the chapter kitchen

visited this place for the first time today. the place is great with good ambience and good music.

the rooftop is good as well but is highly dependent on the weather of agra.

the restaurant has a big screen with projector attached to tata sky for viewing your favourite sport and supporting your favourite team.

now on the matter of food and shakes. i tried the banana toffee shake and my friend had the brownie shake. we ordered mexican chilli cheese fries along with it.

the brownie shake was good. the issue was with the banana toffee shake. i could only taste banana in it, where as i expected that there will be a twist of toffee flavour in there. the mexican chilli fries were quite normal and where missing the chilli effect that they usually contain.

next time if we plan to come here i will try some other items on the menu.

great place n good crowd.. finally a decent place to unwind @ agra. food average. ambience great... they have an ac section n an open air terrace. live cricket matches are projected . biggest flaw of the place... it doesn't serve u hard drinks...

chapter 1 cafe is finally something agra will be needing from so long.
verdicts:

food: they have all type of cuisine available- from indian to continental, they have everything and each of the item has amazing taste. few of the items are exceptionally great and something which we were always enjoying in big metro cities. after hotel radisson blu, they are the only people who have the concept of tandoori pizza which gives you an amazing aroma and a completely different crunch.

drinks: these people really have some great teas which you wont find in market easily. also their cold coffees and the way of blending and arranging it with flavor syrups is something really good which i liked better than starbucks.

environment: their 2nd floor lounge setup will give you a brewery or a classy lounge feel which can definitely makes your feel like a high-shots metro lounges.
hygiene is very good, seats and tables are clean.

their rooftop is something which i personally liked the most about the place. every detail of the setup has been carefully placed in the best possible manner. either you are alone or a big group of people, you will find a place for yourselves.
music is something which completes the whole environment. viva la vida by coldplay, afrojack's music, avicii's beat and many more when get played here with fresh smooth winds takes you to an ecstatic state of mind.

staff: lads are friendly and service is quick.

pricing: pricing is perfect; neither cheap nor expensive. its always better to pay for some quality food than paying less and getting your stomach f**ked up.

final verdict: this is the best place in agra to relax your mind and chill out with friends. you will always find a good crowd here.

its a place where specially girls can always feel comfortable.

they have proper bouncers, full security, no shady entrances, good valet parking (they really know driving maruti to mercedes).

highly recommend this place, always remind me of bangalore (y)

nothing can be better than a wonderful evening in the city of taj and specially when you are at this lovely cafe which has this contemporary earthy rawness and richness in it's ambience and food.
an excellent quick service with mouth-watering delicious meals and refreshing drinks ! lovely place for a creative person to sit and relax in this harmonious cafe !!

awesome coffee. better than starbucks. they have great flavours like caramel, chocolate many more. best place to hang out in agra. loved it.

finally, a good place in agra to satiate your taste-buds with something other than mughlai and chinese... located at the main fatehabad road, making its place among the cluster of restros, here... competition stands as it always had, but hats off to the innovative idea, and the concept (which is not new) in the city of taj...

ambiance is fascinating indeed, whether it's roof top or in restaurant seating... something that reminds of cafés from metros - dim lightening, soothing music,couches for comfy seating, kind of cutlery they use and the way they bring in the cheque... there even have a bar area, but no liquor is served. but the place is newly opened, so we can let go that... nevertheless, place is perfect for family dinners too.

coming to the food, we have ordered::

i) veg. ravioli pasta (4.0) - served in the white sauce, nice in texture and flavour. delicious!

ii) paneer ravalpindi combo (3.0) - paneer ravalpindi was quite good, served with perfect lachcha paratha...totally delicious, until we tasted the dal here... well, it should served with the name 'dal lehsuni'... too much garlic to gulp!

iii) hummus and falafel (2.0) - falafel was extremely dry, it tasted almost like the cutlets, hummus was although fine by me... try to improve this dish!

iv) passion fruit iced tea (3.5) - nice, refreshing and flavours were quite precise. loved it!

v) lynchee lychee (4.5) - lovely concoction of flavours... very nice drink, if you love lychee, a must try for you...highly recommended!

there were no noticeable fault in the service, although number of waiters seemed less or may be rather busy serving people on the rooftop. a scope of improvement is there on the service part!

rest everything seemed great, ambiance is surprisingly good for the place like agra, but some improvement in food, especially in lebanese and italian dishes can make it really amazing place to go!!

still, go for it!

friends, this place might have been good earlier.
but now the
music is crapy
food is pathetic and overpriced
ambience is too cliche
very uncomfoting and unwelcoming place.
visit only if u fall short of other options in agra( which in case u will never do ) 😜

amazing pizzas.... good ambiance... the only place to chill in agra!
very friendly ! service is excellent ..
thank you chapter 1 cafe! thank you for complimentary brownie toooo

double plus for the scenery, perfect spot to escape the hectic streets of agra. food was okayish, ice teas were very nice. unpleasant: we as foreigners got seated before indian customers who came first.

the ambience is nice and food is also good. need to work on the service time which is not fully up to the mark . overall , a good place to hangout . hope to see atleast a cocktail section in the near future .

the ambience is good but the food is pathetic. we ordered an oreo shake which tasted like milk shake and peanut butter shake was alright. the waiter forget to bring cold coffee and when i asked him for my drink it took him half an hour to bring cold coffee to my table, by then we were almost done with our meal. the pizza was too small, pasta was not amazing and also the quantity was very less. falafal with hummus was the only thing which was good. the prices were too high and the food quality and quantity didn't meet the standards. in short the experiene was not good and it wasn't worth the money i spent. cost for four was 3500 and yet we were all still hungry and had to visit mcdonalds after that. not recommended!

an evening well spent at this new and astounding cafe in town.
the cafe has pleasing interiors and quite an appealing decor for its rooftop. their menu too, has a lot of variety including desserts(which i'm crazy about). 😆
i've been there thrice in a month and enjoyed it every single time. so far i've tried there cheese kicker pasta, wood fired taj gate pizza, club sandwiches, nachos with salsa, kitkat shake, brownie shake, green apple mojito and some peach drink and chocolate chip cheesecake. pasta is my all time favorite there, ordered it all three times. didn't like cheesecake quite much, could have been prepared better.
i've sensed the improvement in their preparations over time which is a very good thing.

in all it is one of it's kind and a perfect place to chill! indeed a much needed hangout place for the city's youth.

this cafe is just a month old and is a branch of the delhi one. good ambience,polite and courteous staff, decent food makes it a good try for everyone wanting to have sheesha and decent food in agra. if you are looking to have beer or any other liquor you have to wait for it as it has not yet started. :-) . advice you to book in advance as the terrace is always full.
overall experience 3.5/5

service is really slow for the prices they are offering. they kept forgetting what we ordered. the only plus point is the sitting arrangement and delhi-like feel to the cafe.
