So so glad ! Finally, a decent cafe to work/read in Khandagiri area.
Awesome service, nice staff. Awesome ambiance.
BUT, food can be improved.
Suggestion on some food:
Being a new cafe, I am hoping you will consider some suggestions without taking it to heart.
The fried spinach chaat is an excellent addition but you made it taste like just another restuarnt chaat. The taste of fried spinach was great but was lost inside the tangy sauce. Do not add too much sauces like tamarind, curd etc. How about give those wet things on the side so that one can mix it as per their taste ??
About coffee, this is my observation about most cafes in Bhubaneswar not just yours.
Why don't you do some research on making good beverages ?? Just a lil Googling maybe. Or just buy our own home grown Koraput Coffee variety packs, there are excellent instructions on the pack on brewing coffee. Support and voice for local produce.
The name Pathshala signifies it's a cafe suitable to read. People like me who hop on cafes around the city to work/read will need good beverages like tea/coffee. Put some thoughts into it. Live up to your cafe's name. Add tea varieties, Darjeeling, Assam, Earl Gray, Chamomile etc. Make use of Amazon/Flipkart and Google.
About hot chocolate-- this again is an observation about every cafe in BBSR. They just put sweet chocolate syrup in milk.
It is supposed to be made from cocoa powder/melted dark chocolate with sugar/flavors given on the side to add as per one's taste, just like coffee. I suggest reading about chocolates from "Paul and Mike", an award winning Indian chocolate brand- this way, you can support another local brand as well. Chocolate does not mean sweet and caramel, chocolate are made from COCOA which is actually bitter. Sweet/other flavors are added to compensate for the bitterness. INNOVATE on flavors if you may. . . . . .
I would really like to see some original/unique cafes in BBSR which is not the copy of just another typical cafe in Patia area. And you have that potential....
