If you just go by the interiors and infrastructure and rate the restaurant then that won't be fair. This small restaurant located at bhawanipore, is great under quick bites . Famous for it's South Indian food , it really has no comparison on the quality of the food that they serve. Very much authentic and hygienic. The place is well known for takeaways and every dish is more than four stars. The chutney and sambhar , what they serve is extra ordinary. And the idlis are big and too soft at the same time. Pocket friendly and one of the best places for a South Indian foodie.

Anuradha Café is a tiny café serving south Indian food.The menu has items which are ordered regularly from idlis to Dosas etc.I had masala dosa which was tasty and large in size.I would like to mention especially for their coconut chutney which was thick and lipsmacking.The place is small and can accommodate max 2-3 persons at one time.Prices are reasonable

P.S. – I felt like as it it’s a office cum cafĂ©.One has to stand and eat.

A tiny restaurant beside the induction, near the children's Park in Bhawanipur. This place is specialized in their South Indian food. I had ordered a masala cheese dosa and a plate of idli. Never had such an amazing dosa. Idli was soft too. The coconut chutney is the cherry on the cake. Very pocket friendly. Do not expect good ambience from it. A must visit for the South Indian lovers!

Do not expect an ambience for this tiny restaurant. They are experts when it comes to South Indian food. Class apart. I have never had such soft and delicious Idly ever.Be it Dosa or uttapam everything is just so good. Have eaten in this joint several times and would keep going here .

This place may not look like its a hidden gem in bhawanipore. But it is a very well known resto or a outlet for south indian dishes. Dosas they make are a foodie's delight and deserve clap for maitaining the standard of its dishes. I love cheese masala dosa and idlis here. The coconut chutney they make us the best i had at kolkata. But the problem with this place is that it stays closed most of the time, reasons unknown. And also the rush is so much here. But overall a nice joint for refreshmnt.

I had an amazing South Indian breakfast here this morning. This one has been an all time favourite place for takeaway but I remember not using the seating because of limited capacity they have.

We used the car service today and it was a really nice and steamy hot breakfast in this beautiful rainy morning.

Coming to USP of this place, it has to be the idlis. They serve massive sized ones, fluffy soft and just perfect. I think their idli is the biggest in Kolkata keeping in mind most other eateries. For me personally finishing a full plate as in two pieces became quite a task towards the end.

The coconut chutney served is really nice and thick. It is topped with urad dal, mustard seeds and curry leaves which have been tempered in oil with a hint of red chilli powder.

The sambhar was not as good today as it usually is. I love the sambhar from
here. Today something was slightly amiss though.

The vadas here are good too. Today I had no space left for them after the idlis though.
I am a fan of their Masala dosas , specially the Masala. The dosa size is just perfect. And they make it perfectly as per instructions.

The idlis here are must try. This place has a huge fan following and regular customers so food here runs out of stock very fast.

The prices are totally pocket friendly. The staff is pleasant and attentive. They keep filling up the chutney and sambhar bowls.

The menu is quite limited in terms of variety but in terms of taste this place ranks amongst my top 5 south Indian favourites in Kolkata.

A very small place near Chakraberia. It serves excellent South Indian food. It is not hi-fi, swanky place but a very simple and small joint. Their butter masala dosa and idli are really great.

Very good Idlis they make, but you can't enjoy it if u have it there, as its not a restaurant kind of a place. It's best if u take it away and enjoy it at home. Their Chutney is really good.

Went out for lunch with my office colleagues at this place. Seeing the place i did not feel good, but as soon as the Dosa arrived, the aroma mesmerized me. We ordered a Cheese Dosa and Idli. They were amazing. Not pricey enough. Great place for people having a taste for Southy food.

Their larger-than-your-face idlis are really good and soft. Fresh produce, with an occasional miss, dosa's are their specialty. Weekends is usually a rush affair, whether its dine-in or take away. Overall recommended.

Location: In the lane opposite Food Kraft; Near Sharma Sweet/Goli Vada Pav; In the lane where Sri Sri Laxmi Narayan Maternity Home & Hospital is located.

Have been procrastinating on penning down this review due to work pressure; was visited on April 4, 2015 around 18:00 hours.
The much awaited Anuradha Cafe was finally and successfully visited in the evening after several failed attempts (always visited it during the afternoon but, is closed from 14:00-17:00 hours daily: as informed by the staff) along with a friend.
It's a small 20 year old eatery (sister concern of Deeya Baati) serving tasty South Indian fare. The seating arrangements were high stools to the wall-side tables along with a couple of low ones for the aged.
The laminated menu has a decent fare-spread of which the following was ordered:

- Masala Dosa
The Dosa was big in size and definitely one would be enough for a medium sized appetite. The masala was flavorful and well-seasoned.
Recommended.

