    The crispiest vada I had till date. The cafe does have its limitations though. Congested place. They renovated their entrance a couple of days back and it looks refreshing. Seating is limited. Still their vada is crispy.. Recommended

    A quick joint to have breakfast like Idli, vada, masala dosa, appam etc alonh with tea, coffee. It is quite close to Cherthala TD temple and this is regular spot for quick breakfast. They serve real fast as well. There is always rush for parcel as well.

    A small, family-run restaurant that has been serving up some of the best vada with chutney in Cherthala for over 20 years. The vadas are made with fresh urad dal and are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chutneys are also made fresh daily and are the perfect accompaniment to the vadas. In addition to vadas, Padma Cafe also serves a variety of other South Indian dishes, such as masala dosa, idli, and sambar. The food is all cooked to perfection and the service is friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a delicious and affordable meal in Cherthala, I highly recommend Padma Cafe. The vadas with chutney are a must-try!

    It is a wonderful experience. Excellent quality, hygienic and good customer care. Thanks to NSS karayogam for this initiative. Expecting more padma cafes across kerala. Also please add the cafe in a popular food delivery apps, so that more people can order and enjoy the food.

    Possibly the best shop to go for if you like Vada. This shop has been around for years and have only seen it following increase. Modest seating, good service with quality and quantity of portion of the food served seems to be the USP here. Ideally located in the heart of Cherthala with ample parking available nearby.

    Masala dosa was fine. Vada is yummy and crispy. The rate of the food is comparatively high compared to others. Service is not satisfied.

    A great place to have vegetarian food when in Alappuzha. Loved the masala dosa, Vada and Payam Pori. The price was also pocket friendly. The service was awesome and too friendly. The seating capacity was around 12. Loved the cafe and would definitely visit the place again when I am back in Cherthala.

  • 2/5 Sandeep S. 2 years ago on Google
    Most of them r going here for the authentic food but not as exaggerated as some reviewers stated here. Uzhunnuvada is ok just as it's price is higher comapring to other near restaurants and the quantity of masala dosa is less , chutney is watery but sambar is yummy.

  • 4/5 10.00 a. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the small but must try foods. Uzhunnu vada is the top item to try. Other items are also tasty. Finish the food with coffee or tea. You never will be disappointed. But.. what ever you do, do not wash the mouth after eating with their wash area's water. That is water from bore well, it will kill the experience.

  • 5/5 arun k. 2 years ago on Google
    The best Veg restaurant in town! Been a regular customer since years.. Uzhunnu Vada is the most famous and hot selling item here, but my personal fav is pazham pori (banana fry) - chutney - onion combo and tea. The place is usually busy with limited seating, but the wait will be worth it. Being located along the busiest road in town, parking is really difficult to almost impossible for four wheelers if u're dining in. It's really a task to get in and grab a seat, during peak times.

  • 1/5 Shelna S. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    For the service, wrong items were parcelled by the take-away service. Instead of coffee we were given a flask filled with jeeraka vellam and paid 40 rupees. This is the reason why they are not providing the right contact number. Waste of money and a loss of time. Very unsatisfied with the staff and service here.
