During Durga puja, one day we are meant to have veg food, mainly on sasthi.. so we thought of trying some veg dishes and what's better than to have dosas. We tried normal masala dosas nd cheese masala dosa. The masala dosa was good but somehow the cheese masala dosa could have been better. One complain is that with three dosas the amount of sambhar nd chutney supplied were too less. They should look into this matter.
This is our regular venture. Love their vadas. The manager is a very polite person, as a re the other staff. Met the owner the other day. He is a very mild and polite person. It is economic abd parking is available. In fact, you can place order, have food and pay bills sitting in the car. So very comfy.
excellent guys punctual and dedicated to his work
This cafe cum South Indian restaurant is located at Keyatala Road in close proximity to the Vivekananda Park. It is a modest neat and tidy place which can house around 10 people. It serves South Indian delicacies and food quality is decent. We dropped in here a couple of days back on Panchami afternoon after not being able to manage a place in any of the nearby restaurants. The place is properly maintained and the staff were also very polite. Overall a nice place serving South Indian dishes at reasonable prices.
Itâs a delight to visit this place! âđģ
My favourite outlet for South Indian food.
They gained popularity because of the quick service in the car as well as at the outlet by their warm and friendly staff.
The owner also takes the effort to personally meet the client needs which is indeed a beautiful gesture.
Iâm so confused when I enter this place! As I donât know what to order and what not to.
Favourites are :-
âĸ Two in one Idly
âĸ Floating Idly
âĸ Topy Dosa
âĸ Mushroom Cheese pizza
âĸDahi Vada
âĸ Hot/Cold Coffee
These wonderful fusions are a part of Garden Cafeâs DNA.
What stands out immediately here is the menu variety offered, with standout options for idlis, dosa and vadas. The food is yum, innovative and authentic. The chutneys and sambar are true to the south Indian taste and enhance the eating experience. Would also recommend the filter coffee and pizzas, which are a must must try. Do visit the outlet, for exceptional service, mouth-watering, authentic south Indian food at reasonable pricing.
Great place to have south Indian food with friends and family. The uttapam and idli is really nice. Must try their hot coffee. Cheese paper dosa is also nice!
I ordered two butter masala dosas and two idlis....They were fresh, light yet tasty...easy to digest healthy south indian joint...am definitely ordering more from here!
good as per discounted price.
Love the way they send dosa all wrapped in banana leaf.

the place and good service.Basically car parking
Place have very good....
This restaurant is located on a road off Southern Avenue, towards the Golpark end of the road. Like its sister outlet in Alipore, it serves a number of South Indian vegetarian dishes, as well as different types of pizza. I have been here three or four times in the last six months, and have liked the quality of the food, the cleanliness of the place and the swiftness of the service. The prices are also reasonable. I would recommend most of the dosas and uthappams they serve, and a bonus for me is the fact that they are one of the few places in Calcutta that still serve Cotton's ice-cream soda. It serves well as a place for a quick snack or a more filling meal.
Love the range of South Indian Foods that this cafe has. I have eaten in house once or twice but mostly taken away the dishes. I absolutely love the varieties of vada and paper plain dosa. Those are always the first items on my list when i place an order here.
Very tasty family dosa. Very good service. This place is easily reachable from Rabindra sarobar. It is ideal for snacks time. Very less crowded so the serving time is very less.
Good food and quick service. Very much satisfied as a customer. Would recommend others to order from this restaurant. Specially their south indian dishes.
Atleast for me this is the best place for dosas...idlis n uttapams... I would love to visit this place again and again... the decor is simple...but the above said foods r really tasty...
Yesterday I visited the restaurant after visiting nearby pandals.Had dinner with Masala Dosa-overall a moderate experience, good place for south Indian dishes at moderate prices.
Food is good but when ordered through swiggy they took a packaging charge of Rs 44 and then delivered the food wrapped in plane white paper and banana leaf...
My go to Cafe when it calls for sudden office hunger. I love their dosas and Sahi vada. Quick service. Tasty food. Have not yet visited the cafe yet, all orders were delivered.
Have been visiting this place since it first opened,come here mainly for south Indian dishes, you'll get a wide range of dosas, uttapams,shakes,etc.

Garden cafe express located at keyatala road serves authentic south indian food. We ordered hot coffee,cold coffee and onion uttapam and the amount of bill was only 222. So, of course it's a pocket-friendly restaurant. Taste was also good and very hygienic place.

Have been here so many times! Located in Keyatala road near cloakroom, this outlet of garden cafe express is usually not crowded and perfect for a nice quiet snack or dinner. The mushroom cheese Dosa, baby corn Dosa are a must try here. Also the mixed cheese pizza with the old world charm pulls you in. They have an open kitchen so it gets clanky but overall it is always pleasant. There is no ac here but somehow the place is very close to my heart.
Avoid cold coffee here, it isn't the best.
Prices are okay. Overall,.a good place in the area.
Decent place for a Pocket friendly and hygienic South Indian breakfast in Gariahat  . Ordered for Paper Masala dosa and coffee. Did not find any difference in masala dosa and paper masala dosa still the dosa tasted good. Coffee was too strong so did not like it much .

