The touchless QR code ordering is super easy and the seated spaces are all comfy to sink into for any chat!!They have a lot of breads and cakes to try from. Should definitely give this place a try if you looking for something quite and It will impress you beyond your expectations, definitely!!

This is an excellent restaurant to go to. It is a lovely cafe with excellent food variety, incredible taste, exceptional service, and perfect pricing! For the experience that you have here and the quality of the food that they serve, they could certainly afford to charge more but the fact that they have such affordable pricing makes Zen Cafe one of the places you can visit frequently and one of the best places you can go to in general. The food that they post on instagram is exactly how it is served in the restaurant as well. The presentation of it is enticing and the food is delectable. Not to mention they have healthy options too! The ambience and atmosphere in the restaurant is very comfortable and relaxing as well. The staff members are prompt, kind, hospitable and welcoming. I would certainly recommend Zen Cafe to anybody. Must try the hot chocolate with almond milk and the chocolate croissant!

A very sweet cozy place. An ideal place to go an read a book on peace with good coffee.The menu had a variety of options. We called for their margarita pizza. The basil on it enhanced the flavour, the base was soft.The pasta was amazing as well. The ratio of the sauce was just perfect.They have a lot of breads and cakes to try from. Should definitely give this place a try if you looking for something quite and contemporary or maybe your zen

This is one of my favourite cafes in South Bombay. It’s my go-to place of comfort that I visit regularly despite it being 20 min away from home. The menu is concise and tasteful (literally and figuratively) and offers a decent selection. Orders come to the table pretty quickly too, and the staff is great. I love the vibe of Zen Cafe in general. One of my favourite things to order is the Salted Caramel Latte. I Highly recommend it..

Stumbled across this place as I was walking around Kala Ghoda and what an excellent find! I was looking for a place with good coffee and a place to read and I was impressed beyond my expectations. Lets start with the food: The coffee is absolutely excellently prepared. During my first visit, I cautiously ordered a mocha and asked for it to be properly hot (you know how any steamed milk drink tend to be lukewarm always) and was very very impressed with the attention to detail and the flavour. I then decided to order a grilled cheese (again, tentatively and because I was hungry but wanted something safe and hard to mess up) and MAN was it DELISH!! I had the capers, sundried tomato and arugula sourdough grilled cheese and it was just absolutely excellent. The attention to detail in prep carried over in the sandwich as well.Now to the ambience and service. Besides covid protocols (which are table stakes now) this place has a very clean and calming feel. Very nice ambient music and the seated spaces are all comfy enough to work from or sink into for a chat / to read.The service is also impeccable. The touchless QR code ordering is super easy and Sameer helped me with anything I needed over the lengthy time I was there, reading and working. Overall, a very nice experience. I hope this place doesnt get too crowded! (fingers crossed...)

Disappointed with foodZen cafe at lower Parel was my second home.I was happy that they switched to my vicinity in fort but yesterday the food at Zen really disappointed me.Tried my standard dishes which I use to order prior but with interiors I think even the taste of food have changed.Ordered food:1-Aam Pana (sour,very blend taste of mango and jaggery, balance of Indian spices were missing)2-Mango pizza (too sour )3-Teriyaki Tofu4-Panini Sandwich Cucumber,lettuce and tomato-(Need some dressing inside or else becomes to dry)5-Chocolate ganache-(Best part of the meal)Not worth visting

Beautiful place. Lovely ambiance, friendly staff. Beautiful decor. A menu to die for, I wanted to eat everything. Can heartily reccomend the Apple, cucumber and basil juice as well we the sourdough grilled cheese sandwich with caramelized onion and gherkin which literally made me drool and converted even my carb phobic husband.

Interesting place to spend your good time in this huge crowded city. It is basically located inside a Interior Decor shop but it has got good ambience and silence which makes the place more beautiful. The food menu has a lot of good options to try on. Milkshakes and coffee has got a good variety. Overall its a good place to spend time with your business meetups or casual meetings. Cheers.!!

A very quite, quaint and cozy place to have your Sunday Brunch with a good, hearty talk with friends. Its located in the plush streets of Kala Ghoda with high end fashion stores all around. The food is really amazing. We had the grilled veggies quesadillas and guacamole with chips which definitely tasted beyond our expectations. We also had a black coffee with ginger shot and turmeric froth. That was quite innovative. The place gets really busy at Sunday afternoon so the service might get delayed a bit. But the wait and patience is worth it since food tastes so good and fresh. Also, the service personnel is sweet and laborious. Though the prices are a bit high but you wont mind paying them at the end considering the overall experience that you get there.

A quaint cafe located in a small alley in kala ghoda. Filled with simple and minimalist interiors, this place is something that will catch your eyes. The interiors have a certain sense of calmness to them which makes this place a perfect little something to grab coffee in the evening.

The place and ambience is good but the food taste is highly ok. We ordered 1 zen plater jain which was tasteless only the falafel pockets were decent. Then we ordered a Risotto the taste was nice but the portion was very very less not even filling 1 person. They need a lot of improvement

Review №41

Honestly the quality of food was not upto expectationsWe ordered for an avocado sushi and in reality the size of one piece of the sushi was not enoughIt was like a miniature versionAnywhere else we get a proper piece but then here that big piece was cut into 2 small piecesVery disappointing and this plate was charged at 420 rsTotally not worth itPlease go somewhere else and don’t waste your time and money at this place

Had heard great things about this cafe but was very disappointed at lunch today. Most items on the menu werent available as ingredients werent there. The staff told us the chef and the manager come in at 1 pm which is why the items werent there. Loud construction work in the cafe further ruined the experience!

Nice ambience, and the place is relatively empty compared to other places in the area. If you are looking to enjoy some decent food in a peaceful environment, you will enjoy Zen Cafe. The menu is minimalistic in true Zen style, but the food is good. If you are a vegetarian, all the more reason to like this place - its pure veg.
