    I was a fan of this place but my last experience was way below my expectations. Pune misal prices have been increased and taste has not the same as before. Plus the service wasn't very pleasing.

    Excellent place to sit and have snacks. Canara coffee house is a generation old, it was built in 1950s. Now they occupied new building. The food tastes more or less same. The service is terrific and lighting fast. The sitting area and interior are well designed.

    Canara coffee house, this was the first place i ever had food in Vadodara when i was on a business trip. I was late and was already looking for a pure vegetarian restaurent to have something as i got late in lunch and was really hungry ..... Gladly found this place and was really happy to have food here. The quality and taste of food is superb, service too was very satisfying. Rates are economical. 4 star because of their seating area on 1st floor it becomes difficult for senior citizens to go up and for parking which is a big problem, specially in evening. Rest is awesome and this place is highly recommended.

    Canara coffee house is classic and one of the oldest cafes in town. If you are craving for delicious and authentic south Indian food at pocket friendly prices, this is the place to visit. Their sharbats are a must have whenever you visit this place. This place is a good choice for breakfast as they serve quality tea and filter coffee. The waiters serve efficiently and the wait time is very less.

    My father introduced me this cafe years ago when we used to come for shopping in city. And today I tried one of my favorite dish at this cafe after around five years and I found the same test. Thank you Canara Cafe for being here for long time. Will surely cone back again for the same dish and other more as well.

    One of the oldest south-indian cafes in the town. Previously, they were based near Sursagar & Fire Station. They are mainly known for their famous puna-misal dish. But, they have large varieties of dosas and uttapam available. Their new location started near Akota /Dandia Bazaar bridge is quite spacious and has downstairs (waiting area) and upstairs (for dine-in seating). Now, they even serve pav bhaji and other Indian cuisine alongside dahi wada, dosas, utappams and much more. Do give it a try, I am pretty sure you will like the taste of uttapams, dosas, dahi wada and puna misal; rest I haven't got a chance to taste. For puna misal, they say that it doesn't taste good after they moved to their new location. But, one can only confirm once they try it by themselves. I am not sure as I haven't ordered the puna misal yet at the new site.

    It was definitely a hype for me , so I had to go . Place was packed with customers on the first floor but lucky me I got place as soon I reached . A local guy who soon became a friend of mine recommend that I try Poona misal so I got that . It was good along with that I tried Bataka Vada which is nothing but Batata Vada as in mashed potatoes in a crispy batter it was nice not oily Also I tried both the mango and pineapple sharbat and I was not disappointed . It was nice and refreshing drink Lot of other things could have been tasted ! Next time for sure ! If you are around do try ! No regrets for sure 😌

  • 4/5 Anil K. 1 year ago on Google
    Miss those canara days of dandia bazar and the uncle who use to take order and ambience. Those can of juice and old menu board lightwala. But still taste is good.

  • 3/5 Rishabh P. 1 year ago on Google
    The pulav is nice, Vada ildi mix is spicy. It's a clean and hygienic place to have an early breakfast in this area. But the waiter keeps forgetting the order and and it takes nearly 20 minutes to get upma which is usually already made.

  • 5/5 Parag S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's an nice, small, clean, authentic South Indian restaurant in Vadodara with a friendly staff and tasty as well as hygienic food. I loved it.

  • 5/5 Dinesh K. 1 year ago on Google
    Taste was good. Preparations are nice. Dahi vada and canara sandwich were really good. Dosa was ohkay. Sambhar can be better. Their online order can slow down your given orders. But value for money and tasty

  • 1/5 Adit B. 1 year ago on Google
    Just visited the place for breakfast. Ordered Mysore masala dosa. It was bland and plain. And upon enquiring about it, the waiter rudely handed us table salt. Will someone please explain how to add salt to an already cooked dosa to add more flavour. Was not satisfied with the customer service. Will not visit the place again.

  • 1/5 Rituraj P. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is still Good.. But Green Peas Pulav Dish needs to Improve alot. Secondly One Order taking person is so poor in his work. Dear Owner, Kindly look into the dining hall at least One person has to be available for such order taking. No one is available in dining at Evening hours.

