Cafe Tesu

The ambience is great, so was the service. Went there in the morning (8: 30AM), so only breakfast menu was available. Tried Latte and Sandwich, both were good. Plus walking distance from Hauz Khas metro

A cute and cozy place to sit and work or chill with friends. Has a nice outdoor seating as well, can get hot during the day but is amazing for evenings and nights. The service is pretty good but the menu seems a bit confusing at first.

Best place for brunch. Quite expensive but quality of food are good, services and surrounding areas are impressive. Best time for visit this cafe 03: 00 pm.

We have been going here since I was dating my husband, and now we are expecting. We went there for one last date before the baby comes and it wasn't disappointing at all.

I love the avocado toast and bruschetta. Especially the pink flowers they add to the toast. Pink flowers too have a special significance in our lives. It's a beautiful experience overall.

Ambience is good but the food is below average. We ordered 3 items and all of them was not good in taste. So it's not worth going.

The cheesecake was to die for, even the pancakes were amazing. The service was very fast. Ambiance was very beautiful.

A beautiful picturesque Cafe.
One of the few that serves an early morning breakfast. A must try if you are bored working from Starbucks.

It’s a nice soothing cafe in Essex farms compound. There is free parking available inside the compound. Weekends are crowded and you may not be able to park yourself so the valet does it for you and you need to tip him.
Cafe has both inside and outside seating. Ample space and it’s decorated in pastels. For vegetarian lovers you may fall short of choices. We ordered for mezze platter, which when served was very nicely plated. There are 4 pitas, 4 falafel patties, 7 dips, olives & lavash. Falafel was nice with lots of sesame seeds. All the dips like hummus, tartar, salsa, roasted bell pepper were real tasty. Lavash was very soft and nice. Pickles were good too. This costed Rs 720 plus taxes as applicable.
Had cappuccino, which was good. A cup for Rs 275.
It’s expensive though and they don’t offer any discounts on Dineout or any apps or otherwise.
Drinks are available
Service was nice. Manish served as well & kept checking if anything was needed or everything was ok. They have bakery items too. High chairs are also available.
Liked the cutlery.

Great place, good food and lovely tea.
Great hospitality
Ambience is great and luxurious
Good parking facility too, valet service available.
In centre of delhi city so good place for meetings
Good choice with large menu option.

Great place to chillax with friends, cousins and family. Coffee lovers definitely should try *AFFOGATO* coffee. I never had something like that before.

Lovely place with great food. Can go with friends, family, partner, kids and enjoy the ambience. Always buzzing place with people waiting to get a table. Must visit. It's in Essex farms opposite IIT on Sri Aurobindo Marg. Reasonably priced as well.

It's a nice caffe with beautiful ambience and affordable prices. The staff is very generous and well behaved and as comapre to the rustique as these two are in front of each other I would say Cafe Tesu is much better in terms of pricing and food. The cold coffee, waffles, pizza everything was delicious and quality was not compromised. Overall a great experience.

Beautiful cafe within the vintage Essex Farms area. Good range of small/large plates and breakfast menu, along with an awesome range of coffee and tea on offer. Quick and efficient servers. Great experience.
Seating: mostly inside the cafe, socially distanced. Outside seating is limited to 2-3 tables.
Pricing: above average, but worth the money for the quantity served and the flavours!
The place has ample parking and option to avail their valet service too.

Loved the food.great ambiance.just one thing that the place gets a bit loud when it's full, becomes very difficult to talk to eachother.

Literally shit. Ordered spring roll and first bite was like me vomiting.

Editing my review:
According to cafe it had a herb that gives it the flavour. So based on my experience I won't recommend spring roll at all, and since none of my friends ate it, we were not charged. Ambience was 5/5 and manager had taken geniune feedback and responded proactively.

Started my morning with Cafe Tesu. I should say. 5/5 for the ambiance. Lived upto it's reputation. As for the food.that was one of the best Masala omlettes I've ever had.the pickled mushrooms alongside the potato wedges were complimenting the dish pretty well. My friend also enjoyed her breakfast. The menu was extensive and exhaustive. The service was quick and the most important thing. The staff was very helpful and polite! Must visit place for everyone!

4.5 STARS!

Highly recommend! The food is lip-smacking and the cafe is spacious and comfortable.

We ordered a bunch of vegetarian dishes, such as -
Truffle Fries: The fries were crispy till the last bite and the truffle flavour came out really well
Spicy Avocado Sushi: Misleading name, as it was hardly spicy. But nonetheless, it was delicious! The avocado, cucumber and rice combo made for a creamy, yummy mouthfeel. Definitely order this alongside a spicy dish to offset the heat.
Chilli Garlic Dimsum: The dimsums were good but the stars of the show were the sauces they were served with. There was a chilli garlic sauce that was delightfully garlicky and a green tapenade sort of sauce that seemed to be made of coriander and schezwan peppers. We ended up asking them for more of these sauces to drizzle on the other dishes.

