The weather has finally turned chilly and rainy, making it the perfect time for something warm, light, and comforting. If you're in Ahmedabad and craving some soul-satisfying South Indian food for brunch or even a late-night snack, you’re probably wondering where to go.

Well, look no further than the newly opened Cafe Padmanabham in Vastrapur. This cafe, which opens early in the morning and stays open until late at night, has quickly become a new local favourite for its delicious offerings. The speciality? Dosas, vadas, and uttapams made with ghee and a touch of Kerela!

The owner, hailing from Kerala, wanted to bring a taste of his home state to Ahmedabad, but tailored to the local palate. The head chef is also from Kerala, ensuring that the food retains that genuine flavour. When we spoke with them, they shared that the coconut used in the chutney, the ghee podi masala, and even the rice are sourced directly from Kerala.

You must try Padmanabham's Mysore Plain Dosa, Mysore Masala Dosa, Medu Vada, Uttapam Veg, and Rava Kesari. All the dishes here, prepared with ghee, offer a rich and comforting taste that is sure to satisfy!

Cafe Padmanabham is modest, hygienic, and reasonably priced, making it an ideal spot for a satisfying South Indian meal any time of the day in Ahmedabad!