  • 1/5 KAUSHAL P. 4 months ago on Google
    The food quality and taste is disgusting. They have ruined the old reputation and ethnicity of the cafe . Had the worst experience today , bad tasting food and the service wasn’t proper either

  • 3/5 SAYANI S. 6 months ago on Google
    One of the oldest cafés in Vadodara…My husband used to come in his college days…Yesterday we went there…Ordered- masala dosa and puna misal…I didn’t like coconut chutney…Dosa was okay type…First time I had puna misal even I didn’t have any idea of it…It was good…But my husband said that all old staffs were changed so taste of food deteriorated…Simple decoration…Small sitting area…Service was good…Easy location…Best part is very pocket friendly…

  • 5/5 Vyomika J. 4 months ago on Google
    This is the oldest cafe/ coffee house which started in 1950s . It has the same authentic dosa and lovely filter coffee... It's signature poonamisal is yummy. They still have the same furniture which gives you a nostalgic feeling.

  • 5/5 Vishal S. 4 months ago on Google
    Old and well known place in Vadodara for quick bite.

  • 3/5 Hritvik S. 2 years ago on Google
    Coffee is available only in morning. Rest of the menu is satisfactory at best. The only thing worth trying is the Poona-misal.

  • 3/5 Dhaval P. 1 year ago on Google
    Puna Misal was okay. Mung beans used were not even sprouted. Nothing to boast about. Idli sambar and dosa were good. Dahi wada were average. Cleanliness was not so good. Especially in the corner sitting. Gurudev's South Indian is the best taste IMO

  • 1/5 mahernoz d. 1 year ago on Google
    I heard a lot about puna misal but it wasn't that good as the hype. In fact it was so terrible that we decided to put it away and order something else. Don't go for the hype. Masada Dosa and idli were good but better is gurudev(for idli) and gurukrupa(for dosas). This place has a toilet so if it's important for you, you can still go to this place and have a reasonable experience, but please don't expect anything more than that.

  • 5/5 Mahesh K. 1 year ago on Google
    Simply south Indian. You have to be really aware to locate this place. One can easily missed this place but not if you're a south indian food lover. Tried their Mysore masala dosa and Dahi wada both are very tasty. Also incase you want to try something new they serve Puneri Misal as well which is one of my favourite. Only problem is parking space especially in working hours so plan accordingly. Enjoy eating!!!!

  • 3/5 Abhishek Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious south indian food at affordable rate. I would say only try the south indian dishes ,didn't liked the other ones. We had 1) Mysore masala dosa 2) poona missal 3) patties 4) bataka poha 5) tomato omelette ( later realised it was Chila )

  • 2/5 Saloni G. 2 years ago on Google
    Very conjusted place. The food taste and hygiene is really bad. Consider some other options outside the sayaji park for better south Indian dishes.

  • 3/5 Shirley D. 2 years ago on Google
    Good south Indian dishes served here. The dining is on first floor. Parking is a bit difficult as its on the main road.

  • 3/5 Yashu 2 years ago on Google
    Good Ambience, but the food is average. Filter coffee is now different than before. Tastes like average other coffee. I tried filter coffee and Idli Sambhar. Idli was very hard and sambhar was average. Overall average experience. They can provide much better to their customers.

  • 1/5 Ami K. 2 years ago on Google
    Placed used to be very nice earlier but now the quality of the food is deteriorated.. there was no taste in any item .. we tried Vada sambhar , idli sambhar , poona misal , batata wada but none of the item tasted good.. Even the place is not maintained we had cockroaches roaming around our table .

  • 5/5 Hemant S. 2 years ago on Google
    Authentic taste of South Indian cuisine!! A very humble and Friendly Owners. A must visit..

  • 2/5 Shibin B. 2 years ago on Google
    The taste of food has degraded than compared to their old servings. Being a Keralite, I was a huge fan of their Mendu Wada and Masala Dosa, but since last 2 times, I am disappointed. Hope the old taste and quality will comeback soon :-) Missing that old taste

  • 1/5 Shashank D. 2 years ago on Google
    Medu Vada bought today was not well fried. Sambar was also substandard.Overall quality was very poor. It was a shock to have had such pathetic experience from otherwise a once famous restaurant.

  • 1/5 Nehal 2 years ago on Google
    Poor taste and misal is not authentic. They serve without pav...🤣 South indian batter is not fresh...people of Baroda either needs to upgrade their taste or canara coffee to improve their dishes...

  • 5/5 Prasanth N. 2 years ago on Google
