Madras Coffee House - Cafe in Khajuraho - Chhatarpur, India

We had filter coffee and vada with south Indian touch at Khajuraho. The coffee was very good and the vada is ok ok kind. This is located just opposite to Matangeshwar temple which is very small place with minimal facilities. Not sure about the taste of other items. If you wanna stuff home made can surely visit here.

Great little cafe to sit and watch the world go by. Very nice owners. The idlis were only average, but the egg curry might have been the best I have ever had! Excellent chai, too. In a town where everybody is at you all the time, this is a good place to step out of it for a while.

Just an average place. Sitting arrangement is fine but it lacks authentic south indian food taste. It was ok to some point but cannot give it a full stars. Their dosa felt like home made , really sofy but their sambhar was pale, no taste at all. I don't know how to explain but something was missing. I hope they are going to improve it.

The owner is very proud that he's the 3rd generation managing the restaurant and that they are one of the first restaurants in town. I guess the grandfather who set up this restaurant would not be happy to see how his grandchild manages the place. Service is very bad. The owner, sitting on the table next to us, was watching a movie on his tablet. Very loud. So quite uncomfortable for us. The food was OK. This is the reason my review gets 3 star. But we were only served 2 chapattis with our tali and every extra chapatti or extra dal had to be paid for. Making money is clearly the priority in this restaurant and service is far behind.

Though the family is from Salem looks they have lost touch with authentic south indian preparations. The sambar has no right ingredients and Rasam is pure tamarind water. Very disappointing. Though the curries were tasty. I wanted a good authentic south Indian thali.

It's like a small restaurant which the family has opened in their home itself. We ignored the ambience thinking we would get some good homely and authentic South Indian food, however it turned out to be just OK. We ordered almost everything from what the owner told us as available at that time. Dosa and Uttapam were both extremely good and fluffy, however Sambhar and Chutney both were horrible. I am not sure how they messed up the Sambhar, it was tasting like normal Dal that too with no taste. Wada and Rasam were not available, so we ordered Idly which was also not so good. Overall ok experience worth only to order Dosa/Uttapam.

Very friendly, helpful staff, delicious dosas and great coffee!

Very good filter coffee and tasty dosa
