This place has been here forever. I remember going here 30 years ago. You get that warm feeling when getting into one of these places, like the Palmgrove or Ashoka or Savera. The feeling of stepping into another era where you didnt have to know english or hindi to order south indian food. It is one of those places where you can ask 'what is available now?' and instead of pointing you to a menu card, the waiter will actually tell you everything that is available. It is one of those old style places where you'd see a 70 year old uncle who stopped by just to have a coffee. The interiors have been modernized long since what it used to be, but the taste is very familiar. If you are in the vicinity, and are looking for a proper south indian veg fare that used to be so common when Saravana Bhavan was its peak, step into Doveton Cafe. Especially for their evening snacks, from thayir vada, to bajjis, to vadacurry and more. It is an economical place where you'd be happy to pay more for the old school service and the home style taste. Go for it.

This is the oldest and probably the best veg restaurant in Chennai, they served authentic south food, ordered special thali price was around 120 rupees,they served almost most of south indian dishes in this thali,this thali is enough for 2 people,if you are live in Chennai or a visitor in Chennai and want to taste authentic south indian food than this restaurant is must try.

Been here for lunch and dinner many times and they've never compromised on the quality of the food or their service even at the busiest hours. The AC seating is super comfortable and very clean as well.

Doveton Cafe Hotel is an evergreen Hotel, we always prefer to have our food there only, we go there from our grandfather's time, I think more than 60 to 70 years if I am not wrong.

We visited Doveton Cafe in Purasaiwakkam and ordered below items. 1) Parotta served with Onion Raitha,Vegetable kuruma and Veg chops. 2) Rava Dosai served with Sambhar,Coconut chutney,Kara Chutney and Pudina chutney. Parotta was excellent and the layers in parotta was coming one by one and tasted superb with the side dishes, it was crispy and fresh. Rava Dosai was crispy and went very well with Sambhar and coconut chutney. Parotta is an must try dish here.Doveton Cafe is an old restaurant in Purasaiwakkam and still maintains the taste. Live to Eat! Happy Dining!

The 3 star is for the cleaniness . The restaurant was clean. The service was okay. Ordered tomato rice which was okay. A pelasant thing was it had cashews. We also ordered a special vada. Special vada had nothing special except for the size which was very big. Not hot, not good. You can expect hygiene here but not taste.
