Bharat Cafe

Clean and spacious Udupi Restaurant serving tasty food at a reasonable price. It also serves North Indian cuisine, though I have not tasted it. We had South Indian food which was very good. Sandwiches being served looked good too. Clean, Tasty and Value for Money.

Bharat Cafe is a longstanding, pure-vegetarian eatery located in Madgaon (Margao), Goa. It has been around since the mid-1930s (founded by Subraya Shetti) and is frequently praised for its simplicity, affordability, nostalgic feel, and vegetarian/South Indian offerings. What's Good Authenticity & Legacy Because it has been around for decades, Bharat Cafe offers an ambience that many describe as "old-school", "quaint", "historic", or "charming". It seems to have retained some of that character rather than being overly modernized. Vegetarian & South Indian Menu With a pure-veg angle, the menu features staples such as idli, dosa, vada, sambar, filter coffee, pao / buns, pav bhaji, etc. People like that there is good variety, yet the food stays simple and close to "comfort food" territory. Value for Money Many reviews mention that the pricing is very reasonable. Portion sizes are considered fair, and for vegetarian or breakfast/snack options, folks seem generally satisfied that what they pay is worth what they get. Location & Timing It opens early (around 7 AM) and stays open until about 10 PM. Its location on a main road in Madgaon makes it accessible, especially for people in or near the Margao market area. Cleanliness & Service Generally, visitors comment that the place is clean and the staff is friendly. The service is decent, especially for what it is (a casual, simple cafe) rather than upscale dining.

Ordered few snack items and all of them disappointed. Idli was okay but chutney had no taste. Vada pav was okayish but again pav was too tough. Ordered banana milkshake, cold coffee both of them didn't match up to the expectations as oer the price. Chocolate icecream was also mid. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!

Bharat Cafe is located on the main road in Mudgaon, on the NH 66, a bustling route that makes parking a bit challenging, especially for four-wheelers. Bharat Cafe has an old-school charm and offers a simple yet wholesome menu that attracts regular patrons. It's a popular restaurant in the neighbourhood of Madgaon offering authentic veg food at an affordable price. Dinner service is after 7 pm, and lunch is after noon. Do drop in for its buns, filter coffee, pao bhaji and zeera alu.

I visited Bharat Cafe in Margao with moderate expectations, and my experience was a bit average. The cafe has a quaint, old-school charm that's pleasant, but the food and service were just okay. The service was friendly, but a bit slow. It serves south indian food rather than Goan cosine which was a great point of disappointment for me. Overall, Bharat Cafe is an average eatery that's worth visiting if you're in the area, but it's not a must-visit destination. Prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is pleasant, but the food and service could be improved.
