This is not the best but good cafe inside IIT Madras campus. You will get limited food items only in lunch time (mostly south indian). But you can chill out with your friends or colleagues and discuss some work over a cup of tea.

Self service canteen with space of around 100 persons can use at a time. Food prices are cheap.Meals provided at a cost of Rs.35 will be affordable for students who stayed there.Bike parking is available near the entrance. They also accept both cash and UPI payments.

Cheap food for iit students and staffs. But food quality is poor, place is unhygienic and sometimes you can find cockroach in food. Staffs are rude.

Food is Simply Super! And the cost is very & highly reliable when compared with other cafes of IIT- Madras. The quality and quantity is pretty good, & I can say its the best cafe of IIT-Madras!!

Evening tiffin at this spacious cafe was a satisfactory experience. The lower level is the go to place for a quick bite on the go, especially if one feels peckish between lectures. All the usual tiffin items are available: mini idli, vadai and bonda and dosai and oothappam to be washed down with hot tea and strong filter coffee. The menu keeps changing daily. Everything is freshly cooked and served hot. And the best thing about the whole thing was the pocket friendly price. The same items would cost 3 times more!! On the upper floor is the food court which was a bit of a disappointment. There is variety of a certain sort: Tibetan, Chinese and both North and South Indian and Italian, but only in name. Although the items sounded foreign the taste was not authentic and most of the items are pre cooked and merely heated up and served. The price was certainly not value for money. So, if you plan on visiting this place stick to the lower level.

Review №29

Affordable price. A wide range of menu to choose from. And food items are constantly changed and new menu is implemented, which makes this campus cafe not boring as other campus canteens. Friendly and energetic staff. A lot of room for evening tea gatherings. Worth a try.

In the ground floor, you have the regular mess where you get breakfast items like dosa, poori idli,and rice varieties like fried rice, biryani, thali, sambar rice, etc. but its all vegetarian food (self-service) . You also get tea, coffee. On the first floor, you have different eateries, including wow momos, woss subs, Italian bay etc. Its a good place to hangout with friends.

Good variety. Cheap, healthy meals. Adequately clean place. The onion samosa is beautifully crisp and worth a try. However, the menu on Sundays does not have a lot to offer. Also, samosas are not available during tea time.

Very economic for institute students, staff and faculty alike.Place is hygienic as well, with quality food being served.Only con being that there is a huge queue most of the times. That deters me from going there. Else, its a really good dining spot.

Its closed during late hours in the evening. No popular food chains. Just local franchisees. Taste is good. Cant complain about the hygiene.

Review №51

Having moved to newly constructed premises, hygiene surely has improved. Food is affordable and remains the cheapest in the campus. Food quality is good if not great, and both quantity and quality match the price. The place is spacious and there can be a wait, though for not more than a minute or two.Four stars for quality and price.

Ka
Review №52

Nice place to get cheap food.Not recommended during lunch time as there will be a sea of customers there and only limited food. So if you go after 1 pm or so, most of the food (especially papads, vadas and other sides) would have been finished, and youll have to just eat rice only.Other than that, the place is good.We have retail shops in the first floor which serve fast food and Indian food as well, but that is a bit expensive.

Good dining spot in IIT Madras campus. Price is reasonable (subsidised i guess). Only difficulty that i feel is it has recently brought many non veg. items (esp. like fish fry which can smells). Being a vegetarian, i find it hard to dine there for lunch. Breakfast and dinner, its good to have.

Campus cafe consists of two floors.Ground floor: there is only one vendor we can get tea/coffee, South Indian Veg food at reasonable rates.First floor: here, there are shops for shake, juices, Momos, salad, south indian food, burger, sandwitch etc. It is a bit costly

Review №97

All the universities have a square where people sit around and spend time. Iit Madras untill recently was missing that square. With the addition of campus Cafe and the new academic building, it has over come that problem. The campus Cafe is the most economical option for quick bites from mrng till evening 7pm. The variety of choice is huge and the items are of good quality. The only thing that can be improved is cleaning.
