It’s interesting to see how cafés have become an integral part of people’s lives. some love carrying their laptops to a cosy spot and working over a cup of coffee, while others head there to unwind with friends on weekends. Whether it’s catching up, enjoying good food and coffee, or simply spending some quiet me-time with a book, cafés offer something for everyone. City’s beloved Tiger Lily Bistro has now opened a new outlet in the Financial District, making it a perfect hangout spot for the foodies, working and IT crowd in the area.
A perfectly classy spot, the café welcomes you with a chic coffee counter where you can watch baristas brewing specialty coffees. The space features comfortable wooden chairs and an alfresco dining area surrounded by greenery, perfect for enjoying good food in a relaxed setting. For workaholics who love their coffee, there’s also a dedicated workstation on the first floor.
We began with a comforting Cappuccino, perfectly frothy and served with a cookie on the side. since breakfast is a big draw here, we opted for the classic truffle scrambled eggs on toast, a perfectly crisp base topped with soft, creamy scrambled eggs and fresh greens, making for an ideal start. Next, we moved on to an interest ing fusion dish, Avocado hummus with ghee roast chicken and Khakhra. the flavourful avocado hummus came with succulent ghee-roast chicken cooked in traditional local spices, placed right at the centre. For a crunchy twist, crisp khakhra pieces were thoughtfully tucked into the hummus. such a clever and delightful combination! the pancakes weren’t bad either. We went for the Classic soufflé pancake, soft, fluffy, and airy, served with quintessential maple syrup and a generous drizzle of chocolate on top. One bite and it truly tugged at our heartstrings. From the Bowls section, we ordered the Khao suey, consisting of Burmese noodles cooked with paneer and vegetables. It came with an array of condiments served in tiny bowls, which showed brown fried garlic and onions, lemon wedges, coriander leaves, peanuts, and chilli oil. We mixed them all into our Khao suey and savoured every bite happily.
It was lovely to see the space buzzing with a young crowd, some catching up with friends while others simply enjoying their cuppa. From the cold brew selection, we tried the Mixed berry latte, which was perfectly crafted and gave us that much-needed caffeine kick. overall, it made for an enjoyable visit.
Rs 1,800 for two.
At Financial District.
