"Mysore Cafe is an absolute gem for South Indian cuisine lovers. From the moment I walked in, the aromas transported me back home. I savored their lemon rice, a delightful blend of tanginess and traditional spices, paired perfectly with a steaming cup of Chikmagalur coffee," she wrote in the caption.
Talking about the ambience, Shwetha described it as "warm and inviting".
"The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy authentic flavors," she further added.

We are a small cafe where you can enjoy such South Indian home-cooked food and drinks.
We want you to spend a relaxing and quiet time even just a moment. That is our wish.
