qissa cafe

qissa is the new kashi offortcochin, nice ambience n decor. good service, the staff are friendly and the chocolate cake gets better each time, the keema toast is a must try, it's something different and tasty. but at the end the cake is what is going to be your favourite.

it was infact a really humid sunday evening that we planned a walk aroundfortkochi and ended up in qissa café for the beauty, serenity and ofcourse it's chocolate cake it offers.

just like any other mainstream restaurant/cafe in the area, they too have a real variety of breakfasts / pastas tailored for the various ethnicities that cross kochi on a daily basis.

the seatings are outside the cafe which is a smoker's area essentially and on the inside awaits a beauty array of succulents and hand picked antiques & decorations from ikea dubai.

since it was around the mid afternoon time and we were curious & hunting for the special -- the chocolate cake.

it's available throughout the day and is a must try. i ordered a masala chai as well to go with this 😅 and my friend an americano from the coffee options.

the chocolate 🍰 as i have already mentioned is a complete 5 on 5 and masala tea and americano would be 3.5/5 in my view.

a place of real improvement in my view would be the customer servicing. after having a lunch at arippa in palarivattam and then visiting qissa later in the noon as a lot of friends have spoken very high of its chocolate cake, i felt the slackness in servicing as an area they can work on.

that said, i plan to visit this beautiful place once again to try out their other famous delicacies soon :")

the ambience is a real beaut & an undoubtedly awesome pick for a date :')

this is the most overhyped place you can find infortkochi. horrible service, terrible food and noisy like a fish market ! me and my sister went to the cafe yesterday as it was rated highly. there was no waiter, we were confused if we are supposed to go to the counter to place our order. after a while a guy came , who unwillingly took our order after that every time i needed something i had to go the counter and tell them. the food came which was terrible , we order a pasta and sanwich. pasta was so sour and sandwich was bland tasteless. if that was not enough, a group of women came inside and then the staff enagaged in such noisy conversation with them that it felt like fish market !
all in all .. very bad service and bad food. don’t ever go there will be my recommendation, rather have street food if you want noisy atmosphere. worthless ! waste of money !

qissa is by far my least favourite cafe in all offortkochi. not because of the ambience (ambience and setting are nice), but because of the uninspiring food. we ordered a lasagna; which was served to us in the most amateur way and didn't taste great at all. but what shocked me the most is for 400 bucks, the lasagna was not accompanied with garlic bread (which is served with omelettes we heard but not with lasagnas!); that really disappointed me. next was the sausage sandwich; my 3 year old nephew can make a better sandwich than the one given (see pic). i mean like seriously, there was no effort put into making the sandwich; absolutely unexpected. moving on, we were told the cake of the day was a lemon cheesecake. the cake brought to us was not a lemon cheesecake, it was just a lemon cake; they don't even know what a cheesecake is! even the lime soda was below average. puft. considering the price on the bill, this was not worth it at all. if you're someone who craves good food, this isn't the place for you. i left famished; and that's a sad thing.

qissa cafe infortkochi is one of the top 5 cafes in kochi

located in the 18 hotel, the interiors are warm and welcoming.

the menu is simple yet top notch.

their lasagne is excellent and a personal favorite.

they have a varied selection of teas and coffees and are made really well. their desserts are scrumptious and the toffee and banana pie is outstanding.

service is a bit laid back, but so is everything else infortkochi.

qissa has a great view of the street and is wonderful to sit and watch the world go by or to just watch the rain.

they have a small outside garden seating area as well if the mosquitoes don’t bother you.

two thumbs up.

awesome place, sooo green, the food was too yummy and fulfilling. best - avacado and egg toast! beautiful sitting outside with a cosy feeling. we spent three hours at this cafe!! one our eating and two hours clicking photos.. against the beautiful backdrop of greenery. must visit place infortkochi!!

a not very famous yet the best cafe infortkochi. i loved the way how the food here felt soo fresh and made just for you. i’ll make sure to eat their beef cheese burger and juices every time i visitfortkochi.

a really nice and cosy cafe infortkochi. it also has a very cute and pretty outdoor setting. the staff is very polite and kind. i personally think that since there was a language barrier and also considering the fact that i am curious and always asking questions, i don't expect much from the staff but yea. :p

since i had come to kochi for a conference i didn't have time to have breakfast here, for which it is famous and i had to come here for dinner. also because this place was in my must-go-to list. i ordered one latte and mushroom cheese omelette. latte was really nice and satisfying but the mushroom cheese omelette was some beyond-my-capacity-to-express-how-delicious-it-was level. i am a huge mushroom fan and the mushroom was properly cooked and the cheese was dripping and the entire combination with the bread ofcourse was so good. i was full. i wanted to get more parceled as well. later i also had there chocolate cake which comes with a chocolate dip. please do try it, it was soft and yum-za.

i think it is a must breakfast place, hence, must go. i also think it's a must anytime go place. :)

went to this place infortkochi with very hungry belly. had to wait for 1 hour for our steaks. both white wine sauce and red wine sauce looked and tasted same. meat was well cooked - that saved the day.

great place. had breakfast there during our stay atfortkochi. also visited for a late lunch once.

very good food, everything is freshly prepared so a bit slow.

friendly staff and great service overall.

nice ambience with indoor and outdoor seating areas

my favourite cafe infortkochi!. they have both beautiful interior and exterior spaces. and serves amazing food. do try their masala tea. or their hot ginger honey! such a good hot beverage. and they serve it in pot. easily fills 3 cups. one dish which i recommend to all who goes tofortkochi side is banoffee pie of qissa! and everysingle person who tired this have came back to say thanks. such a good dessert this is.

also try their steaks.

i kinda felt that this place is very lively ! their interior is so peacefully done ,that i sat in this place for a very long time ! loved the sandwich and the cold coffee !their cold coffee isn't like the normal cold coffee that we get here in kochi ! i personally loved the cold coffee a lot . they served the signature chocolate cake covered with ganache ! cake was so good but ganache had a very bad intense taste of milkmaid ! this cafe is easy on pocket too! staffs were very courteous ! i will definitely visit this place again the next time i come tofortkochi !

nice place good ambience. some dishes were really nice. the mushroom cheese omelette was really nice so was the chicken breast in wine mushroom sauce. the veg lasagne however was pathetic. it is a good wnough restaurant to visit once while you are infortkochi.

this is another cute cafe infortkochi. the outer seatings are adorable and well arranged with ornamentals. the decorations continue inside too, leaving me good things to say about the ambience. i came here for breakfast and as a pancake lover, i was satisfied with their vanilla ones. not the best i’ve had but their banoffee pie made up for it. yum!

good vibes!! one of the best places to hangout infortkochi. highly recommended. the price are reasonable, been here quite a few times. people who visitfortkochi should try this place out.
