    โ€ขI visited this cafe in 2015 during my early college days and it was one of the first cafes I visited in Chennai. It is located inside a house, hence the name. The main dining area is well-lit with natural light and adds to the ambience. It also has other seating areas for couples, and groups. โ€ขThe presentation is amazing. The shakes were served in glasses which looked like camera lenses. That was pretty cool! โ€ขThe food isn't that good though. We ordered two gravies and butter naans. The flavour was off and the dishes didn't seem fresh.

    This place is a hidden gem in Chennai. Visited this place out of curiosity once and went back a million times just to chill with friends. The cutting chai is a must try. The owners are amazing people. Very friendly and courteous. This place is a big thumbs up!

    Wow...Best place to have a cup of Tea.. Especially Pav Baji and many more..It's really awesome place to spend time with friends .They have mind blowing Monthly Membership Packages also. Dont miss it make use of monthly membership packages and am sure that what ever time you are gonna spend there is worth and the amount you are going to pay for membership will also be Worth spending. if you are cricket lover then if you like spending time with friends to watch cricket this is the right place for you..Even they have some Friday comedy Galatta events and some Indian youth association events happens every month..Finally I can say the best co-workers place in the Chennai city. staff over there are very down to earth and they serve the food very fast and tasty too... No Disturbance and very Good place to spend time over here. Well Maintained AC Rooms to sit and relax .. I wish them to have many more Branches like this innovative startups in future..

    Best place I have ever seen in Chennai. It's not only a place to eat. It's more then that. I can't explain this in this review. As a trainer I'm recommending my students to visit and utilizes it. Best place to share your knowledge and show up your talent. UDH have a stage here. It's suites for young people. Have to visit once then you'll never go anywhere. But menu is less?.

    All the below mentioned things are not my -ve review but like to say something openly... I went to this place 2 weeks back with my friend. They have huge seating like in & out-door and upstairs. Service and hospitality are really good. here to go... 1. There is no proper menu card, and in current menu (laminated xerox copy) price Not mentioned. 2. Two pieces of Laccha Paratha with simple Panner gravy. **if u really want to taste nice Laccha, pls visit "Lucy da Punjabi" in MGR road, Perungudi. 3. Two pieces of Triangular Paratha - this very normal chappati with salty Aaloo gravy cost @ 95, and you will get this in road side shop for Rs.30 with super Kurma and Saalna. 4. Next Delhi Chole Bhatur - NO COMMENTS. Please visit Gupta Bhavan to taste the best @ 105 rupees. 5. Finally, only thing feel good was "Lassi" ๐Ÿ‘ Expensive for Very average food !!๐Ÿ™‚

    Located in a street, this place can be missed easily but if you stop by there tea is worth it..except the tea there is a small menu to choose from but everything from that small menu is worth it. Rooftop is very cozy and the indoors have a very hippie vibe to it. Staff is also very helpfull.

    Don't know how I missed this till now. It's a must place to visit with a very good art work and good food. You can also pick a book from the list and keep reading it while enjoying the delicious food.

    Friendly staff and good place to hang out with friends and also for work. Decent rates but not every dish is that good. One should probably avoid the regular items that you expect at a normal restaurant. Go for new and uncommon ones.

    I love eating new varieties of food, cuz why not? Life is too short to stick onto just one menu or a particular type of cuisine and if you're a foody you know why ๐Ÿ˜‰ adventures are all the escape you need. ๐Ÿ–ค When I was invited to Urban Desi House I was a bit skeptical because of the name,but oh boy! How I regretted not going there earlier after I paid my first visit! From the theme to the ambience to the food... everything is just perfect! So perfect that it lifts your spirit and lightens your mood... No matter how bad your day was just retreat to Urban Desi House eat.sip.relax and trust me it's cheaper than all those expensive therapies and spa treatments. The place also hosts a number of shows if you're into entertainment and want a spot to showcase your talent. I've fallen heads over heels in love with this place,and it's now my happy place cuz they've good food,books, ambience,lights and most of all?! They're pet friendly!! How awesome is that?!!! So head over to Urban Desi House today! And give yourself the much needed break!! Follow them for updates on offers.. they're oh so tempting! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜ Try my favourites? Cutting chai,french toast sweet, Mexican Burritos and potato wedges ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ”ฅ

  • 4/5 Sabarish R. 7 years ago on Google
    Nice place to sit back anf relax with friends. Only downside is that you cannot be here with a group of morr than 5. Place is too small for that. Also you have to go to the counter to order. Since its a small place with only three rooms, they can do a table service.

  • 3/5 dhanasekaran v. 4 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Aarthee S. 5 years ago on Google
    A cozy eatery in the streets of thoraipakkam . They have made the best out of the space and the device is pretty decent . Soothing lightings and desi interiors . However , the seatings are less and you can't hit the place with huge gangs or family . We tried 1. cheesy jalapeno poppers - really good 2. Chilli garlic potato pops - average . 3. Vada pav - there was no vada in the vada pav and instead there was a thick layer of potato Subji . It was not very impressive. 4 . Chole bhature - it was pretty good. VFM - 4/5 Ambience - 3/5
