About Malgudi
Unique and Authentic Choices
We have placed utmost importance in the selection and preparation of ingredients by sourcing them from locations such as Chickmangulur, Hosur, Mysore, and Bangalore. We go to the extent of making pure ghee from scratch to give the extra sizzle to the taste.
Our specialty lies in our unique recipes accentuated with blend of flavors and spices imported from the farms in Karnataka. Each and every ingredient in the making of our food is carefully selected and assembled, so much so that we even make our own house-made ghee (clarified butter).
We take pride in serving freshly made food to our customers, and therefore, all our dishes are prepared upon order. We do not use any artificial colors or preservatives in our food. We also cater to dietary restrictions and offer gluten-free and vegan options.

This place has a great ambiance, making it an excellent choice for Indian vegetarian food lovers. The aesthetic decor adds to the overall experience. I particularly enjoyed the podi idli, dosa, pongal, and bisi bele bath. However, the cut mirchi wasn’t very impressive. If you’re feeling very hungry, the thali is a great option to consider. You’ll especially love this place if you’re looking for delicious food at a budget-friendly price. Don’t forget their filter coffee and masala tea it’s the best Updated : this is my favorite place but trust me the quality has been lowered Still love the dosa but others the puri saag was not good for almost last 3 visits

Revisited Malgudi Cafe multiple times in between and continue to be impressed by their authentic and quality of their South Indian food. Every dish was flavorful, comforting, and reminded me of home-style cooking done right. The dosas were perfectly crisp, the sambar was rich and aromatic, and the chutneys tasted incredibly fresh. The hospitality and service were equally excellent—warm, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. It’s clear the team takes pride in delivering a genuine South Indian dining experience. If you’re craving authentic South Indian cuisine, Maligudi is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

The friendliest service! We’ve never had southern Indian food before and we’re completely lost in what to order but our wonderful waitress talked us through options and gave us her recommendations! We have plenty of leftovers and can’t wait to go back for dinner. We went for brunch and got their famous coffee plus some dishes

Really fantastic. As a white dude in my 30s, I’ve had lots of Indian food but never South Indian style like this place. Everything was amazing. Highly recommend the Chatt was amazing, and the masala dosi was awesome, basically like a delicious crispy pancake with onions and mashed potatoes inside. Also tried some of the sweets for the dawhali festival, those were really good.

This was my first experience at a Southern Indian restaurant. I'm used to places that serve tikka masala, vindaloo, palak paneer, etc. I learned, that is Northern Indian cuisine. At this Southern cuisine restaurant, I didn't recognize a single dish on the menu, but fortunately, went with colleagues that were familiar and even grew up in southern India. We ordered about eight dishes and shared most all. The Dose was fantastic. But so was every other thing I tried - a similar but new experience. I was a bit concerned walking in that it's vegetarian and I'm a devoted carnivore, but I didn't miss it at all. I was full and more than happy. It was by far the best meal I had the entire 4 day work trip. I was the only non-Indian person in the restaurant the entire time I was there and there was a crowd. That's because it's incredible and authentic. The manager/server was very friendly and helpful. Oh, and the place is BYOB. As soon as I got back from the trip I was looking for Southern Indian cuisine near me, it's that's good.
