Cafe Lota - New Delhi

I recently had the opportunity to visit Cafe Lota and I have a mixed review of my experience. Let's delve into the details. First and foremost, the restaurant's ambiance deserves special mention. Cafe Lota is housed in a charming building that exudes a unique and artistic vibe. The attention to detail in the decor and overall design adds a delightful touch to the dining atmosphere. Now, let's talk about the food. Admittedly, I found the prices at Cafe Lota to be on the higher side. The dishes were indeed expensive, and unfortunately, they didn't quite live up to the expectations in terms of taste. I felt that the flavors were lacking and didn't justify the hefty price tags. Specifically, the parathas, despite their reputation, didn't meet the mark considering the amount paid. However, there was one exceptional aspect that made my visit worthwhile the coffee. Cafe Lota's coffee is simply incredible. It surpasses the quality and taste of popular coffee chains like Starbucks. Each sip was a revelation, with rich flavors and a delightful aroma that lingered long after the cup was empty. For coffee aficionados, Cafe Lota is an absolute must visit destination. In terms of value for money, I couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment that the cafe didn't fully live up to the hype created by Instagram influencers. While the associated museum offered free admission, the prices at the cafe didn't match the overall experience. Considering all these factors, I am awarding Cafe Lota a three star rating. The visually appealing building and the outstanding coffee are deserving of recognition. However, the high prices and underwhelming food prevent me from awarding a higher rating. Despite these shortcomings, I would still be inclined to revisit Cafe Lota solely for the sake of their remarkable coffee. It's important to remember that taste preferences and dining experiences can vary greatly, so I encourage others to give Cafe Lota a chance and form their own opinions.

The place is definitely amazing. The ambience and food is quite elite. The food is really delicious, not too spicy, have perfect blend of spices. One must really try out- Palak patta chaat, sabudana balls, and corn paneer patties alongwith Aam Panna. Mini idli was also okay. Sattu paratha was good too. We have in dessert bhapa doi cheescake, which I won't recommend. It was too dense and dry. In drinks, Aam Panna was really good, Bel sharbat was average. Gatte ki sabji was average, although kurkuri bhindi was really tasty. As whole, I'd recommend to visit once and I am sure you'd like to visit again.

Amazing place with amazing taste..loved you extensive menu..would love to visit your place again in future..big thumbs up to this place..stay amazing!!

A great place for food and conversations. It's not very loud and you can have a discussion with some great food options. We had kerela style chicken, ragi chicken momos, Mansa chop, kokum Sharbat, masala chaach followed by Bappa doi cheese cake and the kulfi. I loved everything except the kulfi and would recommend everything that I had to anyone who goes to Lota. Great service our server helped us decide a couple of dishes (from the above list) and they were very good.

It’s one of the best food joints I have ever visited. The innovation through fusion of since long proclaimed healthy food with the latest taste trend, brings it a hundred thumbs up !!! Class apart!
