A little cafe tucked in Kharghar near the iconic iskon temple and Central Park. We honestly went there thinking “it’s just another cafe” but we were seriously impressed . The ambience and the decor wowed us . We were greeted to some soulful and mind blowing live music! As for the food, we ordered the som tam salad, pot rice, ramen and pan seared tawas with kairi chutney. The som tam was sweet, spicy and addictive and immediately transported us to the by lanes of phuket. The pot rice, ramen and rawas was also mind blowing . They do have a winner with the kairi chutney. Service was polite, quick and impeccable . We really didn’t know we had such a wonderful place in our own backyard ! We have found out favourite place now and will surely be going back

Awesome place, good vibes!!! Haf the Som Tam salad, tranported us back to the taste we experienced on our trip to Phuket. The other orders i.e. the Basil Pot Rice, Korean Ramen, and the pan Seared Rawas in mango sauce, were also wonderfully made. To top it all, the live music (only Saturday's) make it a very satisfying evening. tlThoroughly enjoyed. Will go back.

Food was awesome. Upscale ambience, staff is super cool and supportive. Menu is not too huge but very well curated. We had dinner, veg portions were awesome.

I visited this place 4 months ago, but now everything about this place has declined. The food, the service and the ambience. The veggies along with the grilled chicken was stale. Even the online menu is not user friendly. It's expensive baselessly. I hope the standard could be improved.

Our fun filled Birthday Celebration was Ruined Due to Serious Hygiene Issue by this Cafe which we thought would be good as it was opened recently. This visit was extremely disappointing and has left a very bad experience, as it was meant to be a birthday treat. We were served tacos that were stale and had visible black fungus/mold, which is completely unacceptable and unsafe. My friend took a bite of it and that’s when my other friend thankfully saw it as it was a black fungus and we were totally shocked to see all the 4 tacos which were served were equally bad. We are indeed thanking our stars that we didn’t consume it which would be totally hazardous to our health. The chef did acknowledge that the food was stale and over the top accepting that it was JUST 2-3DAYS OLD (ARE YOU SERIOUS???) and was apologetic. Don’t you check what you are serving to the customers who blindly eat thinking it’s safe??? NOT ACCEPTED AT ALL Such a serious lapse in food safety should never happen—especially when serving customers in a restaurant setting. In our many outings like these never has this happened and hence it’s horrifying. My friend spoke to one of the owner who only had words of apology , The management had to keep regular checks on what’s going on rather than sit cosily elsewhere. The experience ruined the celebration and left us uncomfortable for the rest of us to even continue having the rest of the grub. An apology cannot undo the health concern. I sincerely hope the management takes strict corrective measures. Until then, I cannot recommend this place. I will be reporting this to the FSSAI. The inventory has to be checked before serving to customers and the Chef has to be detailed before serving food to customers.

This place is a serious health hazard. We were served tacos with clearly visible black mold—one of my friends had already bitten into it before we noticed. All the tacos were stale and unfit for human consumption. The chef admitted the food was old, which itself is shocking. When we spoke to the owner, her response was that “maybe the chef didn’t notice”. That excuse is unacceptable and terrifying. Not noticing moldy food is not an oversight—it is gross negligence. This shows a complete lack of hygiene standards, supervision, and accountability. Such carelessness could have caused severe health consequences. Apologies are meaningless when customers are being served contaminated food. Our celebration was completely ruined . I strongly warn others to avoid this place unless they want to risk their health.
