Visited the newly opened Narikelam Cafe in Kharadi and had such a good experience! We tried the Mysore Masala Dosa and Ghee Roasted Podi Idli — both were super tasty. The dosa was nice and crisp, and the podi idlis had that perfect ghee and spice combo. You can tell the food is made with love. The ambience is warm and welcoming — clean, minimal, and peaceful. Service was smooth and polite. A big shoutout and best wishes to Sharvari, the owner, for creating such a lovely space. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

Authentic south Indian food. I tried most dosas with friends. Podi dosa, pineapple shira, and filter coffee were very good. As this is a franchise and newly opened, request the owner to keep the same hygiene and quality for long run. As an improvement, ventilation and seating can be given relook as there is scope of improvement. Chutney and sambar can be benchmark with Ghatti chutney and FOM nearby.

I recently visited Narikelam, a South Indian café nestled in the prime locality of Kharadi, Pune. Ambience and Setting: The café has a refreshing aesthetic, blending minimalist interiors with a few well-placed plants that add to its relaxed vibe. Service: While the staff was courteous, the service was slightly delayed. We tried their Udid Vada and Dip Vada (classic vada-sambar). We especially enjoyed the sambar, which had that homely, tangy, and spicy flavour you'd expect from a traditional South Indian kitchen. Their filter coffee is a must-try—strong, aromatic, and served the traditional way. Pricing: The food was reasonably priced and hygienically prepared. Overall Experience: Pros: • The café was clean and well-maintained. • It offers both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a versatile spot—perfect for a quiet solo breakfast or catching up with friends. • No parking issues. Cons: • The café is not air-conditioned. • The service took a little longer than expected. • Due to its proximity to the Mula-Mutha River, there was a mosquito issue. (If you plan to dine in the evening, carrying mosquito repellent is advisable.) Recommendation: Overall, Narikelam offers a delicious escape into South Indian cuisine in a cosy, thoughtfully designed space. With just a bit of attention to the mosquito situation, it could easily become a local favourite.

A go to place in my vicinity for Good old South Indian traditional taste.... We tried the 4ft long dosa ...which was crisp, with some delectable podi and aloo masala and some sambar n chutney to adorn as sides... One word...Foodgasmed .... The Tatte idli stands out to be my personal favourite with the ghee and podi masala lying cosy on the pillowy soft tatte idli ... Emanating the finest flavours and reminding you of Southern delicacies in all possible ways.... The kothimbir Vadi came out as a pleasant surprise ... Crispy inside and the medley of softness flavours and perfection inside....super yummilicious...u can't stop at one...n a fine parcel made of that as well to carry back goodness home.... Must say the packaging is great too...neat and hygienic ... important these days !! Bissebelle bhath followed ...reminding you of the simplicity of Southern cuisine ...where bissebelle is pure love and healthy food option...loved it totally Pineapple Sheera was done right but could hv been more ghee infused and hotter....to percolate the taste buds n sing a medley to the heart.. N how can the Southern Adventure end without a good filter coffee... It was a gud take on the coffee but could hv been a Lil more stronger ...my kinda u see... In gamut ...Narikelam Cafe at Kharadi does its best to serve you good food ... Service is impeccable with smiling faces and the owner Sharvari looking for feedback to serve you better and even better next time ... M a happy soul ...still Foodgasmed over the love served .... Afterall aint life all about eat ...pray...love....

Had a wonderful dining experience at the Narikelam Cafe serving authentic South Indian food. We tried Ghee Roast Podi Idli, Podi Thatte Idli, Sabudana Vada, Piyush drink and Filter coffee. Their idli are just super soft and fresh. Sambar and nariyal chutney is also tasty. Ambience and seating space is well structured. Service is decently quick and staff is welcoming. Prices are pocket friendly. Only one point for consideration-Filter coffee can be improved a bit.
