    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.

    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.

    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.

    The hot chocolate served by then is to die for. A little less cozy during winters, Qahwa is simply amazing due to the sheer quality of foid and drink options available. The iced tea was also quite yummy. There was an overload of mushrooms on the sandwich. Their fresh pressed coffee is amazing too, specially when paired with a butter croissant. All in all, Qahwa is a definite go for if you are in mood for some yummy hot chocolate with cinnamon sauce.

    The place was hard to find, was extremely expensive for a cup of tea (INR 150) and the food was subpar. The WiFi isn't good and isn't there own, literally went on two pages and it said I had used the given amount of data. Also they have a very rude sign saying they will charge you INR 250 PER HOUR if you use the table for office work. Not impressed.

    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!

    Good food and drinks, great ambience, should definitely visit once, I'll recommend for sure. It's a small cozy space with indoor and outdoor sitting arrangements. The staff is friendly, affordable place.

    Hidden around the corner from a more traditionally corporate coffee place, qahwa offers a charming atmosphere, espresso drinks, and great breakfast fare. A bit hard to find, but worth it.

    The quality of food and drinks is quite average compared to other good breakfast joints. Plus the most disappointing thing is the quantity of food.
