Crema's Take
“ID Cafe pairs exceptional South Indian food—particularly their crispy dosas and idlies—with a genuinely welcoming vibe that makes it feel more like a friend's kitchen than a cafe. The prices are genuinely fair, the staff is warm and attentive, and the space is quiet enough to actually focus if you're working, making it perfect for a long laptop session where you actually want to eat something memorable. If you're craving authentic flavors without pretension or steep markups, this is worth seeking out.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

See all on Google →I have nothing to compare to, but got #12 Idly and it was delicious! Was pretty empty at lunch on a Tuesday but was nice to have a place to sit and eat away from my office.
The food is super good. Best dosa i have had till now.
What an amazing surprise from this newly opened restaurant. Delicious South Indian food and the warmth to serve it!! Loved it!!
Super good South Indian restaurant, great prices and very kind staff. Food is delicious!
First time trying it. I got the Karaikudi goat keema (signature dosa) and mango lassie. The food was flavorful and the server at the counter was very kind. I would definitely go back to try other things.
