About Filter Coffee

Filter coffee is strong South Indian coffee, brewed slowly in a metal filter and mixed with hot, frothy milk and sugar. It is usually made with a blend of coffee and chicory.

Regional versions

It is served in a small steel tumbler set inside a wide bowl called a dabarah. The coffee is poured between the two to cool it and build froth.

What to order with it

Have it after a dosa or idli breakfast. Many South Indian restaurants keep it going all day.

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.

Missing a place, a dish or a closure? Tell us and we will fix it.
