Recently visited Tatva and really enjoyed the food and ambience. Ordered Masala dosa, Vada and podi Idli. It was delicious and authentic, the dosa especially was so crispy (as I had requested). The chutney served with these dishes were the highlight, every single ingredient in everything was fresh and carefully prepared.

I also tried the dates dry fruit laddu which was the show stopper. Would definitely recommend to stop here and try out the food.

Disappointing …
I ordered chole puri , aloo curry and chai.
I am very disappointed with the quality and taste of the food.
Chole puri curry was watery with no flavor and the Irani chai was completely tasteless.
Moreover I didn’t get aloo curry at all.
This was ordered on 6th Oct 2025.
I spend $35 on this tasteless food instead I could have bought good veg biryani from other restaurants.
It was online order.

Not worth the price. 12 to 15 count for $7.77. Punugulu are not tasting good. Small hard balls Poha vada-small vadas 5 for $7.77. Tirupati has bigger better vadas each for a dollar

Update: Went on a Thursday to check the dosa deal. The dosas are miniature. We make bigger dosa on a pan at home. Still acceptable. The girl served ICE COLD sambhar. When asked that serve it that way her reply was “lot of customers so could not warm it”
Another customer heard the conversation and acknowledged that it is ice cold. Same preparation has different name when served with dosa and poori. The masala in dosa is called Koorma when served with poori. There is a ton of salt in it. NEVER EVER AGAIN.

I’ve visited Tatva Cafe a few times for evening snacks, and each time has been a great experience. Their authentic special dishes really stand out, and the flavors feel fresh and well-prepared. I especially recommend trying their sweets and dosa — both are absolutely worth it! A wonderful spot if you’re looking for quality food with a traditional touch.

recently visited this restaurant and ordered the rice combo. The quantity, taste, and overall quality of the food were excellent. Everything was delicious and very affordable compared to other places in the St. Louis area.
We also tried the ghee karam idly, which is one of their special dishes, and it was absolutely amazing. Definitely a must-try. Overall, a great dining experience and highly recommended!

We stopped by this new place — overall, the experience was good! We tried the Irani chai, papdi chaat, and dahi puri. The Irani chai was authentic and the papdi chaat tasted great. The dahi puri also had good flavor, but the only issue was that the puris got soggy quickly due to the curd. It would be better if they stuffed the puris first and added the curd separately when serving, or offered the curd on the side for us to add ourselves. Overall, it was a nice visit and we look forward to coming back to try more dishes!

They have really improved their quality and service. In love with the crisp dosa and vadas. Thallis are good options as well. They can include couple of extra items based on what they show in the screen. Price point is reasonable. Sweets can be improved further I think but overall we enjoy going here every now and then to sort our cravings for closest to Bengaluru style dosa.

Overall its a decent experience. Loved the curries in the Thali. It tasted like homemade.

Felt like they could have served their best sweets in thali, but they did other way. Served their worst one I guess. Not to criticize but felt like it.

Very nice small-scale vegetarian restaurant. Dosa was great, and so was the chat. Just wish that with their growth, they switch to steel plates and utensils that way, you really get to enjoy the food.

Heard about this new veg place – Tatva Cafe in Ellisville and we were excited to try it! Especially because they seem to have chaats and a thali, beyond the usual dosas etc. Very pleased!

Thali was banging. The best bits were the thick daal and the chhole. Thoughtfully placed items including the achar and barfi.

Idli was fluffy and nice. The lemongrass-type chutney was novel to me.

Dosa – the sambar was not as thick and lush as I personally like, and the dosa was not as thin/crispy as the Curry Club in Chesterfield. But I later came to learn this is their specific style. Paper dosa would be an entirely different dish.

Pani puri – so hard to get it perfect especially if they’re doing it full Gujarati style. This was a simpler style. Pani seemed fresh and good.

There’s no question that we’re coming back. Next time we’ll attack the chaat-type dishes and I was stuffed so got a pau bhaji takeout.

The wooden spoons were eco and a good idea, but not deep enough to hold much. A tiny thing but it adds up. Larger paper napkins would be good too.

For a bit of context we are from London, and nowhere matches the quality of Gujarati food in NW London. We came to STL a decade ago to launch our workflow app – Tallyfy. So relative to great places in London it’s obviously not a fair comparison.

But this place fills a large gap in the Guj/chaat restaurant category in St. Louis.