A vegetarian restaurant which serves south Indian food. Dosa was good. The thin crust pizza was yummy. Must try the ice cream soda which is a soda and flavours like ice cream.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Been there about a month back. The place finally has air conditioning which was missing some time back and they make it a point to mention it in the menu that you'll be charged extra for that perk. Coming to the food, the preparation time is really long I must say. I ordered a masala dosa a butter plain dosa and a couple of plates of idli as I wanted to try out the main selling point of the restaurant. Had to wait about 30 mins before I got my order which was really long considering that there were two people preparing this and all they had to prepare other than my food was one more dosa for another customer. Coming to the favor, I must say that is the only thing that resurrected this review from being a negative one. The food is of very good quality and for the price they charge the food is top notch quality. The eating stools are a bit high and can make one uncomfortable but other than that gripe you'll have no other complains. The waiters were courteous enough to come after short intervals to refill some sambar or the coconut chutney and always served with a smile so yes go there for a quick byte and keep some time on your hands other than that it's a great place to satisfy your taste buds
A while ago via Swiggy had ordered fr rawa-masala dosa. M happy with the taste&quality. Only expected some more Sambhar with it. The coconut white chutney bn really yum in taste. &Thankfully it znt over-priced. Might order again in future. Good Luck!
Cute little dhosa joint near keyatala. When every other cafe in the neighbourhood is in competition to fancy this one's no frills and pocket friendly. Excellent dhosas and coffees.
One of the finest Dosa experiences in Calcutta, after the famous Raj.
With the option to sit in your car and enjoy the meal, enough varieties as well as pocket friendly, its worth the visit.
Their Idli and vada are awesome. Tried the dosa and uttampam, they were good but not as good. The Pizza was average. Overall a great experience. We have tried this place 2-3 times and the quality is consistent .
A decent and comfortable place to enjoy good south indian food. Nothing path breakingly good, but at the same time decent and well priced.Â
The cold coffee is a winner and items on the menu are satisfying. The Lack of air conditioning might be discomforting for some, but nonetheless you will be happy with your lunch. The topi dosa combo is a well priced option to go for if you are alone.
I'm a frequent visitor in this food joint.I usually prefer to take the food inside my car.I have tasted Cold coffee,cold coffee with ice cream,pizza,cheese dosa.serving time was really quick,very much affordable,good in taste & quantity.
Fried finger idly is a sensation of its own. With the right mix of masala flavor and fried with love, it blew my mind. The south indian sister of potato wedges. 12 pieces in 70 bucks, this mouth watering dish is a complete value for money. Then comes a combo platter with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, might look weird with idlis and dosas but it does it own job, it brings you back from south india. They also offer pizzas and drinks, American ice cream soda is worth a try.
Great food. Always hot and steaming Idly, Vada and variety of dosas and uttapam. Good service with personal management involvement. Keep it up. We love to come here again and again.
Awesome food, friendly staff, when I come back home for holidays, this restaurant is my go-to destination for the mouth watering finger fried idlis.
Always a satisfying experience to be here...food is piping hot..hygiene and cleanliness is well taken care of..my favourite beverage ..ice cream soda is available..cinnamon coffee is a must try for the coffee lovers..
South indian is one of my favourite cuisines.. and the bets place to have it is here..Â
Garden cafe express is a cosy place to chill over for coffee with friends..
A must try is their finger fried idly and mote carlo..!!
A very cute and cosy place to hang-out with friends..
A must visit for all..!!
This joint just off purna das road has been a regular visit...gives you the added comfort of service in the car along with dine in...filter and espresso coffees compliment the evening mood, new introductions include green and tulsi tea!! Do try the Cheese Mushroom Dosa!!
Cosey place away from the humdrum of the main road...love the freshly baked pizzas with a cold coffee..the bar stools have added to the comfort of the eating experience and the friendly staff deserve an appreciation!!
Garden Cafe Express Is A Restaurant Of My Friend's Father Rajendra Bagrodia And His Son And My BF Tarish Bagrodia. Our Favorite Dishes Are Mushroom Dosa Mushroom Chèese Masala Dosa Idly And Vada. Hmm Yummy. #THANKYOUDAD. #LOVEYOUSOMUCH. #MOSTLOVABLEDADEVER.
Perfect Sunday breakfast hangout. Haven't had better South Indian food for the longest time. The mushroom cheese dosa Is sumptuous and you can get the perfect cold coffee to wash it down. I would also recommend their Monte Carlo for anyone with a sweet tooth and a craving for a chocolate dessert.

