Amidst the rush of joints; mainly south-indian, and otherwise, roadside stalls, 'The Teapot' brews its fresh concoction right into your face, mainly spearheaded by the owner + cook who personally caters to not just the food, but to work up a casual demeanour. Steering away from the stereotyped Barista and Cafe Coffee Day, the range of food, here actually makes this a more do-able joint.
The day's specials embellish the chalk board, and includes a variety from chicken dhanshak and rice to masala sandwich to brown foccaccia veg/non-veg sandwiches to cheesy pastas to chocolate tarts and marshmellows.
A glass counter has pre-prepared quiches (chicken-n-cheese or veg-n-cheese), sub-sandwiches, rolls, and cutlets. Fresh crepes and omlettes with fillings of chicken, cheese, salami, are offered hot, by the lady. Waffles with a choice of toppings like honey, chocolate, or even eggs are prepared right in front of your eyes.
A combination of nuggets and chips serve as side portions. Dishes can be accentuated by adding extra cheese, extra meat, extra omlette, thus creating a giant sandwich out of a regular sandwich. The owner would be pleased to cater to one's DIY thingy, on special request.
Caffeinated drinks with a twist, and chilled drinks with lemonade, tang, etc. fit a size-able portion of the menu. Coffee with chocolate (hot and cold), hot chocolate with marshmallows, are brewed up fresh.
What works in favour of this place is that it has chipped off the goodies off varied options to include various segments and made a whole, mixed-menu, pie out of it. In the cosmos of food joints and cafes, this place comes across as a seamless cross between piecemeal food options and no specific cuisine, dispersed in a casual setting.
