    Centrally located decent place to stay in Vijayawada. Stayed for a night in this hotel. Rooms are just ok and needs repair on an urgent basis. The TV in the room is of old model. Toilets were clean. Room rates are not costly . Did not eat in restaurant of this hotel so cannot comment on it . If your travelling solo then this hotel can be booked for staying but for families i think it's not suitable. For travel/food pictures and information plz follow my insta account.

    Actually it is just awesome bef carona but no such type of things are looking over there. Costs are very heavy and quality is very poor. It's complete disaster I just never expected this type of food from them

    It's a very good hotel in the besant road market area. Good food at reasonable prices and the restaurant is neat and clean.

    Used to go along with my grandfather back in the old days.. it was really good. Today visited with the same impression but the experience is horrible. Rice quality is worst, road side carts are far better in terms of taste and quality. Playing cheap tricks to save money.. not giving enough Rice, not giving ice cream, not giving banana, switching of the air condtion. And directly instructing the servers, not to respond on time. A very bitter experience, not sure why he got 4 rating. May be some paid promotion. And the person at the counter is not really bothered what is happening inside the kitchen or at the tables. His job is just count the bills and giving wrong directions to the staff. Earning money I would say looting money from hungry people is not a good business, in a country like India Food is a kind of God and the person who servers and is treated as Annadata .. though they take money. Hope you understand the kind of experience we faced in this so called MODERN CAFE.. few things we can not express in words. Share your experiences if you have any.. hope that will be a positive one. Today's my bitter experience ruined one of childhood memories OF BESANT ROAD shopping.

  • 5/5 Sharath C. 1 year ago on Google
    It was really a life saver as we were struggling to find a veg restaurant in that area and all we could find was one where only unlimited meals were available. Felt very happy when we found this place and the food was tasty.

  • 2/5 seshatalpasai s. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered special meals through swiggy, very bad taste, no papad, no sweet, hot water like sambar, curry with bad smell, we can not expect this food from modern cafe

  • 4/5 Sudhakarg G. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Sushma S. 11 months ago on Google
    Food is excellent as usual.. prices are very cheap and reasonable. But the ambiance and location are very bad

  • 5/5 Raj B. 10 months ago on Google
    Lovely food. Quick service keeping up the pace with the bustling market around the restaurant. Loved the idli, chutneys. Tempted to have the amazing looking pooris. But settled for Onion Uthappam

  • 1/5 Raw We W. 2 years ago on Google
    Could be better. I expected something like kamat,Bangalore. It is not upto that range. It's on a downward spiral. Nothing special and poor service.

    Tasty food. Parking problem especially for 4 wheelers.

  • 1/5 Girish I. 2 years ago on Google
    Yesterday gave 4🌟 for its Food. Today I am giving 1 (which not worth ) for its service and the behaviour of the staff. Kept waiting 45 mts for Coffee ultimately not served. Useless place to visit. Not only me the people who were sitting all felt the same.

    The Samosa chat and Paneer paav baji is of super taste.Try it once in the evening you will enjoy it

  • 2/5 Sri Ramachandra Murthy P. 9 months ago on Google
    Very limited options in the evening times after 08.30 PM. They served rotten chutney with tiffins.

  • 3/5 balasubrahmanian s. 7 months ago on Google
    When we entered, we felt the cashier was somewhat unwelcoming when we asked for some doubts. This may have been because he was already attending to someone. The place has got a charm, no doubt and a vintage feel to it. The dosai was excellent though the chutney and sambar were just so-so. Chutney too bland and sambar too watery. Poori potato was bang on. So food is good but not great. The waiter was smiling and very cordial though.

  • 5/5 Kiran K. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good place for South Indian tiffin, very tasty, the same old taste even better after 18 years.

    Very homely and comfortable place. Excellent food and very friendly staff. Location is besant road - cannot ask for any better location.

