This place has been here forever. I remember going here 30 years ago. You get that warm feeling when getting into one of these places, like the Palmgrove or Ashoka or Savera. The feeling of stepping into another era where you didnt have to know english or hindi to order south indian food. It is one of those places where you can ask 'what is available now? ' and instead of pointing you to a menu card, the waiter will actually tell you everything that is available. It is one of those old style places where you 'd see a 70 year old uncle who stopped by just to have a coffee. The interiors have been modernized long since what it used to be, but the taste is very familiar. If you are in the vicinity, and are looking for a proper south indian veg fare that used to be so common when Saravana Bhavan was its peak, step into Doveton Cafe. Especially for their evening snacks, from thayir vada, to bajjis, to vadacurry and more. It is an economical place where you 'd be happy to pay more for the old school service and the home style taste. Go for it.

Food was awesome and taste and quality is too good... Staffs are also very polite. Their breakfast combo and mini tiffen is awesome. Lunch is also fine and satisfactory.

I've been here several times and never once disappointed. Fresh, hot, and quick meals served. We love the breakfast spread and the south indian stuff. Dosa, vada, kesari etc.,. It's good onthe tummy and my mother prefers this place as it is light on her systel as well she hates hotel food other wise. So a good, place to dine at when you are hungry.
