Lakshmi Restaurant - South Indian restaurant in Dehradun - Dehradun, India

ONLY CASH PAYMENTS ARE ACCEPTED! Nice little fast food joint inside the bustling paltan bazaar. Probably the only restaurant in the vicinity. You can visit here for veg chow mein and South Indian snacks like idlis/wadas/dosa after doing shopping in paltan bazaar. Prices are very extremely reasonable. The South Indian snacks are slightly at the spicier end and idli sambar is a usually preferred option in South Indian snacks as it's served very hot. It's not the best South Indian food you will ever eat, but a decent healthy option to try after you are tired due to shopping! Idli/vada comes dipped in sambar and chutney is separate, if you want sambar separate, pls inform at the time of placing order. Chow mein is available in full/half plate options. I visit this place every year since my childhood as this is an essential part of my vacations! My usual order here is idli sambar, full plate chow mein and Lassi. You can try the lassi only if you like it chilled, at a thinner consistency and less sweet. Badam milk is also a good option. Cold drinks are also available. Cold coffee is available on few days. Hot Tea or hot coffee not available. Service is good but slow as the place is usually crowded and it will take some time for you to find a seat and for a waiter to reach you to place your order. The payments are strictly cash only and no online payments are accepted. Payments are collected at the main counter, after finishing food. Bill is NOT bought at the table. I think more than food, people visit Lakshmi restaurant for its old days charm and nostalgia, so don't expect too much variety. The menu is fixed. You might end up sharing a table with strangers (due to the crowd), who are there to share either the same nostalgia or the same curiosity to understand all the hype around this place!

One of the oldest restaurant of paltan bazar, me and my wife use to come to this restaurant when we were in the college (2000-2003), food quality is same like those days, got chance to revisit the places of our memories.

I going there since my childhood .. best place in paltan bazar.. whenever I go to there masala dosa is must to eat.

One of the oldest South India restaurants in dehradun where the interiors and furniture have not changed for ages, known for selling fast food items like dosa idli, vada, chomping, cholle bhature, coffee milk shake, cutlets but the taste seems to have seen a downward spiral. It was a regular feature for me as a kid as I love my masala dosa but the taste is not the same it used to be earlier and at Rs 85 I found it expensive but some might say that it's inflation, but had the taste been good I would not have minded paying the price for the same. Also they still accept cash only with no option of card or online payment. Would request the owner to look into the taste, rest things don't matter, please bring back my childhood nostalgia back!

service is so fast. really amazing! Dosa was so tasty. Authentic taste! Maja aagya we also tasted thandi rabri, it was also tasty!

It's a crowded place... Food is very good... Service gets bit delayed due to Less manpower according to the Tables

I went with a lot of expectations but was disappointed. I have eaten better South Indian food elsewhere. Their food is ok to fill your stomach. Service on time, they provide everything dip in shambar which not everyone likes. The atmosphere is a little gloomy.

Place is average. Food is very appetising, which is the main thing. Authentic South Indian food is serve which is amazing , sambar is delicious.chowmein, cold coffee, cutlet and lassi is also available here. Price of food is affordable.Limited seats. Very crowded. Its a bit suffocating inside. Service is quick. Staff is friendly but the owner is rude, talks very rudely. No washroom. Hygienic.
