Madras Cafe

0.5

A no-frills South Indian breakfast spot on the Causeway for idli, dosa and filter coffee.

Quick, cheap, and unpretentious — a proper filter-coffee-and-dosa stop, with basic table seating for a fast breakfast, not a lingering work session.

A cheap-and-cheerful dosa stop, not a work cafe.

  • Seating

    Reviews describe the place as too crowded with people waiting hours for a seat; cramped, canteen-type seating in a very small space.

We last checked this cafe on 2026-09-23. Wifi gets worse and rules change. If you're sitting there now, one tap keeps the next person honest.

Did the wifi hold up?
Could you plug in?
Did they let you stay?
