Clients reviews about Purohit Cafe

Great South Indian restaurant. Remains closed on Wednesday. The place is known to have brought the South Indian food for the first time in Udaipur. It is the oldest South Indian restaurant in Udaipur and has maintained its taste. It's known for the authentic taste in South Indian food. When there weren't many restaurants in Udaipur, Purohit Cafe was the place Udaipurites used to flock to. It's more about the emotion of people of Udaipur rather than anything else. This place still remains heavily crowded in evening. Food: 5/5 Taste, quality, quantity, aunthenticity, everything is perfect. Service: 5/5 Pretty quick. They usually take 5-10 mins to serve. Ambience: 5/5 More like a traditional dining hall of a good court. But that's as per the price this place asks for. ~ Anshul M

Absolutely loved the Ghee Podi idly at Purohit Cafe—soft, flavorful, and generously coated with aromatic podi and ghee; it’s a must-try for South Indian food lovers in Udaipur. The cafe is a simple, veg-friendly spot in Anand Plaza with consistent South Indian favorites like idli, dosa, and vada on the menu, and the prices are reasonable. Food: 5/5 — Fresh, authentic South Indian flavors; the Ghee Podi idly stood out for its perfect texture and spice. Service: 4/5 — Courteous staff and straightforward, no-frills service. Atmosphere: 4/5 — Clean, cozy, and family-friendly; not fancy, but comfortable for a quick, tasty meal. Would definitely return and recommend this place for a satisfying South Indian bite in the city. ~ Divyanshu G

Stopped at Purohit Cafe for breakfast during our road trip — and what a find! The food was fresh, hot and made to order, with an authentic Tamil Nadu taste that completely surprised us. We had dosas — crisp and perfectly made, thatte idlis — soft, fluffy and steaming hot, and filter coffee that was strong, fresh and just right. The sambar and chutneys were spot on too. You wouldn't expect such genuine South Indian flavours in the middle of Rajasthan! Service was quick, warm and attentive. Food came out fast, exactly what you need when you're back on the road. Clean, efficient, fairly priced and genuinely delicious. Highly recommended. We'd happily stop here again! ~ Bela A

We were on our way to Udaipur stn and had a train to catch within an hour. We searched online and called Purohit Cafe and requested to give us a table asap due to time constraints. We shared our live location n Mr Purohit assured us of the table and we already placed the order on WA. It was our very first visit to Purohit Cafe and the experience was just wow. They had kept the table ready as soon as we reached the food was served hot and fresh. Extremely well managed Staff and the good quality was too good. We really appreciate and strongly recommend Purohit cafes service and hospitality. A must visit place for South Indian cuisine. Thank you Mr Purohit and team. You were awesome 👌 👏 👍 ~ darshana s

Had an amazing experience at 𝑷𝒖𝒓𝒐𝒉𝒊𝒕 𝑪𝒂𝒇𝒆 - Best South Indian in Udaipur Since 1987, Udaipur. The South Indian food here is absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavors. The Masala Dosa was perfectly crispy and tasty, while the Idli-Sambar was soft, fresh, and served with flavorful chutneys. Every item we tried was amazing and worth it. The café is well-known for its authentic South Indian taste, unlimited sambhar and chutneys, and pocket-friendly prices. A must-visit place in Udaipur for all dosa lovers and families looking for tasty vegetarian food. Highly recommended for quality, taste, and quick service. ~ Anish G

A True Dosa Masterpiece! Purohit cafe is, without a doubt, a must-visit for any South Indian food lover. The atmosphere is bustling yet welcoming, but the real star of the show is the Dosa. I go here often to eat, all the dosas here are tasty which is I tried. I love the paper and masal dosa here it was absolute perfection. The batter was expertly fermented, resulting in a golden-brown, paper-thin crispness that held up beautifully. Crucially, it was served piping hot—the ideal temperature for maximum enjoyment. The accompanying sambar was rich, complex, and clearly simmered for hours, and the two varieties of fresh chutney were vibrant and perfectly balanced. The service was swift and friendly, even during the lunch rush. Everything tasted authentic, fresh, and genuinely spectacular. If you’re searching for the ultimate dosa experience, look no further. This place sets the gold standard. ~ Dr. R

