The food was really good — especially the smoked chicken thigh, which was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. The owner was incredibly sweet and welcoming. The ambience is lovely, filled with plants all around, giving the place a calm and refreshing vibe. Service was top-notch throughout.

Our first cafe hopping in Mysore, and stumbled upon this lowkey GEM. Very laidback vibe, quiet and classy customers. The burger was absolutely mind-blowing — the owner, Mr. Roy himself, told us the chicken is smoked for ~6 hours. Highly recommended spot!

Really nice cafe to visit. Food and ambience are great. There's a cute doggo too, if you love dogs. There are games available for playing while you wait for your food. Nice rooftop seating.

The food is not only aesthetically pleasing but also flavorful and delicious. The atmosphere is peaceful and staff is polite. It has two sitting areas, one in the garden area and the other upstairs, both have different menus.

Great restaurant in Gokulam with solid non-vegetarian options. I loved the lamb chops! The setting is great and the staff very friendly. A top spot for us in town.

Roy's Cafe is a beautiful restaurant. It's chill and mellow, perfect for layback hangouts and even good for work/studying. Their menu is quite simple but each item is worth trying! Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options available.

The food was tasty and the service was good. Very spacious with multiple seating locations. Plants and pots decorated at most places. It's a quiet and relaxing space. Pet friendly as well.

Roys Cafe may look a bit dated from the outside, but don't let that fool you — the food here is outstanding! One of the best virgin mojitos, top-notch coffee, and incredibly delicious pasta. Prices are very reasonable, making it a great value.

One of the best places to eat in Mysore, I can truly recommend it. The continental food was amazing. The place is really cute, you can spend time with friends or read one of their books. The staff is really kind. I can't wait to come back.
