Indian Coffee House, Jawahar Kala Kendra
9 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/jaipur·13 comments quoted below
What people say, in short
Indian Coffee House at Jawahar Kala Kendra draws recommendations for its old-school character and inexpensive food. This is the JKK outlet, not the separate Indian Coffee Factory or the MI Road coffee house. Several people suggest the south Indian dishes, including dosa, and one recommends idli. One visitor liked the vegetable uttappam and biryani but disliked the coffee and sandwiches; another recommends biryani too. Two visitors disliked the cutlet, one finding it too mustard-heavy. Work advice conflicts: one says it is not calm enough, while another suggests avoiding the evening rush and continuing to order.
