Triveni Terrace Café is minimalism at its best, from the menu to the décor everything scores a perfect 10. It belongs to the category of an alternate café (if at all there is such a category). Contemporaries of Triveni Terrace Café are Café Lota, Cha Bar, Roots Café and Potbelly to name a few. Triveni Terrace Café scores the highest on the price factor.

The rugged white walls, and the blue window panes with the alfresco seating gives the feel of a Mediterranean restaurant. The adjacent amphitheater with grass laid between the steps adds to the tranquil atmosphere. The alfresco seating area has ample air coolers to keep the temperature under control.

Triveni’s menu has mostly Indian dishes, and they have a few regional specialties such as the vegetarian Kashmiri platter, Triveni fish curry (with spices from Kerala) and Mutton Khichada. The chef has used spices native to the region to where the dish belongs, so the flavours are unique. Like in the Kashmiri platter, the dum aloo has a red chilli powder, which is from the valley, it is soft on the palate and strong on the stomach. Whether the taste is authentic or not is a difficult question to answer, but to explores it is a good bet.

The quality of the taste can also be understood from the juices. The Bel sherbet was anything that is found in the street juice corners, it was light and healthy and didn’t have added sugar in it.

It definitely scores on the price factor because they don’t levy a service charge, so the damage is just the price of the food and the GST.
