There is more to Carnatic than music and dance

Carnatic Cafe

Wall hangings inside the restaurant

If you thought Carnatic was a prefix to music, you might be wrong until you start exploring what carnatic cuisine could be. It was sheer accident I discovered this place, neatly tucked in a not-so-conspicuous corner in New Friends Colony. We had lost our way in the weekend madness only to discover a small board announcing a cafe in the ground-floor of India Mall (hic!) while I had to take my die-hard vegetarian friend out for dinner. The place looked legitimately vegit.  Being from South, my reflexes are set to look away from anything that announces "South Indian Food" in Delhi, nevertheless the place had a charm: cute and homely that could attract a carnivore.

Platter

 The place was minimalist, unlike most restaurants in Delhi, with neatly set tables and ambient lighting. The walls had neatly arranged frames of colorful photographs and posters of movies and aroma of fresh ground coffee and steaming ghee which rightly reminded olden days in college canteens.

The menu was modest, with a strikingly large list of Dosas, and yes, of course modestly priced, and of-course everything comes with a set of coconut chutneys: red, green and white.

The staff was cordial and more than happy to guide you through the menu and explain the details.

Things you should try:
Dosas / Ghee Roast
Lunch Platter
Sweets: Obattu