Banana Caramel Shake: How can bananas and caramel ever go wrong! Do note that this was sweet enough for us not to want to order dessert.
Fettuccine with Mushroom Fricassee and Truffle Oil: The green pasta was doused in a creamy, cheesy, parmesan-y sauce, and had a strong truffle flavour. The mushrooms in the pasta were buttery and sauteed to perfection.
Sicily Pizza: Probably the only dish we were not completely satisfied with, despite it being one of the popular items on the menu. The pizza, on the whole, was delicious but it had been topped with candied walnuts, which had a bitter sweet aftertaste and ruined the flavour of the pizza. The next time I order it, I'd probably get the walnuts replaced with extra feta.

All in all, it was a great meal! Just typing about the dishes in this review is making my mouth water again, so you can imagine how good the food was.

Well lit ventilated and quaint cafe in the heart of Delhi. They have amazing ranges of coffees from all over the world. The pork sausages are nice and tender and they have a good breakfast spread. I will come again to try the lunch course which begins by 11.30 in the morning. Washrooms need to be cleaner and entry should be clearly mentioned.

Liked the preparation, good ambience. Would be better if you have your reservation beforehand, so you won't have to wait.

I visited this place for a birthday lunch and I must say it is one of very few places that serve amazing sushi's
Soothing ambience
They have outdoor seating as well
Loved the vibe

Everything I ordered was good except for the Korean fried chicken because I chewed on a pebble while eating the chicken lol

Lively ambience, great for a brunch date or even with friends.

The portion size is amazing and the options are pretty diverse. Overall, very amiable and satisfying food!

Exactly the kind of breakfast you need when your stomach is growling with hunger! Full meal. Loved it. Ordered spicy sausage and cheese omelette. Those were the best sausages I've had in a long time. Coffee was good but I think a lil expensive (why is coffee so expensive though? Not here. Everywhere) They have a nice book corner as well. Staff was very courteous. They escort people to their cars with which I think is a great plus when it comes to hospitality. Thoroughly enjoyed my time here

Pretty Decent place to Dine-in with your friends and loved one's. Food was also good and if you are vegan like me than you can go for Mexican burger which was awesome.

Place has a nice setting but food wasn't upto the mark. Would recommend pizzas though but stay a mile away from ravioli and pastas. Alcohol served.

Seems like a happening place now with the place bustling with people - young and old alike!
Hot Chocolate could come with options for hi med lo sweetness.

The place in exorbitantly expensive. They charge about 500 for a French press of their speciality coffee and it tasted terribly okay. They serve most of their french press coffee servings without milk, and if you ask them for it, they handover like 30 ml of foam in a little cup.
Overall the experience was a bust.

Beautiful restaurant with great aesthetics. Food is good but it's bit costly. We had periperi chicken sausage pizza which was really good and mac n cheese which was a bit dry & required more cheese n flavour. Waiters are well trained, perfectly dressed, well mannered.

A good place to try international cuisine. The best part was the sitting arrangements where it never feels crowded even if it's fully occupied.

One of the best place when I want to hangout with my best friend.its pizza's are ammazing; thin crust and ofcourse guilt free.hot beverages are must try you will definitely going to experience something different. Bit expensive but still experience is always good.

Ordered "Sicily" Pizza, as recommended by the café staff. They say it's their best, turns out to be a nightmare pizza.
Worst I ever had and as bad as it looks
Also frappe or whatever it was.a real dirt I would say. How could someone make such a waste.
That too at this price. Over priced, not worth it. Just ruined my taste for pizza and coffee. There should be no stars for this one.

One of the nice cafes here.
The black coffee is amazing but servuce can be lac if you are seated outside [I had to get up twice to seek the menu and to ask for the bill]. Although, staff is very friendly. The location is amazing and the crowd is just perfect.

Food was average, we ordered Burnt Garlic Chicken and white sauce pasta. But staff was really supportive and took every suggestion and served the food accordingly. We ordered lemon soda which was very refreshing. Ambience of this place is

Went to the cafe but didn't tried their coffee.
Food was okaish and a bit expensive considering the taste. Ambience is good.

It's a pretty breakfast place for those who are a fan of english breakfasts and various coffee forms. It also have a book section with famous books to read if you are a bibliophile. I also tried their chocolate pancake which was not exactly very great. I would recommend this place for a one time experience. It's not a budget friendly place but an upscale one!

