Personally I believe what really stood out for me about Cafe Greek Orchid was it's accessibility and ambience. Located on one of the busiest roads of Dehradun, surprisingly this cafe is all that a person who likes to enjoy food in calm and peace aspires! From it's pastel hues of whites and greens to it's lo-fi music playlist, everything is sure to to make you feel nice about the breezy wind of summer air that this cafe feels like. Other than being a cafe, I realised that this cafe also caters to those who like to connect and co-work amidst food and cafe ambience. I mean who wouldn't want to just grab their laptop, come and chill here? And it's not only the ambience of this place that will make you feel so but also it's vast menu of food! Here's what all I tried:
🥤: Chocochip Shake, Oreo Shake, Snickers Shake, and some chillers that belong to your summer bruch visits- Bluelagoon, Paan Mojito, Litchi Crush, Kiwi Crush and Orange Crush.
Out of all these drinks, my personal favourite would be the snickers shake and the Paan Mojito.
Now coming to the food, I got to try a good portion of all these dishes:
🍝Chicken Spaghetti in pink sauce which honestly tasted decent to me! It was saucy enough and made for a decent quantity.
🌮Corn and jalapeno taco 🌮Barbeque chicken taco The tacos to me are my weakness! So when it comes to Tacos I'm very particular what my fillings are like. Here in burrow, they serve you with a hard shell taco filled with your preference of Veg or Non-Veg, the vegetarianams get a taco full of marinated sweet corns whereas the Non-vegetarians could expect juicy tender shreds tossed in a barbeque-like tasting sauce. Out of the two, for me, the winner is Chicken Tacos!
🍱Cottage cheese sizzler 🍱Chicken sizzler Again, the chicken sizzler was a better option for me since it served me with a really juicy breast of chicken with a whelming quantity of it's accompaniments. Personally I'm not a fan of grilled Cottage cheese, so Paneer sizzler wasn't the pick for me. But yes, the next time I visit burrow, Non-Veg Sizzler is definitely in my order!
🧀Loaded nachos Typically, like the nachos served in Dehradun, this plate of Nachos is a safe bet if you don't like experimenting much for your appetizers! Crispy, tasteful and seved with both- sour cream and Salsa!
🧇Lastly for Desserts(one of favourite part of the Burrow experience!), I tried their Waffle with vanilla ice cream and they were surprisingly too good! Perfectly crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, with the perfect taste of butter to enhance the flavour of the Vanilla Ice cream! Definitely, one of the sober Waffles served in Dehradun!
So all in all, you might spot me in burrow the next time I need an escape to chill at a cafe with my laptop on an upcoming lazy sunday afternoon!
