Fika- a travellers cafe located in pushkar (a religious town that attracts all kinds of nice hearted and wicked people from all walks of life). So, food here is akin to home food, made to nourish and makes you feel good from inside instead of looking trendy and cool.
More than the nourishing and vitalizing Mojitos (modi mo), Juices, Shakes and different kinds of dishes served- you can find the company of some wickedly interesting travellers and of course, there are no customs and hesitations involved, for traveling is always expecting the unexpected.
So anywhere you are staying in pushkar (moustache is probably the only place open 24/7 in pushkar), visit the Fika Café, for guests and people staying elsewhere can relax, unwind, find comfort and seek company of the people around, for an experience that cannot be put into words. It is not a commercial franchise, it’s a home away from home-play your music if you would like (the excellent sound system is there), enjoy the best view of the hills and places in pushkar by sitting at the cafe and when you find comfort, connect with the people around.
The manager currently, Mr. Chikoo is an amazing nice guy who can be your best resource locally : his father was one of the first in India to get a pasta machine imported from Italy and was hand making pastas 30-40 years ago in India. Take some time to understand the people providing you service, cooking for you, serving you for they aren’t employed but are volunteering and hence you might find unexpected things at unexpected places but isn’t that why we travel because nothing unexpected happens inside the 4 walls of your apartment in the city. You choose and create the vibe-this cafe and hostel can be your hippie commune or even just a regular odd cafe- you visit for food-what...
Read moreBeen to this cafe recently on my trip to Pushkar….we randomly went to this cafe to explore some good food with good vibes
The vibe was sassy and artistic, this place offers great view of mountain terrain and city.
We ordered pink sauce pasta, shakshuka, falafel platter, peri peri fries, Indiana pizza and blueberry mocktail. Food is just okish although Shakshuka wasn’t really shakshuka but it was the most yummiest among all. Second good item was Indiano Pizza with all the veggies as topping was served fresh with perfectly baked thin crust. Overall food rating is 3
Service is slow so it gives you good time to enjoy the place.. you can enjoy the wait time by playing foose ball, reading books, enjoy the music or just simply keep your phone aside and chit chat with people around you.
Overall a good place to chill on a...
Read moreFika cafe is the place I spent maximum hours of my day in Pushkar. The cafe is the perfect place to work during the day (if you're on work-cation) and chill around during evenings. With different games to keep people engaged to vibrant wall arts and the beautiful view of mountains, the place has a vibe of its own! The staff is extremely warm and helpful especially Chikoo, who suggests the best dishes to try as per your taste. They have a variety of different cuisines, from Indian food to Italian, from exotic dishes to simple homely food. Among shakes, banana dates walnut shake is a must-try! Full ratings for the service, taste and the vibe...
