Indian Coffee House
इंडियन कॉफ़ी हाउस
A cooperative café open since 1957, once a gathering place for scholars and writers; affordable masala dosa and cream coffee are the highlights.
Located at 15 MG Marg in Civil Lines, the café is run by a staff cooperative. Open since 1957, it has long been a lively meeting place for local scholars, writers and politicians to drink coffee and talk. It serves South Indian light meals such as masala dosa and uttapam, egg breakfasts and sandwiches; the hot cream coffee is worth trying. The seating is simple but clean, and prices are affordable: a masala dosa costs about 160 rupees. It's a good spot for breakfast or a late-afternoon break.
