This place is located on the rooftop of a bungalow and it offers nice and cozy ambience. Great place to hangout with buddies while enjoying tea/coffee and different sort of fast food items (pizza/burgers/fries etc). The owner was a nice and educated guy.

When it comes to a peaceful place for tea/snacks, I would recommend Cafe Pistol off course. It was good time spent there. The tea was fantastic

A secluded spot with cool lighting and ambience. Food is really tasteful, fulfilling and pocket friendly. Cafe manager and rest of the staff are very humble in their conduct. A very good everyday chai spot to hang out with friends and family. Highly recommended!

Excellent place to chilling out with friends. I really like this place because it has a good ambiance and not too crowded as well and the staffs are highly capable. If you’re up for a fresh place with beautiful architecture then this is a must to visit.
