After hearing all the buzz about Laxmi Cafe House, I finally decided to give it a try. I must say, the experience was a bit underwhelming compared to the hype it receives.
First off, the waiting time was about 20 minutes, which isn't terrible, but it’s definitely not something I’d expect for a place that claims to be top-tier. When we were finally seated, I was eager to see what all the fuss was about.
As for the food, it wasn’t bad by any means, but it also didn’t blow me away. The taste was decent—certainly authentic to the extent that it could satisfy anyone unfamiliar with South Indian cuisine. However, if you’ve had real South Indian food in South India, you might find it a bit "ok-ok." It's the kind of food that would likely leave you satisfied but not craving more.
For those new to South Indian food, it could be considered "good" and a decent introduction, but for seasoned enthusiasts, there’s definitely better out there without the wait or the hype. The overall experience was solid, but honestly, it didn't feel like it was worth the 20-minute wait or the reputation it’s built.
Would I return? Sure, but probably not in a rush. If you’re nearby and looking for a quick South Indian meal, it’s fine. Just don’t go in expecting the best...

The dosa batter literally was soaked in butter. It had a buttery flavour and crispy texture which I like. The masala had potato and other ingredients. The masala was good too. Beside I got onion tomato chutney and coconut chutney, which had roasted Fenugreek (methi) in it. The sambhar was delicious it had carrots, pumpkin and other ingredients. The staff told me to get the refill if I wanted without even asking for it. The staff is polite, and the waiting time is less. The restaurant is managed by a South Indian uncle only. He also sells South Indian spices and snacks, do consider them, if you like South Indian cuisine like me. The restaurant is inside the Brahmaputra Market complex, you would require to go inside the complex. The restaurant is small, but not crowded. Also, it gives an outlook of a South...
