Indian Coffee House, MG Road

Indian Coffee House, a coffee shop in the heart of the city was in 'Must Visit' list for quite some time now. I had heard some great review about this place. So finally I landed on this place accidentally.
Location: This place is located on MG Road and considering the Metro chaos on this Road this is the worst place to visit a restaurant. As you all know the parking in this area is pretyy horrible.
Rating:- 2/5


Ambience: The place was lasted painted like 30-40 years ago. The place has been shabbily maintained with same old seats and dirty flooring. The stair which leads you to the 1st floor is horrible. I understand the concept of maintaining the originality of the place bit it dosent mean that you dont maintain the place at all. Extremely dissapointing.
Rating: 1.5/5
Food and Service: The menu had limited items like Cutlets, Omlette, Dosas and Toasts to go with Coffee which is supposed to be speciality of this place. We had Veg Cutlets, Mutton Cutlets, Omlette and Finger chips. The food was very ordinary and pretty oily. The Coffee which was supposed to the speciality was pathetic. This was the worst coffee we had in sometime. This was not all. The service was one of the worst I had seen

in my entire life. The waiter was extremely rude and very untidy and he was going around yelling at the customers in the shop. We were extremely scared to even place the order. And it was all happening in front of the manager and he was hardly bothered. It was cultural shock to all of us and hopefully once in alife time experience.

Overall this place has to be on all of your's 'Places to Avoid' list. This is not at all worth all the hype it has recieved. Be it the poor ambience, below ordinary food and pathetic service evrything is so bad about the place.
