

Great food. Nice choice. Ambience an service are satisfactory.

Nice place. Really good food. Gives a nice warm south indian vibe. Highly recommend the Malleswaram special dosa.

Good app

One of my favorite place . I really appreciate the food and the service. We ordered malleshwaram which is one of their specialty and rava coconut dosa in budget. Both were so lipsmacking and it was purely karnataka style. The staff was so polite. Will visit again.

My first experience was ok ok. Food was good and tasty. Nice ambience but don't know why I was the only one feeling hot in my group 😅

Food is awesome.. ambience is also good but toilet needs cleaning.. so can be used by family and kids..

The ghee masala dosa was good but I would recommend the vada. It had the perfect crunch. Decent place for South Indian food

Till now best south Indian restaurant in Delhi ncr I visited food,ambience, staff was great will visit again

Easily the best South Indian restaurant among all the places I have visited. Juggernaut comes a close second but only due to a better ambiance.

I visited this cafe about 6 years ago and I loved it. It's staff was very friendly and food was authentic and delicious. I am remembering it today too and I hope to go there sometime again there...

Great place to have South Indian and coffee

Best South Indian better than South Indian coming from a South Indian.

Delicious dosas.!

Quality deteriorated

Amazing coffee and try out there ice creams

Awesome Dosa. Yummy 😋😋😋😋

Genuine South Indian Mangalorian Dosas.. heavy duty⭐⭐👍👍🇮🇳🇮🇳

not food

Great place to have authentic Karnataka food. Everything on their menu is a must-have.

The quality has gone down drastically ,since they opened

Amazing South Indian Food. Try different dosas here and not the standard ones and you would notice the difference

Nothing great..tried 3 different dosas..not good at all

Excellent Food with good quality ingredients

Good food

Authentic south indian food, but sambar was not upto mark.

if u have been to juggernaut in Kailash colony, you will realise how pathetic and unhygienic Carnatic cafe is

Best south indian food on delhi

Authentic taste with wonderful experience of dining and quick service

Good

Nice...

Live their dosas

Food not upto the mark for the prices charged

All time favourite place

Definitely have the Malleswaram dosa!

Great as always! Lagging a bit behind with their covid practices though. Which is sad and will not visit again due to that only. Please improve them!

Dosa & chutneys were good but sambhar didn't have any vegetables. Service was also very slow that too when only 3 tables were occupied

Nice buzzing place with great dosas & filter coffee

Great place, great food.

Very good food and ambiance

Food was decent.

Excellent variety!!! Thatte Idli is too good 👌👌

Clean and tasty food.

Its an amazing place to have a wonderful south Indian food. This place changed my opinion for south indian food completely. Great taste, value for money, family restaurant to take your loved ones.

Different south indian prepration, too much ghee/oil used, heavy food. Good filter coffe though.

The best karnataka food in Delhi. Would highly recommend the rice idli and wada. Majjige is class👌. Akki roti reminds me of home. Overall, amazing food.

A delight for South Indian food lovers. Absolutely wonderful food

Carnatic cafe has opened its branch in Max tower Sector 15 A Noida. It serves great food with great ambience. I really loved the food here, i had masala dosa, and tritpur soda. I loved it so much that i took my family members also. If you are looking for authentic vegetarian south indian dishes look no further than Carnatic cafe.

They have a good variety of South Indian food. Service is quick.

Safety, peace, camera.,benches grassy lawns and alot of flowers. Full of trees

A nice place with a limited menu and quality food. Authentic flavours

Idli is good but dosa is a little heavy to eat. Exta ghee.

How these people Cheat. After GST , no any other tax is applicable on the bill. Some foolish Restaurant add Service tax of 10% while already you ahve killing rate of Rs 155/- for vada paw, 3 times more than usual.Nobody objects as we know this is mentioned in the menu....for Badly made sambar served with vada. High time to stop this Cheating.

We were regular at their Lodhi road outlet, which had professional staff on the floor (both in service and production). However, after visiting their GK2 outlet today at 9:15pm, the first experience we had with the service team was pathetic in terms of cold behaviour while taking the order. Next - a staff of their's had occupied the toilet for nearly 20 mins (my mother wanted to use the washroom and she couldn't). We were looking forward for the food which would have overlooked all the minuses, but surprisingly the quality and taste of the food at this outlet is no where near to being the way it is in their other outlet. All in all a very lousy experience.

Good south Indian food, different from Sagar Ratna. Must try.

One of the best south indian restaurant in delhi. Worth visiting

A great place for a good comforting South Indian meal. Off late, I prefer to go here instead of Sagar Ratna because of the taste and quality. Probably the best South Indian restaurant in Delhi . All of their dishes are recommended.

Great food, great place and perfect location. Full marks👍

Ordered with good expectation but was very disappointed. Vada was full of soda and hardly any batter. Taste was average.

Food was delicious. We were thrilled after eating puddu and akki roti. Ambience and seats could b better.

Authentic food touches your heart and goes easy on your pocket. Must try

I must say, the best the best the best dosa in Delhi you can eat here. Very authentic. When I ate, i couldn’t resist and came after one hour and ate again. Located in Greater Kailash 2 and also has a chain in noida . I had eaten bombat dosa. Also very good filter coffee. Little costly, but in Delhi all South Indian food are quite costly.

The ambience is very good. Food is so delicious. Finger licking.....

For a couple of decades, whenever I've visited Delhi, I've always believed that the city missed the mark when it came to South Indian food. Hence, I went to Carnatic Café with some level of trepidation which was warranted. I am very happy to report that Carnatic Café has finally brought the level of South Indian dishes up to a level where even the most fussy diners will be taken care of. Their range of dosas and idli's on the menu is fabulous. Every dish I had, including my favourite and easy to get wrong - Ragi dosa was amazing. They serve ice-cream with uncanny flavours like pepper and cardamon which are worth trying out too. I know where I will go to for my South Indian meals from now in Delhi. Highly highly recommended.

Food was pretty average! Sambhar was bland and average in taste! Service was really slow,we asked for chutney and no one came to serve. No water was served on the table I don’t think so this place is worth the hype

Extremely slow slow service on a sunday. Super oily dosas. Go here for their idli only but definitely not for dosas. They are extremely oily, dipped in ghee or butter..

Undoubtedly the finest South Indian eatery in Delhi. The flavors are delightful, and the prices are exceptionally reasonable. The ambiance is pleasantly relaxed, making it a perfect spot for families.

Loved their Malleshwaram and Bombat Dosa. Their dosas are different from the regular dosa we have so expect a little different taste. Loved their chutneys. Dosas range between 200-300. Bombat and Malleshwaram are heavy and one dosa can definitely fulfill your stomach.

I went here for lunch with my family. My dad ordered their thali whose name I don't remember but he loved it. He said the flavours were good and savory. I loved the rava kesari. My mom ordered onion rava masala dosa which was so nice that I couldn't get a chance to click a photo. She loved it too I ordered their special Malleshvaram dosa. It turned out as expected. Crisp on the outside and soft from the inside. It was dripping in white butter (which I love.) The only problem was the gun powder chutney. Altho it was very tasty, there was a lot inside the dosa. I would recommend the restaurant to reduce its quantity as 1/3rd of it I had to throw. Otherwise the dosa was superb. To top off we had ordered Buttermilk which was very refreshing.

One of the best dosas in the town. Very good in taste. Good hygiene and clean ambiance. But the service is very poor, you have to wait too long to call anyone on table because they don’t even look and just ignore sometimes. This is very bad thing for any place. Otherwise food and everything is really great. Thampu soda highly recommended.
