Qahwa - New Delhi

The place is spacious and has a rustic feel to it. The ambiance is warm and peaceful and suitable for relaxing and long conversations. There's limited outdoor seating and high chair seating available too. The food is decent. Their pizza and apple cinnamon cappuccino are worth trying. The Falafel pockets were decent too. However, the south Indian filter coffee was a disappointment. They have quite an elaborate menu with a good mix of options to suit various palettes along with an extensive breakfast menu and beverage menu; there are some really quirky and experimental tea and coffee options to try on the menu. The service was slow however this could be due to the current covid situation and limited staffing along with made to order food.

Amidst the Shopping area of the Safdarjung DDA market is the mid budget restaurant of Qahwa. It serves great bread and sandwiches for breakfast and cool sizzlers for supper. Their chicken and corn brioche is a large loaf of salted bread stuffed with diced chicken, corn and cheese. Their classic ham and cheese sandwich is a four pieces of triangle shaped chicken stuffed portions. Their fresh soup and gur lemon soda are classic. The restaurant is simple and sleek in design. The counter up front is a modest in display. The owner has exhibited her medals in sports in one corner of the place. Their furniture boasts of wood and jute. The lighting fixtures are formed from baskets of thatch like material. The large restaurant can seat about 80 people at a time indoors as well as in the balcony. But he café does not encourage people to sit for hours working on laptops and writing journals. Such customers are strictly instructed to keep munching or sipping on something, or pay Rs 250 per hour for occupying a table. Instruction stickers are glued onto every table for explicit directions to all those who think of the café as a freebie workplace. The café opens prompt morning at 7am for all the early bird breakfast munchers.

Lovely place, I've had a lot of get togethers at Qahwa with my friends yoga group. Coffee is the best, and the newest addition of biryani is amazing. I always enjoy the cakes, especially almond honey cake spiced ginger cake. Their pizzas are fresh delicious. Good job!

This is a quaint little place in front of the IIT in the SDA market. We ordered a few things in breakfast and they came out nice. I've had better breakfasts but still nothing to complain. Moreover it opens super early so we reached around 7:30 and it felt so nice to be only one of the few people in the restaurant. The ambience is very simple and you have to pay nominal table charges if you just need to go work there and don't want to order which is a nice concept. Overall liked the place.
