Food and beverage are mediocre at best and unreasonably overpriced. Ambience isnt too bad though the music drowns out everything and spoils it. Go if you have time to kill cause the food takes quite a while to reach the table.Only upside to this place is the hospitality, even got a discount.

Pathetic place. We have ordered three types of burger, a pasta and beef steak. After one hour of waiting got the burger one by one which all tasted the same, the pasta and steak was over saucy and was the quantity of the portion was very less for the price which is a little over 400rs. The food here is overpriced and the place is mediocre place. I personal dont recommend anyone to visit old skool bistro and get looted by the management.Have read a similar review on a page called Eat at Trivandrum* which apparently they disabled the comment.And also we have visted the place on a time where there was covid restrictions and restaurants with open spaces only could provide dine in facility to the customer, which old skool bistro has and when we demanded to go to the terrace, the girl who came to take the order told the roof top is closed. Then again after sometime there was some inspection from a police officer to the restaurant and again the girl came running towards us and asked us to put on our masks as there is a inspection happening. Its high time places like this should be shut down.

Iam visiting oldskool cafe for the past 3 yrs (old bistro). My schl was near to that cafe so we used to hangout there. Everytime we went we had a beautiful time. But this time everything was different. New oldskool succeeded in maintaining a cool ambience. But the taste they provided not came upto the price. I ordered a bbq chicken Burger for 250/- and there was nthng to eat. The burger was so small and didnt meet expectations. Also we ordered some milkshakes. Everything was too sweet. We cant finish that. And also the staffs are too rude . They wont give us a privacy just watching us all the time. And thats so horrible. We pick cafes instead of normal restaurant bcoz we expect a standard behavior from the staffs and a good atmosphere. I personaly recommend dont go there as a couple. They will be watching you guys all the time And behave rudely 🙏🏻🤷🏻‍♀️

As taste wise this restaurant is good . Ambience is superb . Must go to terrace space it is good to sit in open air. Milkshakesand burgers are good . But these ppl made us wait for each and every food we ordered . When we got burger it took more than 30 min and for milkshake another 30 min waiting is too much

A great place to hangout .Must visit, if you are really a foodie. There is a great menu to choose from. Though I only have this picture from my last visit, I had also tried their Chicken steak in brown sauce which was yummy and also their BBQ chicken steak burger which was ok. Altogether the ambience was great, especially if you are planning a dinner there.

A cool cafe n diner with a nice aura inside especially the roof top is half open covered with greeneries and their lightings are 😎 me... Its spacious and accomodates plenty . The food is tasty and are really good. We had chiken n beef burger and they were really juicy n mouth watery. Loved the drinks too. Steaks and club sandwiches are the most ordered menu here. We had cold coffee and strawberry shake .. were good . Liked it. Little costly but still worth for the food quality and presentation. We had food for three at 1000 bucks.The ambience in roof top is too good. And u can click few snaps as its really cool der.Coming to cons...the wait is never ending one.. we ordered at 1850 and got served one by one slowly and steadily and finally got served completely by 2000. Reason from dem ( nobody asked though) was Too Much Rush . The wait os the only negative factor we found..but that single factor is really that matters.May be wen a group of friends are there , it wont matter.So food quality 5/5Ambience 5/5Cost 4/5Service 2/5

Review №14

I hope changes are made, Atleast to the dishes we had.The beef steak felt like it was made of the rubber from a Tyre. And the sauce wasnt good.Cheesy burger... Has a tiny tiny amount of cheese in the center of a pretty dry Patti.Ambience is good. But hey food is the primary thing in a restaurant.

Got in here for dinner ! Love the ambiance & very creatively done with the bamboos and the logs! Food is quite okey; that’s all I can say, but won’t disappointed. We have ordered some French fries , chicken sizzlers, salad and beef steak & hot sizzler brownie which is all time favourite! Quantity is good. But the food was quite cold thou we ordered hot dishes except the sizzler! The staff was well behaved and great service ! I recommend.

Pretty expensive if im being honest. We just had a burger,pasta and a milkshake and with gst of about 50 rs , out total was 990 rupees. I mean there are so many other alternative cafes which doesnt charge you this much.The food looked really really small in quantity but our tummys got surprisingly full. Wonder what kind of chemicals they adding to make us feel full. Sorry to say this , but if you re on a budget just skip this place 😑

An excellent continental breakfast experience. The Viking breakfast is on the meatier side with choice of eggs, salami,sausage,steak, mashed potatoes, sauted mushrooms and gravy. When the breakfast arrived, my expectations continued to be exceeded. By the end of the meal I am planning my next visit.

