4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 March 2012

No room on the rooftop, and no way to get more chairs or tables up there. Service rather slow. But it seemed more a place to while away some time than to get quickly in and out. I was fascinated by view of a woman sewing on a treadle machine in her courtyard across the street while a young goat... More

We spent 4 days in Orchha, I went to Didi's at least once a day, probably averaging at 2.5 visits per day! Everything I had was winning, especially the lemon tart and a big mug of chai. Didi herself is a lovely lady, very helpful when it comes to advice re Orchha but also happy to have a chat about... More

Very relaxed and inviting atmosphere at Didi's, we ate there 3 times while we were in Orchha. The food is fresh and delicious - a perfect spot in the morning sunshine for breakfast and good conversation. And I have to add perfect scrambled eggs and filter coffee! More

This is the kind of place you can not miss in Orchha! We discovered it after a few days and it became our only and favorite place for breakfast every morning. The cheese and tomato omelette (35Rs!!!) is just brilliant and cooked to perfection. The kitchen is REALLY clean, which is a change from indian standards. The pies are also... More

I spent two nights in Orchha, a fabulous place, and ended up going to Didi's cafe about four times... for the lovely coffee, the cakes, including the banoffi pie.. (but you only get what's been freshly made, so don't grumble if you have to settle for delicious lemon tarts etc), and the travel tips from the ever-helpful Didi. The reviewer... More

It was just like any other dingy, uninspiring place we ate at. It was cheap and the food was fine but I had high expectations as it is half owned by a Westerner. The furniture was yukky, not eclectic cool but just daggy. Didn’t even have the Banoffie Pie available and when we asked what was available we got blank... More

I'm sorry you were disappointed by your visit to our cafe. We have never claimed to be a modern 'Western' style cafe - we just try to offer well-cooked food in a friendly environment. Fortunately, what we offer suits the majority of our customers - perhaps you were expecting something a little more Western? Indian friends ran the cafe when... More
