" I had high expectations based on the reviews, but my visit to Malgudi Cafe was a mixed bag. The food was tasty for sure, especially the pineapple kesari bath which was really sweet and satisfying. However, I found the portions a bit smaller than I expected for the price. The service was polite but felt rushed during busy hours, which wasn't what I anticipated. Overall, I had a good time but felt it could be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing experience at Malgudi Cafe! The food was beyond delicious, especially the variety in the thali. The service staff was super cordial and made the visit memorable. The only small downside was the timing of serving the coffee, which could be better timed after the meals. Overall, I'll recommend it to every South Indian food lover! " (*Curated Review*)
