Kapoor’s Cafe Jayanagar — Restaurant in Bengaluru

Rating 4/10 for food based on taste according to me ✌🏻 purely from a dine-in perspective, Kapoor’s Cafe offers a warm, flavorful, and comfortable experience in Jayanagar. A few operational upgrades could elevate it further, especially in delivery and payment reliability.

Nestled in the bustling lanes of Jayanagar’s 3rd Block, Kapoor’s Cafe positions itself as a vegetarian haven offering a warm, family-friendly dining experience. A mix of cuisines—including North Indian, street food, fast food, and desserts—makes it a one-stop spot for everything from hearty parathas to sweet delights Zomato .

Ambiance & Atmosphere The café is praised for its relaxed and spacious seating, making it ideal for casual meetups, family gatherings, or catching up over a meal Zomato Just Dial . Many reviewers describe it as welcoming and comfortable—a ‘family place’, with ample room and a pleasant environment to unwind Zomato .

Food & Signature Dishes Kapoor’s Cafe is particularly celebrated for its parathas—especially the aloo paratha—which remains the top-highlight across menus and reviews Zomato magicpin . Other favorites include malai kofta, fruit cream, aloo poori, paneer do pyaza, spicy fries, and masala chaas Zomato magicpin .

Some reviewers also mention more curated offerings like gluten-free options and a unique dry fruit lassi served in a Patiala glass—plus creative use of gur (jaggery) in certain dishes—which stand out as thoughtful touches for diners with dietary preferences magicpin Service The service experience appears mixed. On one hand, multiple comments highlight prompt and friendly service with attentive staff and a well-managed front-of-house—instilling a positive note in the overall dining experience Just Dial +1 .

However, there are also critical takeaways. One guest recounted a frustrating experience with disallowed payment methods—despite what was communicated online—leading to double payments, a deduction from their UPI account, and an unresolved issue with the café management magicpin . Such lapses can overshadow otherwise strong service credentials.

Delivery Experience Online delivery reviews reveal recurring issues: delayed deliveries (sometimes taking up to an hour instead of the 35 minutes promised), cold or soggy food, incorrect items, and poor staff coordination. These operational glitches led to disappointment among several customers who expected timely, intact orders Zomato .

Pricing With an average cost estimate of around ₹1,000 for two people, the café falls into a moderate pricing range—not overly expensive, but reflective of decent portion sizes and diverse offerings Zomato magicpin .

Summary Verdict Kapoor’s Cafe shines best as a sit-down, vegetarian eatery in Jayanagar. The ambiance is inviting, and the menu offers familiar favorites like parathas and malai kofta, as well as innovative items like gluten-free dishes and jaggery-infused flavors. Service is generally prompt and friendly—but some payment system inconsistencies and delivery mishaps remain concerns. For dine-in experiences, it’s a dependable and comfortable choice; for deliveries, it’s wise to manage expectations.

Suggested Improvements

Enhance delivery logistics: Better training and system checks to prevent delays and order mix-ups.

Streamline payment communications: Ensure that what’s advertised online (e.g. acceptance of certain payment platforms) matches reality to avoid customer frustration.

Maintain consistency in service: Especially during peak hours, reinforcing protocols can preserve the...

It was a very hyped place when it was started and it really disappointed us when i visited the place. The ambiance seemed okay when we entered the place, they have normal seating along with the dhaba style of seating. When you visit the place in the weekends in night time, you get the bad smell of shoes as everyone will remove the shoes or slippers when they sit in the dhaba style seating and it made us disappointing.

Coming to the pricing of the food, it is bit over priced for the quality and taste what they serve.

Service is good and fast also they have a friendly staff.

I am not sure about the quality of the food precisely as i was disappointed with the taste and was really not sure about the quality.

We had ordered Sweet Lassi which was served in Matka and it was really good. The taste was excellent and the consistency of the lassi was really thick and good. If we have enjoyed something in this place is only the Sweet Lassi.

