" This place is a bit of a mixed bag! The food overall is delicious and brings authentic South Indian flavors to the table, especially the breakfast options. However, on a recent visit, I found the atmosphere less than ideal. The shared restroom with the gas station made it hard for me to enjoy my meal fully. I hope they can improve the cleanliness and ambiance because the food truly deserves a better setting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Market Cafe is my go-to for lunch. Their thali platter offers a great mix of flavors and allows you to enjoy various dishes in one meal. I appreciate the authentic South Indian buzz they bring to the table with their sambhar and rasam. However, the surroundings can be a bit cluttered, and it feels somewhat disorganized. If you can look past that, the food is genuinely good! " (*Curated Review*)

" Got a takeout from Market Cafe last week, and although the food was good, they forgot one of my dishes. The flavours were still nice, but the service managed to put a damper on the experience. Nevertheless, I can't fault the quality of their food! Keep the authenticity up, and I’ll keep coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a birthday dinner at Market Cafe recently. We loved the goat roast and chicken curry – bursting with authentic flavors! However, despite how packed the place was, we noticed the service lagging, which was disappointing. Still, the food outweighed the inconvenience, and we’d consider coming back in the future, especially if we want to indulge in that fantastic biryani again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Market Cafe based on a friend's recommendation, and it didn’t disappoint! The quality of food is excellent, especially the fish grill which was superb. I appreciate their generous portion sizes, though the space could use more seating arrangements. All in all, it’s worth the visit for authentic Indian fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" Market Cafe provides a good escape into Indian dining, although I had minor issues with table cleanliness. Their dishes are consistently good, with my personal favorites being the goat curry and masala chai. I am often impressed by how balanced the flavors are. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine, Market Cafe is the place to be! Their biryani is to die for, perfectly spiced and aromatic. On the flip side, I've encountered a few issues with the overall cleanliness, particularly in common areas. Hoping for improvements, as the food is truly fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)
