Unaav - The Dakshin Cafe
The menu primarily features an array of ghee dosas — each exquisitely fluffy without the use of oil, allowing the richness of the desi ghee to shine through. Dishes like the Masala Dosa and Podi Idli are crowd favorites, richly complemented by their exceptional sambar. While the taste is generally mild, it caters well to a broad audience, though some patrons wished for a bit more spice, particularly in the podi idli.
While the offerings predominantly highlight staples like idlis and vadas, there's an underlying hope among customers for expanded menu options that truly capture the diverse Southern fare, such as appam or payasam. Nonetheless, the overall feedback is positive, with many raving about the restaurant's ability to deliver fresh, flavorful dishes.
With all that in mind, Unaav seems like a refreshing addition to the local food scene—worth a visit for its comforting vibes and scrumptious offerings.

Reviews for Unaav - The Dakshin Cafe (Paschim Vihar)
Review highlights
Based on 283 reviewsUnaav - The Dakshin Cafe in Paschim Vihar is widely appreciated for its authentic South Indian cuisine, notably the dosa varieties, idlis, and flavorful sambar. Reviewers commonly highlight the food's freshness, balanced flavors, and generous use of ghee, contributing to a rich and satisfying dining experience. The café's ambiance is described as relaxed and inviting, making it ideal for family and group visits. While portions, such as dosa sizes, receive some critique for being smaller than expected, the overall food quality remains a strong point. Some feedback suggests minor improvements in sambar flavor and concerns over extra packing charges, but these do not overshadow the positive consensus around taste and hospitality at this cozy South Indian eatery.
Great food and good ambience, a must try outlet for south indian food in paschim vihar
Recently visited this amazing south indian cafe which has very relaxing and cool ambience with amazing food, tried their variety of dosas which were vry crispy and fluffly, their mini vadas and dahi vada, everything here was so tasty. Must try this place with your frnds and family if you are also looking for a place which serves one of the best south indian food in delhi.
Tried this new place for dinner with family. The food is definitely amazing. We tried rava dosa, idli chaat, ghee podi idli, dal vada & onion uttapam. This covered almost the entire bit of the menu. Generous amount of ghee wherever it is says so. I loved the sambar. Food was non spicy although podi idli can be bit spicy but it wasn’t. Now this place calls its Dakshin (Southern) cafe & the menu was tad bit disappointing. I was hoping more “Dakshin” options than standard idli, Vada & dosa. There are some amazing dishes that you savour from Southern part of India like appam, stew, poriyal, payasam etc.. There already restaurants who sell these standard South Indian dishes. Since it’s new hoping they are already working on expanding their menu :) All the very best to the team.
Small but very nice place. Food is good. Dosa size is little small. Idli is very good. They charge extra for packing which i did not like. Sambhar taste is ok can be made better.
Very refreshing and tasty food, people should really visit this place. I'm coming here for the second time, and the quality of food is amazing.
