South Asian cuisine is suitable only for those who are genuine foodies and enjoy exploring different cuisines while respecting the culture behind the food. A friend suggested this place in Powai for our pseudo-official meet. It is set up at the reception area and has a typical airport-café vibe. The place is quite calm and serene. Despite it being the weekend, we managed to find it quite easily. Since this was my first time trying Vietnamese food, I let my friend (the host) take the lead and order on my behalf. Being a food enthusiast, he happily agreed. One of the best things about the café is its minimal and focused menu. We ordered a couple of Banh Mi (one with chicken ham and one with omelette and chicken), two coconut coffees (one iced, which is authentic, and one hot, which was customized), and one noodle dish (apologies for forgetting the name). The taste was exceptional—truly something to cherish. The food was satisfying without feeling heavy. The coconut coffee was a perfect blend of coconut and coffee; neither flavor overpowered the other. The bread of the Banh Mi had a unique taste, and combined with the fillings, it enhanced the overall texture and flavor. Having Banh Mi with coffee was a uniquely enjoyable experience. The best part? The experience felt incredibly light and uplifting. No food coma, just pure culinary joy. This wasn't just a meal; it was a fresh, exciting discovery that left me energized and already plotting my return. Overall experience: 5/5 Food & Beverages: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Note: I would suggest you to play some calm and peaceful music if possible as that would certainly elevate the overall experience

Super comforting meal, packed with amazing flavours. I only clicked the Vegan PHO because the chicken one my friend ordered looked exactly the same from the outside 🤷🏻‍♀️ But trust me, both were just chef’s kiss. We literally ended up drinking the spiced sauce served with the rolls… along with the peanut sauce and ordered for another bowl and that too a bigger one. No shame. It was THAT good 🤤🤤 We started with complimentary jasmine tea (RIP photo because I was too busy being present for once 🙈) and the PHO itself? Beautifully balanced. I even tried the sauces separately but didn’t dare mess with the broth..it was perfect as is. And then… the grand finale - Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu. Hands down the BEST tiramisu I’ve ever had. We seriously considered ordering another one but our stomachs chose peace over greed 😑 I’m definitely going back here very very soon ❤️

Honestly a brilliant cozy cafe with amazing food and great service. it's as authentic as it gets. I have tried Vietnamese food in a few other places to be utterly disappointed. but this place is different I really loved the food. I went on a sat evening to my surprise very few people were there. if this place was in bandra or andheri I am sure you won't get a place to sit. The PHO was killer and Bánh mì was pretty good. definitely a must try place for foodies

I was a fan of this place when they had a supper club and continue to be a fan of this place now that they have this restaurant! The food quality has only got better. Everything is fresh and clean and even more so very very tasty. everytime I go or order in, it feels like a mini feast and a short holiday to Vietnam

The place is a 10/10. Ordered the pho and bahn mi and it tasted amazing. The Vietnamese iced coffee was extremely rich and delicious. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. Would definitely visit again

LOVED the pork Banh mi! So flavourful! Even the Saigon special banh mi, chicken pho and iced tea were so good. So glad I randomly found this place on Google. Recommending it to all my family and friends.

Tried the food first through the supper club and then once they moved to Powai. It’s so fresh and authentic. The banh mi and Vietnamese coffee are my favourites. Must try
