booked a table through zomato. had a lot of expectations based on the ratings and reviews. here's what we found.
location & ambiance: ⭐⭐⭐
the way to this cafe is through a suzuki showroom which is weird. once you walk up the stairs, you notice a few bikes kept on the far right that are visible from the road. there is nothing else on the right. you walk through the left to the cafe. the disconnect is eye-catching. in the dining area, you feel the name does not really match up. a bike themed cafe with wall portraits that have either bike pics or bike plate numbers only; with a pool table at the centre makes you feel pretty out of place. the lighting is pretty ordinary and less.
let's get to the food part now.
chicken and cheese nuggets: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
5 pieces at ₹80. tastes really good and the best part of all the orders. the chicken was soft and tender and the cheese felt yum. the crispiness outside and the softness inside amazed me.
chicken sandwich: ⭐⭐
chewy chicken pieces that takes out the joy of eating a sandwich. shredded chicken pieces were too less in quantity and this was below average. also served were a few pieces of french fries.
chicken burger: ⭐⭐⭐
the bun was ok. the lettuce was old. dangling from the sides. the chicken patty was average. its made in-house i could understand and they confirmed it. however it had more onion and ginger pieces and tasted average again. overall, a pretty average serving.
choco frappe: ⭐⭐⭐
average again. tasted more like chocolate shake with coffee in it. the cream on top was missing.
last words: okay, our first experience was not something that made us go crazy about this place or love it. you can go here but keep your expectations low. the food is average, the ambiance is non-existent. there are surely better places at this price range.
suggestions to the staff/cafe management:
1. brining chicken is important
2. get chicken that do not weigh over 1.5 kg
3. choco frappe is a great drink. learn to make it
4. improve the patty. or get it frozen from market
5. lettuce is not compulsory. serving old and dried lettuce looks pretty awful
6. a couple of bikes can be kept in the main cafe and the pool table can be moved towards the other end
7. you have a great place and i found a lot of potential and scope for improvement to draw the crowd in
8. serving tomato sachet looks cheap when you have a cafe that wants to prove itself as a brand. serve it on a small bowl. its a one time cost and gives a premium feel to the dish. give it a thought.
