Backpackers Cafe — Restaurant in Chandigarh

The menu has a wide range of things to choose from, but I ordered a chicken cacciatore with a brown sauce. Everything looked good on the plate, but after having eaten a little portion of the meal, I found a black hair in my chicken, laden with the sauce. It was either from someone's beard or their head. I examined to make sure it wasn't mine or of the friend accompanying me.

Our server, was very apologetic about the incident. He took the plate and asked if I'd like to order something else. His name was Eeshwar (I've forgotten the name, but I think it was this or something similar sounding) and I thank him for his reassurance and cooperation.

However, if anything of this nature happens, the manager of the said place has always made sure to drop by the table and talk to me. Maybe it was the heavy foot-fall in the cafe then or simple unawareness of what's happened, for which reason the manager never came. So, it felt like this might be a routine occurance or that such matters are taken more than lightly, which is so upsetting.

For a cafe with its reputation, I am not at all impressed with this lackadaisacal and negligent attitude towards service, or the hair served to me on a platter, literally.

My appitite was ruined and I couldn't wait to run oun out and get a meal...

Ah, such a chic and swanky cafe to be at. To run an open kitchen is difficult cause you’ve got to make it look aesthetic and a bit theatrical at all points, and these guys do a great job of it. A morning visit here is worth it, I opted for the Philly Chicken Cheese Steak Sandwich, and it was perfectly filling and delightful. With Fresh Lime Water and a pancake stack on the side my breakfast couldn’t have gotten better. The Backpackers Classic Breakfast a.k.a Eggs to Order was also a good choice with hot chocolate drink on the side.

Listening to them play La Vie En Rose, I decided that this cafe deserves a 5/5 for the overall hospitality. It is unfair of me to forget this name, but I called up the cafe, whilst writing this, just to confirm that his name was Mr. Harindar, because he had been a very very helpful gentleman.

To sum it all up, a total must visit. They have a beautiful cafe, with lovely art surrounding the whole place. And a very calming, gentle atmosphere with sweet music crooning through the speakers and an open kitchen with chefs making it look like they were playing their...