Starters :

Gobi Pakoda - This seemed okay but we did not really enjoyed it as the batter was more than the pakoda and was not crispy as well. But considering its gobi and onion it can be said was better than other starters.

Veg Kalmi Kabab Sticks - this is the dish which really disappointed us, it was completely horrible and it did not at all taste like the proper kalmi flavor. In Non veg, when it comes to kalmi kabab it has the completely different marination flavors which pleases the taste buds and feels good. This tasted something exactly like a rare south indian dish called Ade Dosa.

Cheese Pataka Balls - In replacement of the kalmi kabab sticks, we asked for something else and the staff recommended us to take this cheese pataka balls. The cheese inside the balls was bit harder and soggy. Even this disappointed us.

Mains :

Paneer Butter Masala - I am a hard core fan of paneer butter masala and have tried it almost where ever i go for lunch or dinner. Have never tasted such kind of panner butter masala which tasted so spicy infact more than the Veg Kadai. Paneer was also not too soft and it was hard, it was not juicy as well. Major disappointment was this dish. I compared Paneer Butter Masala with Veg Kadai as they have mentioned in the menu that Paneer Butter Masala has a sweeter base and veg kadai has a spicy base.

Veg Kadai - This dish seemed okay when compared to paneer butter masala. Even the gravy was better than that.

Phulkas with desi ghee - When you touch the phulkas you could feel the ruff texture of the wheat flour and was not soft enough like usually how a phulka has to be. We could eat it only because it had some desi ghee topped. To mention about the ghee, there was no fragrance of the desi ghee or flavor of the ghee at all.

I took all my family members to this place as it was the hyped place and we were really disappointed with the taste of the food.

When located in a place like Jayanagar, Taste and quality has to be better and good. As there are many more places in Jayanagar which serves one of the best food in bangalore. This is the only place in Jayanagar which served the...

If you're in the mood to pay an absurd amount of money for food that makes you question all your life decisions, then this restaurant is your one-stop destination!

Let’s kick things off with the appetizer: crispy corn. It was... okay. A rare moment of mediocrity in a sea of culinary disappointments. It’s like they took a simple dish and decided, “Why not make it just edible enough to give them hope?” Spoiler alert: That hope was dashed the moment the main course arrived.

Speaking of the main course — the paneer gravy was so bland, I could practically hear my taste buds screaming in despair. It was less “gravy” and more “sad, soupy attempt at flavor,” as if they were trying to hide the fact that they forgot to season it. It was like eating a soggy, unseasoned sponge. Absolutely tragic.

And the rice? Oh, don’t get me started. It tasted like they gathered up some leftover rice from yesterday, tossed it in a pan, and called it "fresh." No salt, no flavor — just dry, lifeless grains that somehow made the paneer gravy look like a Michelin-star dish (which, let’s be honest, is not saying much).

The lassi was the shining star of this meal. It was decent — no complaints there, though it was hard to enjoy when everything else made my taste buds question their existence. However, the kulhad it came in smelled like it had been reused so many times that even the clay was begging for retirement. A quick rinse would’ve done wonders, but who needs hygiene when you’ve got “rustic charm,” right?

Now, let’s talk about the service. If you love playing the "How Many Times Do I Have to Call the Waiter Before They Notice Me?" game, you’re in luck. It took me ten (yes, ten) attempts to get the waiter’s attention. I’ve had more attentive service at a self-serve buffet. By the time he finally came over, I was half convinced I had been ghosted. When he did arrive, it was clear I was just an inconvenience in his day, and my order felt like it was bothering him more than anything else.

And then came the cherry on top: the bill. A price so high for food that was not only disappointing but insulting. I felt like I should’ve been handed a “sorry we ruined your meal” card instead of a receipt. But no — apparently, I was expected to pay a small fortune for food that managed to be both underwhelming and unpleasant.

So, if you’ve ever wanted to throw your money into the wind and eat something that will make you wonder why you didn’t just stay home and cook, this is the place to go. Bon appétit! (But seriously, don’t expect to...
