10 Places For Best Perfect Filter Kaapi In Delhi NCR

A quaint little place opened up in 2025, Draavin Canteen (formerly Dakshin Canteen) is doing everything right when it comes to their well curated, yet somehow extensive South Indian menu. They've been going viral online for their filter coffee softie, but we keep going back for their mutton stew, Andhra chicken and flaky parottas! Other than their food, their beverage menu too is pretty good with their mocktails, and of course their filter kaapi stealing the show— something you must end your meal with.

Mahabelly has been around for a while and has become synonymous with the best South Indian food you could find in Delhi.

Wash it all down with their filter coffee and you'll be sorted.