Review №21

The budget bistro in the city, and that too, rich in taste. A steak for around Rs 250 and a club sandwich for around Rs 200. The chicken club sandwich is 4 pieces of bread, crammed with layers of omelet, veggies and non-veg patty, then sliced into four triangular shapes. The Tuna club sandwich is a real juicy, with a mashed layer of tuna in white sauce in the bread layers.The starters are satisfactory, but low in portion. Their steaks are succulent and comes in brown sauce and alfredo sauce, with a side of grilled veggies, mashed potato or fries. The burgers are delicious too and are big enough to fill an average appetite. Their subs, lasagnas, drinks and shakes are not the best, but still worth having.The bistro relocated from Kuravankonam, earlier known as truffles, was designed bigger and better. The interior is modestly splendid- plush pine-wood furniture, rustic sunburnt flooring, plant trough wall and warm incandescent lighting. The terrace floor is a semi open dining area that is all the more charming, especially after nightfall when all the bright lights shine all over the spaces.A meal for a group of 2 would not cost above Rs 500. So eat till your heart’s content, cuz it ain’t costing you much.

As I remember going into this place a year ago and tasting their steak I thought dang this is good, will the quality last forever?Its a tricky situation with Supremes outlets around the corner and you being a steak house need to up your game but that didnt happen. But still its a nice place for a couple or trio on an evening.

OldSkool Cafe & Diner gives an aesthetic setup where one can experience the ambience with a better outlook. I had ordered a grilled beef cheese burger and crushed ice lemon juice. The stuffings were really good and tasteful. A must visit place in which one can see and relax in a comfy way.

RECENT REVIEW !!!I Ordered via UberEATS, and even though I ordered only a Veg Burger, I have to say that it was one of the best Burger that I had in a long time.The best part is that it also came with a decent amount of fries, unlike certain other burger joints around. The fries were a great accompaniment to the burger.I would surely recommend Olds Cool Bistro.Loved it , cant wait to try their Non - veg Burgers. Thank you.

Olds cool bistro is a decent place to have steaks and salads. The smoked chicken with paprika was both filling and delicious, coupled with Rasta Pasta salad which was okay, was rich with pepperonis and sausages. The quality of food served is satisfactory. The ambience is nice, although the table was considerably smaller for two people.

Loved their soft and tenderloin beef burger and the olds school Sunday bbq steak(chicken). The bbq sauce along with the mashed potatoes made it a dashing combo. We ordered some chilli french fries as a starter, that was also pretty good. Overall, my tummy was satisfied and happy.

Absolutely one of the best hangout places around. A rugged ambience, we can choose a cold indoor seating or the semi open roof-top seating (could get slightly warm here).The food served was an absolute joy everytime.The Lasagne to the sandwiches to the steaks, everything was really good.Might be a little pricy but everytime I walked out of that door or even ordered food from there. It was always a satisfying experience.

Undoubtedly one of the best in Trivandrum. Been there so many times and tried almost everything. This is the only place I saw were we could get a super Veg Steak. Menu is short. But all the items are really good. Also the fresh juices. For best ambience, always opt for the terrace floor.The only sad side I felt is that hot beverages are missing in the menu. Hope they will include few soon. Atleast regular coffee.Woow.. Updated.. They have added coffee, tea and many more 😍

One of the worst service! We ordered and after 20 min they said they missed our order and took the order again and We waited for more an hour and they still didnt serve the food and and they didnt even serve us water. They kept saying they were having a rush hour despite the place being almost empty apart from 2 or 3 table. They werent even apologetic for the whole situation. It was a very disappointing experience.

OLDS COOL BISTRO- the capping destination for foodies craving for the real taste of European cuisines- Italian pastas, Beef steaks, Hawaiian salad, Triple-decker hamburgers- whatever it may be...Staple orderings start with a soup- Cream of Chicken (best in class), followed by a starter- crispy French fries, classic Chicken nuggets and the best-in-class Fish finger.Appetising main course foods range from a sumptuous salads (solely appetising for some) or burgers, sandwiches, pastas, steaks or wraps.Among the hamburger category, Chicken/Beef Tower burger is the bestselling one. (really appetizing af!) Olds Cool Chicken burger or BBQ Beef steak burger can be worth a try!!Steaks are really not popular among conventional restaurants, but a bit craving too for foodies. Chicken steaks come with different flavoured sauces- Brown, Pesto, White, Hot garlic. BBQ chicken steak is another counterpart, which is top-recommended.Pastas are not very uncommon, still best pastas are really flimsy. Best-in-class pastas are available here (there are competitors either, no doubt!!).Chicken Alfredo, Chicken Red Chilly Sauce, Beef bolognese- really scrumptious...Chicken Mexican wrap stands another chance to try among the main course. To conclude with, Olds Cool special milkshakes surely dominate in this category. Truffle Ecstasy, Oreo madness, Ministry Chocolate, White Magic, Peanut Butter- no confusion, these are among the popular ones in the milkshake tier.Regular visits are not truly recommending, instead, occasional visits prove to be worth. Another highlight of the restaurant is its usage of immensely unprocessed and virginal veggies- freshness highlighted within the taste and crispness of the native broccoli, celery & salad cucumbers.

One thing you have to keep in mind is when you order many items together just tell them in what order you need it.otherwise they will bring everything together which might trouble you 😆 When we went they didnt have the swiping payment working, we payed via paytm. Its a nice place to go especially at night, coz the place will all be lighten up at night!!!
