★★★★★ 5.0 Hareesh Ravi · Feb 2026

I have visited this Cafe once and ordered from them multiple times. First off, the only restaurant that packs dosa right. Just for that you would want to order from them. Next, their specialty dosas are very tasty. I do not in general like complicated dosas but the ones like pav bhai, paneer, bhandi etc are quite good. Other items are tasty as well. Their chutneys are great while sambhar is decent. Would definitely keep ordering/visiting. Recommend this place for everyone that would like slightly different yet tasty takes on dosas.

ID Cafe is a great place that offers unique twists on traditional dishes like idly and dosa, winning your stomach over with delightful flavors. While their order-taking can be slow, the food is served quickly, making up for it. It’s a wholesome spot with a twist on South Indian flavors that’s definitely worth checking out.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Aishwarya Kher · Jan 2025

A good place to try your favorite South Indian food. I liked that they have signature offerings that isn't available in other similar restaurants around. Taste wise, the signature dosas like Mumbai Jini Dosa and Paneer Tikka Dosa were good. We liked the tiffin combo as well. They have a cozy ambience and outdoor dining as well. My suggestion is to work on the sambhar taste as it felt sweeter instead of spicier, and to increase the Dosa size to some extent to match it with the price level.

Excellent ambience and cuisine. The bite-sized batata vada was delicious and was cooked to perfection! The Mumbai Jini dosa was superb. Also the pav bhaji idly was excellent!! The menu is misleading because I assumed the pav bhaji idly would also include chutneys and sambar. It didn't, though. The tikka fries didn't appeal to me either. The tikka masala lacked salt and was sugary.

You can take a Hyderabadi out of Hyderabad, but you can’t take Hyderabad out of a Hyderabadi! As someone who’s always craving that authentic South Indian flavor, especially Hyderabadi-style, I’ve been on the hunt for something that takes me back home. Finally, my search ended with Idli Dosa Cafe, and I must say, it came very close to hitting the mark. Let’s start with the ambiance—it’s a notch above the usual South Indian cafes in the area. The open seating is a personal favorite, especially with the string lights hanging above. I can only imagine how magical the vibe would be at night, with the lights adding a cozy yet lively feel. The dosas here are truly reminiscent of what you’d find in Hyderabad. They’re smeared with all the good stuff—upma, special garlic chutney, karam podi, chees
