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.

Went here for the first time today (10/4/25). There were four of us we sat down around noon and had a spectacular meal. We got a couple of dosas and the Pongal and wada combo (#4) and the idli and wada combo (#1). All the food items were very good. I have seen reviews complaining about the service; I have to say the service was excellent. They were quite busy on a Saturday morning/afternoon but there were three people taking orders and walking around to ensure tables were taken care of; and at least four different food runners bringing out dishes as soon as they were ready. As I said this was my first time here but the service was great. I also noticed they are a BYOB and I will avail of that next time.

Gentleman was so useful on the phone - advised us to call 20 mins earlier for dosa that takes longer . Upon arrival we were offered sweets on the house. Very nice , clean atmosphere and professional.

Had a wonderful experience at Malgudi Cafe Exton! The authentic South Indian flavors were spot on - loved the Filter Coffee, Cut Mirchi, Masala Dosa, and Veg Uttappam. The ambience was cozy and welcoming. Although it was a bit busy, the 10-minute wait for a table was worth it. Being a full vegetarian restaurant, it's a great spot for those looking for delicious, meat-free options. Highly recommend! 👍

Everything at this place was great! We started with filter coffee, Bangalore dosa and onion chilli rawa dosa. Ended with pineapple kesari bath which was mind blowing! Aunty(main chef) also gave us Mysore pak to try and it melted in the mouth! They even do vegan and jain alternatives. Very clean food and great service.
