A beautiful place in ECR ambience is good but not great. You can celebrate birthday, dates and large family dinners. we had chosen buffet as per choice. Simple and delicious. Mock tails are refreshing and amazing 🤤 They have individual pvt space too.
We went to Kipling Cafe and had chicken fried rice and kebab.
The kebab was good, but the chicken fried rice was just okay. The service was very poor; we asked for hot water and it wasn't even served after 10-20 minutes.
Ordering food itself took very long, and there wasn't much crowd either. The ambiance was okay.
We didn't have a great experience there.
I think I had my expectations too high for this place.
One thing that put me off the most was the service. We had to keep reminding them to get the order from us.
Also, I understand that most staff don’t understand Tamil but it really would be nice if they knew at least English. It was difficult communicating with them when we could sparsely get hold of them. They messed up our celebration and kept us waayyy past their closing time which nothing to do from our end. We had to wait a long time to catch the eye of the staff and address us even there was no one else around.
The food was okay. It was decent. The decor for our celebration was good.
Im not a frequent cafe visitor, but i loved the ambience, we went around 6.45pm so there was very less crowd, we ordered
1.Chilly cheese garlic bread - loved it
2.Drunken chicken noodles- it was a bit different with slight chilly flavour, but it was good
3.honey mustard chicken - slightly the edges felt like eating paniyaram
But overall the food was good
Ambience wass excellent
If you want to have a slow relaxed evening to chill with you loved one , its a great place
We visited Kipling Cafe on August 31st for a team lunch with my colleagues, and it was a really pleasant experience. The ambiance is beautiful, blending nature with greenery all around, and they have both indoor and outdoor dining options along with a separate bar section. The place also offers birthday celebration packages.
We booked a table in advance, so there was no waiting time. Parking was free of charge, which was convenient. The food was decent – some dishes were really good, especially a few starters, but a couple felt like they were made from frozen items instead of fresh. Prices were not too high, which is a plus.
The restrooms were well maintained and clean. They also provide high chairs for kids and even prepare kid-friendly meals on request. After lunch, we walked to Akkarai beach, which is just 500 meters away – a perfect addition to the outing.
Overall, it was a great experience for a team lunch, and I’d recommend it for family gatherings or casual outings too.