Super-cute joint wit bar chairs..nice ambience and extremely well behaved staff.. love their vadas,fried idlis,uttapams n dosas.. thats almost all they have.. teas, including green tea and coffees are available too.. visit Garden Cafe for some healthy and tasty South Indian food.
Went there yesterday and its a lovely place! Loved the happy and cheerful vibe. The food was good and the pricing accurate! The size of the dosas is more than enough for one person, coupled with the unlimited (delicious) sambhar and chutney. The only thing that needs improvement is their service but that can be ignored as long as the service culminates into good food. :)
loved the fried idly here...its been great since they introduced chairs...the comfort of sitting is a welcome move...pizza and cheese mushroom dosas will make you come back...new addition of filter coffee is a delight in this winter...!!!
It's a small eatery located near la maison des delices. Tried mix cheese pizza, it was quite good. The rates are affordable. This area is apt for evening snacks with friends
Perfect little fast food joint for the Indian palette with some unique items which make u wanna come back again for eg. cottons ice cream soda aha! the original khus/rose syrup sherbats and a surprisingly good kesar kulfi. Their cold coffee will remind of you of the way we used to like it as kids when we did'nt even know how to 'get started with coffee'. This place is totally retro!

We figured this place out while searching for a good south indian breakfast joint near gariahat. It is secluded from the main road and is usually empty. I must say that it is one of the better places where you get south indian breakfast both in terms of quality and price. We ordered for a light breakfast.. Uttapam and masala dosa along with tea. The masala dosa was really good but what really grabbed my attention was the white coconut chutney. The coconut chutney was a little sour adding to the taste and also thick. We almost had the entire meal with the chutney and asked for double refills.Â
The hospitality was quite good and the ambiance also scored high. Do drop in and find out more about the place
Located in the lanes of Southern Avenue near abouts precisely keyatala road, it's not very popular like it's main branch in alipore area. Idli, utttapam, and dosas from this kitchen is just too irresistible. My favourites here are the Cheese Mushroom Dosa and the Onion Uttapam. Try it!!!
Review 2.
It's gained popularity over the years and has footfalls now but they seriously lack the seating capacity. They started with standing table dining and later added high chairs but unfortunately can accommodate only about 10 people max. They are renovating finally and installing AC which means they will have to change their seating capacity too to get more guests seated. In short you got to be lucky to not wait.
A very soothing place to hangout and one of the few vegetarian place which I like.
Here u can get the most unique dosas and idlis
The cheese garlic mushroom dosa and cheese idli is yumm.....
Second review: (may,2015) Well it is the second time I'm writing about this restaurant. This time i tried two new dishes and i had to appreciate. I ordered finger fried idly and baby corn uttapam for home delivery. I just loved them. Uttapam was more like a small soft pizza without cheese and bread and tasted awesome. The idly was completely different from the usual ones. It looked like finger chips but size is bigger. Idly was smashed with potato and then cut into pieces and fried with minimum oil which made it very crispy. Though it was a bit salty. I loved its taste. These two are must try.
First review: Since it is very close to my home, i visit here very often. I love the south indian dishes here. I love the different types of dosas-Cheese dosa, butter dosa,pepper dosa and butter masala dosas are my favourite. I love idlis and dahi vadas. They have a variety of drinks. I enjoy the floats, lassi here. Uttapam is also tasty. For those who love south indian dishes, it is a must come.
I love dis small place....its quite. Nd d food is always good....dahi vada here is d best I had anywhere. Always go dere for Dahi vadas....also cold coffee. Nd d Kulfi. Dosas nd idlis r good as usual. One of my fav places....
Great ambience and food. The staff are welcoming and the service is prompt. The dahi vadas are very refreshing in summers and the pizzas with the cold coffee are my favourite. The best thing has been there introduction of chairs now, which makes the place much more comfortable. Its a definite place in Kolkata for me to hang out with friends in the evenings.
BEST SOUTH INDIAN FOOD IN KOLKATA!
Brought a Tamilian friend along who was apprehensive at first but then went ahead to order 2 rounds of coffees and Dosa's. Everything was impeccably done and the staff was lovely. 10/10 recommend if you are in the area and looking to grab a bite :)))
Dosa was good but the sambar, chutney and sada vada was not upto the mark. Was a little disappointed. Otherwise ambience and service was good as always. The next time we visited food was excellent. My plain cheese Dosa was v good along with idlis and mixed uttapam. Very satisfactory lunch.
The food served has really improved which we made out on our next visit to the cafe. The place has been done up and is looking good. AC is very effective. The cheese garlic Dosa was to die for along with the mixed uttapam. Very satisfying lunchđ
I loved the hot mocha here and in car service is pretty good and fast. You basically I don't have to get down of my car to order food, I can order and eat it inside my car. The veg pizza is best here, with green sauce. I visit here often for hot mocha and pizza âī¸âī¸
If you want to sit inside and have your food there it also fine, the sitting arrangements are pretty decent.
Do try sambar Vada. Always best.
Good quality south Indian dishes....keep it up....more customers will come
Fresh & hygienic... Staff's behaviour is good, AC's are chilled... Good to have south indian veg snacks...
I see they have high demand for South Indian dishes. People enjoy their foods. They make long Dhosa wich is their speciality. And nice place to enjoy your dinning peacefully.
Food is good but ambience is not up tot he mark
Little n cozy... same awesome taste since 20+ years for me atleast.
I still drop in here sometime for quick bites.
Known for its quick service and South Indian food. Seating and ambience is basic. Price for two person meal would be under âš500
The food is standard. You can't go wrong here. Service is fast. Ambience is ok
Excellent service and quality of food. We are extremely satisfied.
Great food, but has become too expensive for the type of food served and the overall experience.
