When I entered @sawansthecafe , first thing came to me was, that's some adequately sized place! With an open kitchen and mocktail bar it definitely adds some great visuals.
Since @sawansthecafe is a multi cuisine Cafe-restaurant, I tried some distinctive items and here's the review!
Starting with Zuppa Tuskana and Crostini Supreme, Zuppa (Soup) was really good! It had its balanced taste with delicious creaminess and mild spices were just too good, I liked it. Crostini supreme was full of toppings, had its tanginess, sweetness and overall, it was a good tasting (and looking) item.
Now in second round of appetizers, there were two types of Paneer Tikka and Falafel Balls with, Hummus, Tatziki and Salsa, which are already a great combo, falafel were made good but I missed the crunchy texture, all the dips were really good!
One the other side, both of Tikkas were properly marinated, Pahadi was a spicier version while Sultani was mild one, but surprisingly Sultani tasted better! Along with these were Vegetable Kurkura Seek Kebabs, pretty unique as it had outer layer of papad?? Yeah and here the spice balance was fantastic, not overdone, good!!!
Coming to main course!! Chef special Sabzi along with Butter naan is just too good to miss! What a combo!! Plus Hot Pot rice is a Mexican style rice recipe with mildly sweet-tangy-spicy (Remember Salsa) taste, beans gave it a good texture overall and I think everyone liked it, so a big yes!
Apart from this well curated menu items there were some really good mocktails made with care and creativity! Each one was different in its own way and paired fantastically with food, Asian Kiwi was bit too sweet for my taste, but Singapore Sling, Blueberry Mint and Spicy Guava were pretty good!!
So, let's sum it up, good ambience, equally good food what else do you want?
@sawansthecafe is a place to be with your family and friends, it gives an impression of some cafe but is a restaurant at core and has some really good food, I'd like serving staff to be more accomodative but it's just a nit-picking.
So there you go! A fun weekend... Or weekdays place, you...
Read moreWe went today at 8:30 and we were out at 10:30 food was on the table before 15 mins of leaving the hotel, the taste of the food was neutral, not too spicy neither too nill. The service was so late so all mood was ruined, the managers were good but the waiters should have attended the guests and would have asked if they need anything else, but no one was bothered about it, we have to call and ask even for a glass of water. Not happy I have had alot more expectation but wasn't worth. Even the people with us, were complaining about the time of the delivery of food, it's a good place for cafe needy people but not through family setting perspective, even the DAL ordered came at the end after most of the food was eaten 2 startes came one came with the main course, so this doesn't make sense even starting to eat and then waiting 10 mins for something then again eat then waiting for 20 mins for some other thing to come. Should improve your serving and...

We tried Manchurian Dry as an appetizer, Paneer Kadhai and Tawa Veg in main course accompanied by Buttermilk and Roasted Papad. Manchurian Dry was well-cooked and had a great flavor. Paneer Kadhai tasted extremely authentic and the good quality spices were used. Tawa Veg had a rich taste and the veggies were aptly cooked. The X-Factor for this restaurant is their Butter Tawa Roti. There are very few restaurants in the city where such good quality, fresh and hot Rotis are served. 10/10 for Rotis and Parathas. As accompaniments, Roasted Papad and Buttermilk/Lassi are just perfect. Their service is great, for the quality of food they serve. The minimalistic yet classy interiors are just a great addition to their good food.
All in all, it is a great multi-cuisine restaurant which is...
