    This place serves amazing food. It is not a fine dining place, its a regular restaurant and don't go here for the ambience. They are famous for their dosa but when we went there it was not available so we have idli/vada sambhar which was also super Amazing. Their kulfi falooda is also very good. They have noodles also whovh were good. The service was very prompt and the food is cheap.

    Worst experience. I would like to give ZERO rating. Never go to this restaurant. Cafe k naam pe dhabba h aur south indian food to kisi layak nh tha. Saambhar me chole ka masala mila k banaya tha. Even road side stalls are far better than this.

    Not worth the hype. Have visited this cafe thrice and it was a big disappointment for two of those times. The latest I visited was a Sunday late evening. It was very busy at that time and it took 15 mins for us to get a seat which is fine. We order 3 Masala Dosa and one Rava dosa. The waiter took order and was unavailable for next 15 mins. He brought rava dosa first and that dosa was raw. We tried to eat it but couldn't so we complaint about it to waiter and he accepted the mistake immediately as he knew that dosa was raw and took dosa back. Than after 10 mins our masala Dosas came and to our surprise those 3 were also a bit raw. Because there was huge rush in the restaurant and in a hurry of making orders available the chef was making this mistake.. that's what I understood from repeating the mistake. We didn't complaint and ate our food quitely. In between my mom ordered the dahi bada as it's famous dish of cafe. The curd used in dahi bada was also a bit sour so we left it on table. I am giving 2 🌟 for food 3 🌟 for service 3 🌟 for staff

    Enjoy the taste of south indian food. The menu was different type dosa ,idli vada and uttapam.. service is very fast . Food is served quick and hot, and their dosas, medu vadas, idlis, uttapams are delicious. Their Dahi vadas are their speciality. We tried there longest dosa which was good to see and also in taste. Try their Chinese noodles and rice which arew good too, but they are specialists in South Indian foods.

    Not at all authentic South India food. Never recommend anyone. Everything is spicy and do not have South Indian flavour. We have ordered - masala dosa, paneer masala dosa, Kerala parota with veg curry and Vada sambar. It is avarage taste you have many other tasty options available. hygiene was not maintained - plates were not clear and were still wet while food was served. Infact cutlery was beneath food while it was supposed to be next to it.

    South Indian restaurent owned and managed by south indian people at IIT gate in Kanpur. All south indian items in typical Kerala taste, with filter coffee and ice creams etc. Good place, specially if you love South Indian dishes, sitting area comfortable and rate wise reasonable

    I like filter coffee. I did order masala dosa. It tastes better as compared to other Street Dosas. Do try coffee and medu Vada as well. Staff is approachable and polite. Hygienic. COVID guidelines followed. Delivery is fast.

    Third class experience no one will assist you for parking your vehicle, foolish staff, haphazard service no sequence in table service, five cafe staff watching your table so that they can let it ready for incoming rush again. My last two three experiences all were same, now I will avoid this place for sure.

    Today, when i visited, they initially denied to turn On the AC when i requested 2 to 3 times, then they switched on the AC, and then they refused to serve extra bhaji as per the staff it will charge extra INR 70 and honestly the taste was not as per the price very over priced MENU only visit when no any other options are left......

  • 3/5 Rishabh G. 2 years ago on Google
    The joint is owned by a family from Tamil Nadu it seems. I ordered Sambhar Idli Vada, Idli and Vadha were great, Sambhar was good , it had lot of pumpkin though which wasn't much interesting and coconut chutney was okay , not authentic one.

  • 4/5 aman k. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Arpit P. 2 years ago on Google
    Kerela cafe is a South Indian Restaurant near IIT Kanpur. Restaurant serves variety of Dosa, Uttapam, Idli and Vada. I tried their Masala Dosa and Sambhar Vada both were average in taste. They also have variety in icecreams. They have the options to buy sambhar mixes also.

    Best south indian food taste .. even at kanpur :)

  • 4/5 RAMESH M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food, reasonable prices. Guess the owners need to rethink about installing a couple of new Air-conditioners since the old ones aren't able to handle the load. Well located though outside IITK

    One of the best South Indian food restraunt... Only one problem that is the parking issue.. The cafe is on busy GT Road bt there is only little space for parking

  • 3/5 Vishal V. 9 months ago on Google
    Just an overrated place. Not worth the hype 😞. You can get better dosas on some other street carts. I personally didn't liked it. There was no difference between Masala Dosa & Butter Paneer Masala Dosa. Both tasted same. Sambar was so runny. Condiments also didn't look fresh. Very Disappointing 😞

    Its one of the near to Authentic place, where you can get South Indian food. This is the first place where I had to pay extra for serving Sambhar for 2nd time. That's why 3 stars. The Dahi bada is famous, one must try it...

  • 5/5 Shubham P. 3 years ago on Google
    The place is great. If you love south Indian food, definitely the place to go.

  • 5/5 Ankit T. 3 years ago on Google
    Dosa is fabulous... One of the best restaurant in knp for mouth watering south Indian dishes...

  • 3/5 P K. 3 years ago on Google
    They don't have all the items mentioned in their menu. Considering the fact that the restaurant is run by a south indian owner, we would like to have proper south indian taste of the coconut chutney. I would also like to taste the paronta-corma. Buy this restaurant doesn't care about their traditions.

  • 5/5 Uday S. 3 years ago on Google
    That place is really awesome. I loved it best place to go with friends and family. I have ordered 3 ft long masala dosa it's really amazing it's sufficient for 2 people very easily..

  • 2/5 Manish B. 3 years ago on Google
    A gem which has lost its touch. Dosa: unfortunately it doesn't have the taste it use to have. Vada: nice, tasty and big. Sambhar: all the free salt in the world is there in it. White chutney: yes, not coconut chutney, because there's no coconut in it. Service: it's nice and ridiculously fast, plus they will promptly ask for refills.

  • 5/5 Little thing About my l. 3 years ago on Google
    Well this is one of my favorite places to go when it comes to eating south indian food and filter coffee. This place is such authentic with the kind of food and. Service they provide it's just simply amazing. Just the right go to place in Kanpur to eat south indian food. It operates till 10 in the night so make sure to plan your visit here accordingly. I am sure this won't be a disappotment rather a deliciously wow experience and if you do like it don't forget to mention.
