Our Menu
Our menu is crafted with mom’s love!
South Indian Favorite: Masala vada
You may be belong to any part of tamilnadu but we all united when vaigai puyal said:
“Masaal vada masaal vada thaan ya “ we serve you masala vada with your cup of coffee and tea .We take pride in serving these golden-brown lentil fritters. Our masala vadas are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, packed with curry leaves, green chilies, and aromatic spices. Each bite brings back memories of railway station platforms and evening gatherings, making it the perfect companion for your coffee or tea.
Dosa and Coffee
“Oru kinnam niraiya maavu eduthu periya roundavum illa chinna roundaavum illa pothuva oru rounduh pota“ our dosas strike the perfect balance. Served crispy and golden, neither too big nor too small, but just right these dosas are made with fermented rice and urad dal batter, creating a symphony of flavors with our signature coconut chutney and sambar.
The rhythmic sound of coffee being poured between tumblers, the sizzle of dosa on the griddle, and the warm conversations floating through our halls – these are the authentic experiences that no social media scroll can replace. As our Tamil wisdom goes, “Coffee-ya? Companion-a? Rendum correct-a irukkanum!”
Rava Kesari: Sweet and Flavorful Bliss
While Thalapathy may not have signed ‘Kesari’, our rava kesari signs off with a flourish of pure ghee, plump raisins, and crunchy cashews. This semolina-based sweet dish glows with its signature orange hue, enriched with cardamom and pure ghee. Each spoonful promises warmth and comfort, making it an ideal partner for your evening coffee.The saffron-kissed dessert carries the legacy of royal kitchens, where every grain of sooji is cooked to perfection until it reaches that signature melt-in-your-mouth consistency. As our regulars say, “Kesari saapta coffee-oda taste vera level!”.
Banana Chips: Crunchy Perfection
We not only provide sweet and coffee, we do give you crunchy banana chips. Our banana chips are a testament to South Indian snacking excellence. Thinly sliced raw bananas, fried to golden perfection in coconut oil, and seasoned with just a touch of salt. These addictively crispy chips provide the perfect contrast to your silky smooth coffee. Each batch is carefully crafted by our experienced chefs who understand the precise moment when the chips achieve that signature golden hue and unmistakable crunch. Like they say in Kerala, where this art originated, “Ethrayum kazhichaalum maduthu varilla” .
Coconut Ladoo: Sweet, Nutty, and Delicious
Our homemade coconut ladoo, rolled with pure love and garnished with cardamom, brings you the authentic taste of South Indian homes. Perfect with a strong cup of filter coffee, these sweet spheres of joy melt in your mouth, making your coffee break extra special. Made with freshly grated coconut and condensed milk, each ladoo is hand-rolled to achieve that perfect texture that’s firm enough to hold but gentle enough to dissolve with each bite. As our grandmother used to say, “Thengai ladoo-la irukura anbu coffee-oda kalanthaa, athu verum coffee illa, athu anbu saaram” (When the love in coconut ladoo mixes with coffee, it’s not just coffee anymore, it’s the essence of love).
Biscotti: A European Touch with an Indian Twist
While we pride ourselves on our South Indian heritage, we also appreciate global flavors. Our cardamom-almond biscotti offers the perfect crunch to complement your coffee. Dip it in your filter coffee for a fusion experience that bridges cultures. These twice-baked Italian cookies get a distinctly Indian makeover with the warmth of cardamom and the richness of premium almonds, creating what our regulars lovingly call “Rome meets Chennai in every bite.” When dunked in our piping hot filter coffee, these biscotti transform into a delightful treat that proves some of the best experiences come from unexpected cultural marriages – or as our chef says, “East meets West, but South Indian coffee connects best!”
Apple Cinnamon Muffins: Modern Day Comfort
For those who love a contemporary twist, our apple cinnamon muffins bring warmth to your coffee experience. As Vadivelu would say, “Cake-u fresh-a iruku!” These muffins are baked daily, ensuring you get the freshest bite with your evening coffee. Each muffin is studded with tender chunks of fresh apple and topped with a crunchy cinnamon-sugar crown that creates a delightful contrast of textures. Just as our beloved comedian Vadivelu would exclaim “Sema taste, super taste!” These muffins strike the perfect balance between Western comfort and Indian warmth, making them the ideal companion for your evening filter coffee ritual.
Cheese and Crackers: A Light Evening Snack
When you’re in the mood for something light yet satisfying, our homemade spiced crackers served with local cheese make the perfect accompaniment to your coffee. It’s our modern take on the traditional evening snack.