This place has stood the test of time due to its consistent quality and generous quantity. On weekdays, there's usually a waiting time of 30 minutes, so you can imagine the crowd on weekends! The service is fast, and the unlimited chutney and sambar are a big hit. The dosas are large, tasty, and perfect for quickly filling your tummy. Chutney and sambar are crowd favorites, and the staff does an excellent job of continuously refilling them. The starters were delicious too, and the prices are very reasonable. Overall, a must-visit for anyone craving authentic and satisfying South Indian food! ~ Gaurav B

Excellent place for South Indian food. Food is delicious and proper south indian styale.. We tried dahi wada, mysor masala dosa, Rava dosa, uttappam and everything was excellent Service is fast ...

A good space for family dining. Me and my younger brother went for dinner. We ordered paper Masala dosa. The chatni and masala is free if you want more.

Taste was awesome. Clean place, ambience is good. Budgeted restaurant of udaipur in South Indian food. Must try. ~ Trilok K

I have newly moved to Udaipur from southern India and have been desperately looking for some authentic restaurant for South Indian food like Dosa and Idly. This restaurant happens to be awesome 🤩 for South Indian variety of cuisine. The taste is amazing with many types of chutney. Service is very quick without much waiting and warm food. Prices are very reasonable. I would love to visit the restaurant regularly. ~ Subodh V

If you want the most authentic South Indian breakfast in Udaipur, look no further! Purohit Cafe is a gem. Their Masala Dosa is perfectly crisp, and the Idlis are like clouds—incredibly soft and fresh. But the real star is the Sambar; it has that perfect balance of spices that takes you straight to the South. It’s a simple, cozy place with quick service and very pocket-friendly prices. A must-visit for every breakfast lover in the city ~ Sake D

Forever amazing!! A pure vegetarian restaurant with an exceptional taste in South Indian dishes maintained since 1987. Surely recommended. Sometimes they do take booking on call, but this restaurant never gets empty, hence they deny for call bookings usually. I recommend to visit beforehand if more no. of people else the turnaround time is 10-15 min(To reach Table) + 15-20 min (Food Preparation). ~ Arushi M

यहाँ की क्वालिटी हमेशा अच्छी रहती है और क्वांटिटी भी बढ़िया है। वैसे तो वीकडेज़ में 30 मिनट का वेटिंग रहता है, तो सोचिए वीकेंड्स में कितना भीड़ होगी 😂! सर्विस काफी तेज़ है, और यहाँ चटनी और सांभर अनलिमिटेड मिलता है, जो बहुत बढ़िया है। डोसे बड़े और टेस्टी थे, एक ही में पेट भर गया 😅। स्टार्टर्स भी स्वादिष्ट थे और दाम भी वाजिब हैं। एक बार चटनी थोड़ा-सॉल्टी हो गई थी, शायद कुक का हाथ फिसल गया होगा 🤭। एक बार दोसा भी थोड़ा जला हुआ आया था लेकिन स्टाफ ने बिना बोले बदल दिया। कुल मिलाकर, अगर आपको साउथ इंडियन खाना पसंद है तो यहाँ जरूर आना चाहिए! 👌🥳 ~ VSK

Purohit Cafe turned out to be a wonderful breakfast stop during my road trip. Everything was served fresh and hot, and the made-to-order preparation made the meal feel especially satisfying. I really enjoyed the authentic Tamil Nadu flavors, which were an unexpected highlight of the journey. It was a lovely find, and I would happily stop here again when passing through. ~ Rubi S

#A truly great masala dosa balances a paper-thin, crispy outer crust with a soft center, filled with warm, spiced potato masala. #If you want to sample authentic idlis, then your search ends here. #The best dahi vada spots and products are widely praised for their melt-in-the-mouth soft lentil balls, creamy yogurt, and balanced sweet-tangy chutneys. ~ exploring i

Superb food. Family restaurant, authentic south Indian food. Fast service. They have huge variety of dosas, Thatte idly , which is hardly available anywhere else, uttapam, hot n gold beverages. Just one thing is missing, variety of Rice preparations like Curd rice, lemon rice, tamarind rice, rasam rice etc. As for freshness n quality I give them 5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟. ~ Pooja G
