    One of the best places for coffee dates or a get together, their food and service never fail. I've been trying their asparagus tempura sushi,burnt garlic chicken and pizza Bianco and since then became a hug fan. Their staff is very courteous in helping you with the menu and always being super calm with your personal requirements. Quality with good food and service just make the whole dining experience so delighful. Must go to place for coffee addicts!

    It's a cafe situated near Essex Farms in south Delhi. The ambience is good, but it was crowded when I visited. Portion size of the food was good too, we had quiona salad, pasta and cold coffee. Parking was an issue, otherwise all is good and I would recommend coming here.

    This posh little spot was a delicious delight. My wife and I were seeking something new for breakfast and found this place within walking distance of our B&B. The service was great me kind. The eggs Benedict I had was amazing. My wife doesn't even like eggs, but when she had some she kept eating it! The French Toast she got was comically beautiful and as rich as could be. The coffee drink and mango smoothie were great. The granola on the mango smoothie was fantastic.

    The ambience is lovely, the staff are courteous, and the food portions are apt. Highly recommended, but it could be a tad costly. They even have a valet service.

    I visited Cafe Tesu last weekend and I loved the food they served. I tried Asian Dumpling (vegetarian) And I feel in love with the dips they provided, the dumplings were also very soft and full of flavours. Mango juice was too sweet for me and it kinda killed the mood I also tried Mediterranean platter and the presentation was amazing. Falafel was little dry but I loved hummus and olives.

    We had a fantastic time at the café. They serve a diverse range of cuisines, creating a delightful culinary experience. The cozy and charming interior design adds to the overall ambiance. The service was commendable, and the visually stunning dishes were not only appetizing but also incredibly delicious.

    Went there for a birthday brunch, and had a really good experience. The cafe has a beautiful ambience, with an amazing crowd. The service is pretty good and the food was really delicious. We ordered spinach and ricotta ravioli with roasted garlic veloute, asian vegetable dumpling. Drinks were good as well. Would totally recommend it.

    We have just returned from a long trip from New York and were hunting for a good breakfast place in Delhi. While I have been to Essex Farms before and even at Cafe Tesu earlier, never thought of it as a breakfast place. Nothing else was open at 8 am so walked in, it was the first time we saw how amazing the entire menu is for the breakfast. The coffee was perfect, the server courteous and the Eggs Benedict with salmon that I ordered was delicious. I devoured on it quickly. The other dishes my wife and daughter ordered had a bit of a fusion Indian taste and hence they didn’t like it so much. The ambiance was amazing as always. A definite must visit again.

    BREAKFAST WAS SO GOOD I FORGOT TO TAKE PHOTOS. It was amazing - from the ease of parking, to the courteous staff providing excellent and quick service - to the food being served in absolutely beautiful presentations that could compete with 5 star hotel restaurants - and ofcourse the taste. Simply amazing. 5/5 experience. Already planning to visit again

  • 5/5 Prakriti D. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place and the vibe. Coffee is great here, so is the food. Recommended dishes amongst what we tried are Eggs Benedict for breakfast and the pasta for other times. Waffles were a tad too chocolatey and sweet for our taste (maybe we should've ordered classic) and the french fries were alright. But would love to try their varied menu for more. Great quiet place to hang out with friends or family, and was very accommodating of both kids in the group. Highly recommened.

    Ambience of the place was really lovely. The decor is very pretty, makes you feel transported out of the city. Ordered the bruschetta, which was very good, and the sweet potato truffle fries. The fries were a bit dry, but the dip they came with was fantastic. For dessert, we had the chocolate coffee tart, which was very rich, but well-made. A hint of salt with the rich coffee and chocolate made it the perfect end to the meal.

    I really enjoyed my dinner here! The food was excellent! Service was fantastic too! The ambience was perfect! The air conditioning was also awesome! Nice & cold, a great escape from the Delhi heat. Parking available & wifi too. The servers are dressed well & are fun yet professional. The waiter who wears glasses - he’s awesome

    Good ambience with better food. Went for a sunday lunch with friends the place was buzzing with people, and live music. Food and drinks were great. We ordered peri peri chicken pizza, Portuguese chicken sandwich, sushi, spaghetti pasta, all the dishes tasted great. Would definitely recommend the pasta and sandwich. Good tasting cocktails, we had elder tree and tesu sunshine , elder tree is a must try. only let down was the brownie with icecream, it wasnt a brownie and more of a choclate slab served with icecream.

