The Willow Cafe — Restaurant in Chandigarh

Well, heard a lot about this place, BUT, its a STRICT NO NO for Vegetarian people like us. It has got awesome food for Non Veg, as suggested by the people out there, and we were the sole one to order Vegetarian food, the were VERY Limited options when it comes to Vegetarian food, so not an encouraging experience in food. We ordered Paneer khurchan, which was a gravy version of Kadhai Paneer and Kashmiri Naan, which was supposed to be loaded with Dry fruits and coconut powder, but didn't. Preparations were good but not exceptional. Tomato Soup was stunning, very cremy and well prepared, the only good thing of our meal. On weekends and holidays, its a packed place and getting table is difficult. Service is very good by couple of servers, but when we went, it was crowded so have to remind them now and then about serving Water, onions etc. Place is small and not looks a VERY UPSCALE place with huge space or lavish interiors, but yes the prices are highly UPSCALED, like the paneer we ordered was Rs.600+ and a small coke costed us Rs.108..wooffff

So all the vegetarians out there, you can skip willow cafe for lunch and Dinner, but heard their Breakfast is good, so may be one can try and...

I absolutely loved the food. The grilled fish was amazing & the chicken kathi rolls too were delicious. The masala chai was great too & the ambience & decor is cute & cozy.

I still give a 2 star coz we were four ppl & one of us (my aged mother) walked in with one Swiss roll which she was eating on her way in & she was stopped at the entrance & asked to finish the Swiss roll & only then enter due to their policy of not allowing outside food. What on earth!!!! It’s not like we had a box of pizza or some food from outside which we were going to eat at their premise. It was just a half eaten Swiss roll from the next door capital bakery which she would’ve finished before we sat at their table 🙄 very insensitive and no common sense in the name of following rules. Would he have stopped if it were...

Whenever I need to discuss on academics with my friend Dr Bahadur Singh and Dr Nitin, we often find a place to sit where there is peace, and have exceptional coffee taste, but to our surprise the willow cafe is also known for its wonderful different flavours of tea and delectable continental and Indian foods. They also serve cookie 🍪 with tea, which I like it. However, there was one incidence of bad experience with us, as my friend Dr Bahadur Singh swiped his credit card to pay the bills. The money was deducted twice, but they did not refund the extra money gone to them. It was really bad, we cannot expect this kind of unprofessional behaviour from a caffe located at posh area of Chandigarh … otherwise...
