⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fabulous South Indian Treat at Munch Café! I tried the Appam with curry and the Tamarind Rice, and both were absolutely fabulous! The appam was soft, fluffy, and perfectly made – just like the authentic ones you’d find in Kerala. The tamarind rice had the perfect balance of tangy and spicy flavours, comforting and delicious in every bite. The portions were generous, presentation was neat, and the taste was truly homely – it instantly reminded me of authentic South Indian cooking. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic South Indian flavours in Leeds. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes! 🌿🍛🥥

We called in the Munch Cafe on an evening and we were given the warmest welcome we've had from any food place. It is a lovely, cosy cafe, very well decorated with a nice atmosphere. The owners also made a point of remembering our names, and were more than happy to chat with us. The cheese dosa was delicious, and the service was superb. We love independent cafes, and this is now one of our favourites. We are new to South Indian cuisine, however the staff took their time to explain and recommend a dish to us. The prices are so reasonable too. Please try Munch Cafe, you will not be disappointed.

My first time trying munch and I will definitely will be coming back! Authentic South Indian food with a homely feel. We were able to customise the dosa, I highly recommend the podi masala and cheese dosa. The service was quick and the staff were friendly. The filter coffee was delicious too. Can’t wait to try more from the menu next time.