    We went here for coffee. Mocha, espresso, "Tesu Brew" and hazelnut cappuccino. Firs the coffee weren't hot enough so we had to request for another hotter coffee, then the Tesu they served was so much of water and was very diluted, not good too. The place has good interiors, decently lit place, decent seating, good vibe and ambiance. The staff isn't prompt enough, slow in serving and understanding the orders. The coffee and beans were just okay. Overall experience- 6/10 Nothing great, nothing too bad about this place. Just average. The staff response could be way better

    We explore new places in Delhi NCR for breakfast. So we came across Cafe Tesu. Located on Arbindo Marg, just next to the IIT Crossing. Very easy to find. Nice place. Very well situated and well maintained. The decorations was really eye catching and pleasing. When we reached there were not many people but slowly it got crowded. The menu is good and alot of options for both vegetarian and non vegetarian people. We ordered Mushroom Omelet and Poha with there own Cold Brew coffee. The food was really tasty. The Omelet was perfectly prepared and so was the poha. It was not dry. The staff was very polite and responsive and they got us the breakfast in no time. 5 start to the service. Would highly recommend for breakfast and other meals too.

    This one of the amazing places to visit for a delicious breakfast or brunch. It is located at Essex farms and is a delight for coffee lovers. We had plowman’s veggie sandwich and hazelnut lattes. I must say we enjoyed our brunch as the food, service and ambience is really nice.

    Everything about this place is amazing. The food,the service, the ambience. We ordered Asian vegetables dumplings, and it was so delicious,the layer along with their chutneys made it a perfect dish.Cold coffee frappe is wow & absolutely yummylicious.The way they present their dishes is fabulous. Their blueberry cheesecake is awesome and so tasty. The place was so lively, and the vibes were great. We went on Sunday so we waited for some time but their taste and service made everything perfect. A must try place for a beautiful time with your loving partner. The place is a must go place to spend some beautiful quality time.

    The food here is very mid for the price they are serving, it’s way too pricey. The coffee is limited in options and they don’t taste the best as well. Service and ambience is good. Go and click good pictures there.

    The tables are too small xD Ambience is great, pizza and fries were awesome. Aglio olio not so great. There was live music also. Overall it was worth it (mostly due to the company I had and a very long discussion 😂)

    Cafe ambience is lovely but food is a big disappointment. The chicken in the pizza was smelly and bad service. Drinks were average. I will not recommend it for food but coffee was good.

  • 5/5 Aakriti J. 1 month ago on Google • 21 reviews New
    Always a good time at cafe Tesu. Ordered chilli garlic prawns, sweet potato fries and grilled chicken, 10/10 for all items. Waiting to try other items on their huge menu !!

    This is one of those few places that will provide you a holistic experience. Right from the food, to the service and ambience, everything was just spot on. Stay cautious, there might be waiting. So reach well in advance. Outdoor seating is preferable in winters. I tried the Mediterranean platter and sunny side up eggs and both were amazing. Valet parking is there but you might have to wait while collecting your vehicle as there is always a rush due to the place being so prominent and banquet halls in Essex premises.

  • 4/5 Food D. 6 months ago on Google
    It’s a nice soothing cafe in Essex farms compound. There is free parking available inside the compound. Weekends are crowded and you may not be able to park yourself so the valet does it for you and you need to tip him. Cafe has both inside and outside seating. Ample space and it’s decorated in pastels. For vegetarian lovers you may fall short of choices. We ordered for mezze platter, which when served was very nicely plated. There are 4 pitas, 4 falafel patties, 7 dips, olives & lavash. Falafel was nice with lots of sesame seeds. All the dips like hummus, tartar, salsa, roasted bell pepper were real tasty. Lavash was very soft and nice. Pickles were good too. This costed Rs 720 plus taxes as applicable. Had cappuccino, which was good. A cup for Rs 275. It’s expensive though and they don’t offer any discounts on Dineout or any apps or otherwise. Drinks are available Service was nice. Manish served as well & kept checking if anything was needed or everything was ok. They have bakery items too. High chairs are also available. Liked the cutlery.

    Went here on Saturday evening. Service - exceptionally polite staff and quick service. They don't make you wait and will politely help you through the menu Price - $$-$$$ What we ordered - tiramisu, frappe and Irish coffee and our bill was around 1550₹ Parking- was bit of an issue, we had to park little far as the parking in the venue had very minimum capacity. Cleanliness - perfectly clean and the fragrance of coffee was amazing. Spotless. Clean Would definitely go again

    The place offers a decent ambience that is very okay. There is nothing special about it. The food that they offered was good but wasn’t the very best. The service and hospitality was absolutely great. The staff was very polite and responsive. Washroom was really dirty and not at all clean. The prices are like any other cafe in south delhi. Overall a pretty decent place and worth a one time visit.

    What a wonderful experience at Cafe Tesu at Essex Farms. From food to ambience, everything is worth the praise. The interiors of the cafe are so modern and aesthetically appealing. I and my friend had gone to sit and work for 2-3 hours while satisfying our hunger, and we actually ended up spending complete 8-9 hours. The best part of the cafe is they don’t play loud music. You can not only sit and talk or work, but can also take meetings ;). Talking about food we started with the sumptuous Nutella waffle and coffee and continued with Chicken burger and Aglio Olio. Everything tasted AH AMAZING. I have to mention that the portion size is great for 2 people. One must make a visit to this cafe once, however, I am definitely visiting it again (and again).

