A Satisfying Culinary Experience.
I recently visited Cafficana in Kochi and indulged in a delightful culinary journey. I ordered Blueberry Cheese Cake, Chicken Loaded Fries, Pesto Pasta, Beef Lasagna and Cappuccino. Here's a brief review:
Blueberry Cheese Cake: The blueberry cheese cake left me with mixed feelings. While the blueberry jam topping was okay, but I found it a bit overwhelming, and the cheese cake tasted more like foam. It didn't quite match my expectations for a classic cheesecake. Compared to the other dishes, it fell short of being the highlight.
Chicken Loaded Fries: On a brighter note, the Chicken Loaded Fries stole the show. Not only were they incredibly tasty, but the portion size was just right. The balance of flavors and the perfect amount of chicken made it a satisfying treat.
Pesto Pasta: The Pesto Pasta was a winner for me. It had a delightful taste, and the portion size was spot on—enough to fill the tummy without being overwhelming.
Beef Lasagna: The Beef Lasagna was enjoyable, but a slight issue I felt was when the cheese cooled down, making it a bit difficult to cut. Despite this, the flavors were pleasing, adding to the overall positive experience.
Chicken Steak: It was served with Peanut Sauce and Steamed Veggies. The peanut sauce was exceptional and complemented the dish perfectly.
6.Spaghetti with Meatballs: which was another hit. Though the red sauce was a tad tangy for my liking, the meatballs tasted really good.
BBQ Chicken Wings were tasty, but I found myself wishing for a bit more BBQ sauce. They were served with greens.
Cafficana's ambience in Kochi is truly inviting. The cafe offers a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere, providing a serene work space with soft music in the background. It's a perfect spot to enjoy good food while working peacefully. Having been a customer of Cafficana in Calicut, I was eager to try their Kochi branch, and it did not disappoint. The food quality and hospitality lived up to my expectations, making the visit a...