- Butter Masala Fry Dosa
Same in size as the Masala dosa, just that the masala was butter-fried and served as a side to a Plain Dosa. The fry was decent to taste as it needed a slightly higher seasoning.

‱ The Coconut chutney was delicious and the chaunk on top added as a plus.
‱ The Sambhar was just about decent, was slightly of a watery consistency. Could be taken care of.

The staff was polite and friendly who served at a moderate speed.
The prices are pretty reasonable considering the quantity/size of the offering.

Overall a decent experience.

Its the best preferably south Indian food place for Bhawanipur residing people.. This old place no matter how pathetic the walls or seating maybe is the all time favourite for morning breakfast! Though the home delivery is sometimes not available but when its available you get it right on time with the food still hot.. ❀ If you really don't care about the place environment and prefer to be satisfied by the delicious south Indian food then you should 100% try this place :D And trust me you'll never regret it ;)

The place is located near bhawanipur college and chakraberia crossing... Ask anyone about anuradha and they will guide you...   Its a small eatery with couple of stools and a small space to keep your plates but the food here makes up for it.  The idlis they serve here are big served hot and delicious. Their chutney is also pure and thick. Sambhar is really tasty. Their dosa is not as good as their Uthapam since i didnt like their dosa so much compared to Uthapam...  If you are going on sunday, no dine in is available only take away... Also, no home delivery service by them... 
Food is at quiet reasonable.. Haven't tried their take away service...,

This South Indian food joint is located near my office and visiting this place during lunch time was a regular thing for many of us. It's a very small place but the staffs are friendly and well behaved. However, the sitting arrangement is quite uncomfortable as all you have here is those old bar stools to seat on. Most of the time this place remains closed which I can't figure out why. Maybe they don't need to make profits.

Okay, Now comes the best part and it's of course the food they serve. I had no idea that South Indian food can taste so great (I've had them at plenty of places and most of them were pretty average). Personally I love the Cheese Masala Dosa and Mix Uttapam they make here. If you don't mind having onion, then you should try the Onion Uttapam too. They cover up their negative sides with the food they offer.

I had not set foot in this tiny outlet on Justice Chandra Madhab Rd (near the Ray St corner) for quite some time as I would always find it closed. Finally found it open today when a colleague and I walked in during lunchtime.

The place is tiny, with uncomfortable seating and none too clean. But they make up for it by their food. We started with a plate of idlis. Two very large ones (over 5 inches dia) with nice sambhar and a good chutney. The idlis were hot and really soft. We also asked for dosa... these came in a little later. Very large (I found it a tad too much) with the potato on the side (they had fried it separately) I had asked for a butter dosa, but not sure if it make a difference. Nicely made though. Two masala dosas (one with butter) and a plate of idlis set us back by about Rs 165.

I wanted vadas but was advised against it by the person at the store as they were not hot.

Please give it a try.

Anuradha Cafe in Bhowanipur is a hidden gem for dosa lovers! The dosas here are absolutely delightful — perfectly crispy on the outside and wonderfully flavorful on the inside. If you're a dosa enthusiast, this place is a must-visit!

The service here is top notch . We were never required to ask for Sambaar and chutney refill , the waiters kept refilling time to time. We ordered one idli (Rs.80 for a plate), and Masala dosa (Rs.90) . The idlis were very fresh and soft and I loved the taste. The dosa was crisp as requested by me however the Masala was a little bland for my palette. Feel free to request for Jain Sambaar (Without onion and garlic) This is a small Non AC resturant so I would recommend take away or delivery if ambience and comfort is your priority. The pricing is slightly on the higher side but the quality and service justifies it to some extent. However the likes of Jyoti Vihar-Ramakrishna fit all the bills. This establishment owned by the same group which owns deeya Baati as well.

Love for South Indian Food. Best place in Landsdowne area for Dosa and Idli. Vada is also good. But this place is my favourite and delicious Mysore dosa in Kolkata. Very limited seating. Only Take away on Sunday. Varieties of dosa and uttapam available. Must Try Butter Masala Dosa. Sambhar is very tasty here. Varieties of Chutney available.

This place in Chakraberia Road North would go unnoticed to most as it's very basic eatery with no decoration. Love the paper masala dosa which very crispy with lovely subtle spiced potato masala stuffing. Best thing about this dosa is it has seasonal vegetables in the masala stuffing which makes it different and delicious. The sambhar has a distinct authentic south Indian taste same goes for white chutney. They give good amount of chutney and sambhar more than a person can eat. Do visit this hidden place if you love veg south india food.

Very tasty South Indian food is served here. The menu is limited to South Indian items only. This place is very old and people love it. They do not have Swiggy or Zomato for delivery though. You can park your car outside on the road and have a good breakfast here. Prices are reasonable too. No AC just in case you’re searching for some more information.