    Beautiful restaurant with great aesthetics. Food is good but it's bit costly. We had periperi chicken sausage pizza 🍕 which was really good and mac n cheese which was a bit dry & required more cheese n flavour. Waiters are well trained, perfectly dressed, well mannered.

    Pros -Good location - Great ambience - Food tastes good - good portion size Cons - Servers are very rigid, don’t help a lot - asked for potatoes instead of mushrooms, denied - asked for orange juice instead of watermelon, denied again. -had to change my order due to rigidness. - ordered for benedict, got grapes as accompaniments - order was was not made as per instructions, had to send it back, same food and same plating was made and sent and still took 15-18 mins . - slow service

    The food is really good and tasty, although there are a limited number of options available for breakfast if you are a vegetarian. Still I had an amazing time 😉

  • 5/5 Avneet 9 months ago on Google
    This place is so lit. Everytime it's a good experience. Never for once I had complain in anything. From coffee to food , it's great. Desserts is love. Their slow baked gluten free chocolate dessert is to die for. ❤️. Loved their pizza , fish and chips is next level delicious. The ambience of the place , the service , the staff - 10/10 . My dessert order was being their closing time, they still processed it. I highly recommend it.

  • 4/5 Vihag G. 7 months ago on Google
    Food was top notch. service was really fast.. However, there was a smell on the plate as if the plates were dried using the same towel.. It's better to use tissues or have a machine. The atmosphere was awesome... it had a mix of young and middle age... we went for brunch and really loved the food especially the pancake..

  • 5/5 Ravi K. 5 months ago on Google
    Lovely little cafe . We had brunch here for a bday celebration and it was a pleasant experience . One of the dishes took unusually long ( and that’s why the 4 rating ) . Other than that the food was good the service was good . And the ambience is lovely . Won’t mind coming here again . Thanks team Tesu 👍

    If you're on the hunt for the ultimate breakfast spot, look no further than Cafe Test at Essex Farms! Our visit to Cafe Test was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we walked in, the cozy and inviting atmosphere set the stage for a memorable morning. We started our day with a steaming cup of coffee, and it was pure bliss. The aroma alone was enough to awaken our senses. The baristas here truly know their craft! Now, let's talk about their bagels. Oh, the bagels! Fresh, perfectly toasted, and with a variety of toppings to choose from, they were a heavenly breakfast choice. The balance of textures and flavors was spot on.

  • 4/5 Nivedita R. 2 years ago on Google
    The place had a good ambience to begin with. We had ordered LIITs and beer. The LIIT was great and was strong enough which was a plus point because normally bars don't make it that strong. Also, we had ordered chilli chicken and garlic bread. The chilli chicken was really good with soft and tender chicken chunks cooked in their chinese sauce and lots of spring onions. However, the garlic bread was bland and was not that exciting as such. They usually play old Hollywood numbers and pops. Overall a great place to hang out in the late evenings.

  • 5/5 Jai Kumar J. 2 years ago on Google
    The only place I found in Delhi which opens early morning and serves you feel good breakfast. From variety of healthy options including meals and shakes and coffee. And about the interiors and vines of this place is equally attractive as the food they serve you.

  • 5/5 Shobhna B. 4 months ago on Google
    Love the place the atmosphere the staff is polite and I enjoyed my coffee with a great book. If you are fond of sweet stuff try their Date with Devil it's like a date smoothie really nice. I had small interaction with Manish he is super nice one of the reason why I like the place the staff is humble and polite

  • 5/5 Shivani S. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a nice caffe with beautiful ambience and affordable prices. The staff is very generous and well behaved and as comapre to the rustique as these two are in front of each other I would say Cafe Tesu is much better in terms of pricing and food. The cold coffee, waffles, pizza everything was delicious and quality was not compromised. Overall a great experience...

    A very cosy and aesthetically built cafe with a large sitting space. You can sit outside as well as inside, depending upon your preference. We prefer inside by the window, from where we can see the busy street outside. Food is sumptuous but a bit on the costlier side. The servers are very polite and cheerful. Overall a great experience!

  • 5/5 Abhishek C. 2 years ago on Google
    A delightful place to binge a heart breakfast or brunch or lunch. Well, whatever suits your game. We recently landed up here on 15th August to catch a nice breakfast. All the items on the menu are freshly prepared and the taste is just terrific. The place is located within Essex Farms which is easy to reach and also allows ample parking. You can always visit this place for a nice date, a friendly brunch or with family. Juicy breakfast to healthy steaks and salads offered with Wine or Shakes whichever you fancy. We orderered Chicken Burger, French Toast, Orange Juice and Chicken Salad.

  • 4/5 Jonathan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Well lit ventilated and quaint cafe in the heart of Delhi. They have amazing ranges of coffees from all over the world. The pork sausages are nice and tender and they have a good breakfast spread. I will come again to try the lunch course which begins by 11.30 in the morning. Washrooms need to be cleaner and entry should be clearly mentioned.