  • 5/5 Arvind S. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent food at reasonable price. This is a pure veg restaurant, famous since long in the central business district of Vijayawada. Known for their great taste and hygienic preparation, this eatery is a hit with the locals and visitors

  • 5/5 ಆಂಜನೇಯುಲು 1979 BE ಪಿಇಎಸ್ ಇಂಜಿನಿಯರಿಂಗ್‌ ಕಾಲೇಜು ಮಂಡ್ಯ, I. 2 years ago on Google
    1) First time visted Modern cafe 40 years back for Vegetarian Lunch. Quality was Excellent at that time. Subsequently visited many times for morning and evening snacks . Same Quality is maintained now also. Again visited on evening of 18-12-2021. 2) Ordered Tea with out Sugar. 3) Quality of Tea is Excellent. 4) On can get 100% Vegetarian food here. 5) Value for Money. 6) One can get South Indian Lunch and Dinner here. Price of Lunch OR Dinner is reasonable and comparable with similar hotels near by. 7) Strongly recommend Modern cafe for pure Vegetarian lovers.

  • 2/5 Anvitha R. 2 years ago on Google
    Taste okay prices little bit high but hygene was very poor. Earlier they served in stainless-steel plates and bowls. Now they have replaced with non food grade poor quality melamine plastic ware for serving items which is not acceptable. That they were not properly cleaned. Try to convert again traditional stainless-steel plates and bowls with hygene.

  • 3/5 Cars o. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Anjaneyulu K S R. 2 years ago on Google
    Very old restaurant remodeled a few years back. Quality improvement is not considerable. Maintains some standard.

  • 2/5 parvathi p. 2 years ago on Google
    Dosa and puri was good. Otherwise vada was half cooked. Sambar taste was not good. I don't recommend this place for breakfast

  • 1/5 ijn a. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered tiffin and fried rice with veg kadai. Chutney salty, veg kadai curry full of onions only.. not up to the mark in taste. Average.

  • 4/5 Kalai K. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice hotel.. Good taste. Quantity also very acceptable

  • 4/5 Malyadri P. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a pretty old cafe in Vijayawada and serves good food. The cafe has non-AC and AC sections. Though a bit old, the maintenance of the cafe is pretty decent. They serve a variety of cuisines, ranging from south Indian to north Indian to Chinese. The food is good and the service is excellent. The waiters are polite and friendly. Overall value for money stuff. If you're near the central shopping area of Vijayawada and feel like having a quick bite or hearty meal, this is a good place for you!!

  • 5/5 Bharadwaj S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Vegetarian restaurant in Besant Road, whenever our family goes to shop there, we make it a norm to eat here. The taste is first class, but you'll have to compromise on the quality of the restaurant a little bit, it isn't dirty, but has an old feel to it. But for the taste, you can compromise.

  • 5/5 Kiran P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very old cafe and same old taste. If you eat here once, you don't like anywhere else. Only vegetarian restaurant. Service was also good. AC dining area available. Popular for its coffee.

  • 3/5 Aravind A. 1 year ago on Google
    I know this place right from my Childhood days. I used to have food here on our frequent trips to Vijayawada with my parents. Now Food quality is good but taste has changed from the past.

  • 4/5 teluri s. 1 year ago on Google
    Modern cafe is a nice restaurant. Tiffins meals are available. It consists of both Ac and Non Ac to dine in breakfast and lunch Dinner. It also serves Ice cream and juices. Tea and coffe are good. In breakfast Idli Dosa Poori are delicious which are served with sambar, ginger chutney, coconut chutney. Poori is served with aloo poori curry on banana leaf. Paneer dosa is cost effective but delicious.

  • 1/5 Manoj V. 1 year ago on Google
    Quality of food is literally worst.. 5 star hotel prices and providing food like a road side degraded one

  • 3/5 Felix J. 1 year ago on Google
    Need to improve in cleanliness and hygiene. Place is dull. Not many food options. Service could be better.

  • 3/5 Shafi A. 1 year ago on Google
    A decent hotel in this area. Huge place with retro flooring, with an open live kitchen. The food was served at the table. I took a poori expecting a proper poori curry. However they gave the same curry made with aloo that they put in masala dosa which i was not at all expecting that too in Vijayawada which is famous for their food. The placement of wash basins and it's maintenance was not good. The whole dining experience is ruined once you go there to wash your hands. I had to cross a puddle of water and then the stinking smell at the wash basins. If they can fix, make some changes to that area then yes it would give more good experience to people like me.

    The South Indian Tiffins are Great and I love them personally but the North Indian items weren't made that perfectly as South ones and the prices of the items are not bank to buck

👍 There isn't much left to say about Paradise Biryani, as it is known world over. The main problem for them is to maintain the taste, quality, quantity and consistency across all their outlets. I felt this particular restaurant too stands up to the mark.
