Walked in on a drizzly evening to the clink of steel tumblers and the hiss from the dosa tawa. No theatrics here—just a fast, old-city canteen rhythm. The dosa came thin with lacey edges, the sambar leaned peppery instead of sweet, and the coconut chutney tasted like it was ground an hour ago. Idlis were cloud-soft; a quick vada arrived crisp without the oil hangover. Coffee had that deep roasty aroma you only get from a strong decoction. Tables turn quickly, runners actually notice when your chutney dips low, and payment is painless (UPI worked). It does get shoulder-to-shoulder at peak time and parking in the lane is a little circus, but the team keeps things moving with good cheer. If you’re timing a visit, slip in just before the rush—around 9 am or after 8:15 pm—and order a plain dosa with a side of mini idlis. Eat hot, don’t overthink it, and step back into the Trichy bustle feeling a little lighter. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: ₹200–400 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
Coffee Palace was one of the highlights of my visit to Thanjavur. They serve amazing South Indian filter coffee (the best I had during my trip). The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the place has a simple, down-to-earth charm that makes you feel at home. I enjoyed both breakfast and dinner here during my visit. Rava dosa was delicious!

I really loved this place — it has the charm of an old Tamil-style house, which makes the atmosphere warm and nostalgic. The food is superb and the service is friendly and quick. I ordered masala dosa, plain dosa, vada, and filter coffee. Honestly, the food was so tasty that I ended up drinking 3 filter coffees and having 2 vadas along with the dosas. The dosa was crisp, the chutneys were fresh, and the sambar had that perfect authentic flavor. It’s a simple, no-fancy place, but that’s what makes it special. I don’t know, but I really liked this place — maybe you will love it too Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
