What people say, in short
Cafe Bengaluru in Alkapuri is a popular pick for Karnataka-style South Indian food and filter coffee, with a few locals naming it the best South Indian place in Vadodara and praising dishes like khara pongal, ghee podi idli and ghee roast masala dosa; one fan calls the filter coffee authentic. One regular found it busy even in the early morning.
