Before going Malar poojai at temple, me and my friend decided to try the coffee and tea here. Well, it was delightful. We didn’t try any food, apparently they have breakfast, lunch and Tiffany, like sambar idly, briyani and bun butter jam. Do take note it’s a standing concept hence be mindful if you are carrying children with you. Other than that, you can try out their delicious drinks !

Located in front Galleria Kota Raya, same row with Gurdwara. Typically feel like "Kaiyenthi Bhavan" style. Collect and eat while standing. Options are tiffin, Bhaji, tea, coffee and Snacks. Food taste good. Place easily get crowded and stands little limited. Parking can be tricky and if u don't get a strategic parking suggest to park at Galleria or nearby paid parking as the area prone for towing. Price slightly above reasonable but worth the taste.

The food was amazing, tasty. The chai also super delicious. Reasonable price for the quantity and food. I ate mini idli, vazhakka bajji and chai. All were delicious. Plus all foods are vegetarian. Really loved the service. Very attentive. A must try place. Highly recommended.

Cool different feeling. Lot of people come to buy food and drink their tea. Not bad taste for coffee Hmm pricing wise a bit expensive probably because typical mentality sporran crossing border can pay so make it ex sad story. Carpark: weekend die ready no space good luck in finding space.

Stopped by to try the Chai tea. Ordered the masala chai which was really good. Could taste a medley of spices infused into the tea. Did not try any of the food but the food was flying off the counter with the rest of the crowd. Nice atmosphere and can get quite crowded quickly. Will be back.
