I never get wrong to choose Balaji cafe for my chats and Pani puri cravings. They have the best sev puri, bhel puri, idli samber, dosa and Pani puri in the area, I tried these things from many places but Balaji cafe always fulfilled it with tasty food. I buy from them more then 10 times, the food quality and the taste are always the same. Definitely worth to spend here.

Went there on Tuesday at 2PM. Per their website and business hours on Google, they should have been open but they were closed. There were no signs on the door about hours of operation. Their phone was unreachable. So essentially, this is like an unprofessional business who would open the restaurant when they have time to cook the food or have leftovers from previous days, else they will be closed. Don’t go unless you talk to them first and confirm that they are open. But then, why go to a restaurant that is not serious about their own business? Who knows how they cook or how old is the food?

Disgusting food, smelled like it was few days old. Could not take second bite and the lady at the counter was not at all helpful. No wonder I was the only customer for all 30min that I spend there.

Delicious food, plenty of vegan options. I had the masala dosa with chutney and sambar, as well as a couple of samosas. Everything was wonderful, and came out fast.

Needs so much work. Served water instead of sambhar, God knows what was served in place of masala in the dosa (yellow smashed potatoes), chutney was neutral to taste, peanut garlic chutney was a good one, dosa was less than satisfactory and burnt. The concept of the restaurant seems pretty good but it is due for a major overhaul to fix the food and quality.

Food here is fresh and delicious. We ordered Veg Burger, Idli and Puri Bhaji. Only problem is portions are not big or filling but nonetheless they still taste great.

Friendly staff, clean place but the food was average. The dosas were small (which is ok) but was very oily and seems like they used frozen coconut chutney. We did go to the restroom at odd hours (4pm ish) so may be the chef was on break.

I could not recommend this restaurant enough! It was fast, quality, delicious, filling, affordable, and the customer service was absolutely fantastic! I worked in the theater in the shopping center and my cast and I loved coming here because everyone could eat. I hope to visit again soon!

Rava dosa and Chana bhatura were tasty options on the menu. Samosa is another good item on the list. Gobi paratha did not have enough filling, was pretty ok. Overall a good restaurant with a lot of food options to choose from.

Tried to go on a Sunday at 2pm. Their online hours say they should be open, and the hours on the door say they should be open too. The door was locked and the phone was disconnected. Its frustrating to go all the way to a restaurant for it to be closed when it says it’s supposed to be open. Unreliable