Place is really good, ambience is also unique and the good is exquisite, Just was a little disappointed with staff as all of them were gather around one table instead of serving all.
And also saw many disappointed faces due to that.

Such a beautiful place with amazing interiors and delicious food and drinks. Can sit for hours here and have an amazing time.

In this blog post, I cover Café Tesu, a boutique cafe in South Delhi that marries the wonderful worlds of food, coffee, art, and imagination.

Named after the popular Tesu flower, which is considered the flame of the forest in Central and Western India, this cafe is born out of a desire of combining the wonderful worlds of food, coffee, art, and imagination.

The brainchild of young entrepreneur Dhruv Goyle, Cafe Tesu began as a simple idea of a relaxed, casual, earthy café, quickly transformed into a more collaborative offspring; a space for co-existence, where you work in harmony with those best at what they do.

Located at the entrance of Essex Farms, Aurobindo Marg, the café offers a quaint lil space with over 50 covers. It's the kind of place you always romanticized; adding to the cafe's allure is its striking blue facade and the heavenly wafts of fresh coffee in the air.

Setting the tone for what lies within is the near-perfect decor of Cafe Tesu, which replaces the slightly stiff café culture that has come to be a norm. With a striking resemblance to the insanely beautiful island of Santorini (Greece), the interiors offer a breath of fresh air, accentuated by the warm pastel tones and floral hints in the furnishing.

The decor is best exemplified by scene-stealing trumpets chandelier adorning the ceiling and overlooking the vibrant space below. The art nouveau backdrop within, ethereal luminosity, and contemporary setting, together, render a simplicity that is both sophisticated and opulent.

The cafe's design tells a more ornate story with three-arched walls hued in pastel pinks and blues, featuring homegrown artwork and enveloping the space in an expressionist vibe full of energy and passion.

The globe-spanning menu at Cafe Tesu is another highlight, with a deep repertoire of dishes that leave a lasting impression. Bringing alive the organic remnants of an artisanal cuisine, Cafe Tesu impresses from the word go!

The entire menu brims with wholesome and shareable offerings made with both homegrown and handpicked ingredients.

Redefining the art of quintessential morning breakfast, the team has crafted a deliciously on-point menu for early birds. Start your epicurean journey with the Fresh Fruit Granola Parfait or the all-star French Toast made with Custard Batter. Try the extravagant egg selection, including scrumptious omelets, skillets, and scrambles.

The all-day menu at Cafe Tesu also boasts of signatures, including the family-style Tart Platter with different kinds of cheese, Baby Back Pork Ribs, Parma Ham Wrapped Chicken, and the Crab Meat Sushi Roll (from the Sushi Bar).

If you like pasta, go for the Spinach and Ricotta Cheese Ravioli (a.k. A. Torteloni) or Spaghetti Cefalu with prawns. For those who can't survive without their burgers, go all out with the indulgent and hearty Coq Au Vin Burger and Lamb Bourguignon Burger.

Dessert lovers can explore baked goodness in all its delectable forms, courtesy Chef Sahil Mehta. Have your fill of sweet with classic French confections, pastries, and cakes.

Looking beyond your plate to what's brewing in your cup, the coffee and tea menus shine a spotlight on two of the country's best. Using India's delicious beans for its brews, the café provides a powerful and provocative voice for Indian coffee. Those in search of an expertly brewed cup or wanting to explore the world of beans should look no further than the specialty coffee menu curated by DEVI.

Cafe Tesu's menu also offers three kinds of cold brew that will be served throughout the season.

One of the most exquisite Indian tea producers, Anandini Himalaya Teas, has developed a consumer-friendly palate with an international twist, all the while staying true to its roots of being natural, pure, and real.

Staying true to the very culture of artisanal cafés, Café Tesu endeavors to be a gathering spot for community, conversation, and collaboration.

I celebrated my bachelorette here with my girl friends. Had an amazing time. The food here is mindblowing. Would totally recommend it. Its a lil pricey but totally worth it.

Great place, serve breakfast from 7.30 am onwards. English Breakfast plates are loaded and may be a little much for one person. Portions for the rest are decent. Crossiants are lovely, so is the selection of coffee. Price is on the higher side.

This place has potential to be so much better than it is. The ambience is elegant and the clientele sophisticated, yet the cafe is mediocre at best. The service is bland and food plain. The tiramisu was too bitter and none of the ingredients in the Mediterranean salad were fresh. Very disappointed!

It's a great cafe to have casual meetings or just sit by oneself for some time. Located opposite IIT Delhi and very near to SDA market. The coffee collection is good. The staff is very polite and helpful. It's not a cheap place but nothing unexpected of a nice cafe in South Delhi. They also serve liquor now and the food is not too bad either.
