  Bearing a striking resemblance to my family name, I had to explore this one and so I did on a Winter morning for breakfast. The place is located on Bhandarkar road, in a small lane after you cross Spring Onion and the line of shops, when coming from Good Luck chowk. The eatery has outdoor seating only with a small setup of tables and chairs. Menu is predominantly south indian but Maharashtrian breakfast items like Pohe, Khichadi and stuff like sandwiches, pav bhaji etc. are also available.It is a self-service place with orders taken by a very cute motherly lady who seems to be very welcoming and eager to chat if you start a conversation. I asked her about the origin of the name as my surname is Dharwadkar. She said the owners are Yavalgi family and hail from Dharwad and hence the name. We had poha, idli wada sambar and Mysore Masala Dosa. Poha dish was average, I have had better poha at many other places, idli wada was good, especially the medu wada was fresh and crisp. The red chutney in the Mysore masala dosa was an overdose of garlic but the dosa was huge and quite filling. Even the usual chutney sambar are not bad here. Filter coffee was just OK. This place is quite famous among the employees and students of nearby offices and colleges and judging by the reactions of the people sitting next to us, I am going there again to have the Aloo Paratha and Samosa and Wada pav. Dharwad Cafe is a simple affair. Tasty stuff at reasonable prices and if you like simple stuff made with love then this is one of the places you should eat at.
