    Really nice cafe/shop/restaurant/garden! Friendly staff; really nice calm atmosphere hidden in a garden away from all the rush and traffic of the city. Excellent food!

    My favourite place to hang out with friends and family.Their food is delicious and they have the perfect ambience to eat it in.Go up to their boutique after lunch and indulge in some retail therapy.

    Given rebirth by owner Kiran Rao, closer to Madras's core business district, this is a top end cafe serving finely crafted food. You can sit here for hours because of the surrounding lush garden.

    Love this place and its surroundings... Limited seating indoors and outdoor seating is perfect for evenings. Iced lemon tea is spot on here... :)

    USP of this place is its ambience. Excellent place for someone looking for peace and serenity in heart of city. Hot drinks are good tried hot choc and quite liked it. Will visit this place again.

    Very well recreated. Ideal for a lazy lunch or dinner. Remember to reach early for dinner last order by 9:15 pm. Portions are not big price is. But then the ambience is free.

    There's indoor seating if it's too sunny or is raining or there's mosquitoes!

    Best place to hang out with friends, esp. if you have a girlfriend... And for soup boys, a nice place to chat n kill time, with low budget.

    The tea was a Unilever brand and was terrible. Lots of mosquitoes. Lovely ambience though. We didn't eat there - it didn't strike us as a particularly veggie-friendly destination.

    avoid the waffles if you're a pure vegetarian as it has a huge odor of EGG in it.
