Zha café- perfect place to hangout!

One evening me along with my friends were wondering as to where to hang out.  We were in the Besant Nagar area and all we could think of was the beach or more popularly known as “bessy” by youngsters. Suddenly a friend came with a suggestion, “hey how about zha café? “ We all had the “what is that?” look on our face.  And then we decided to go there just to see what is so exciting about the café that we haven’t heard of!  We see the entrance of the café and look puzzled if it is really a café or a home run café because the building was an ancient independent house. So as we enter with a sense of hesitancy, a waiter receives us. “Please come in mam, where would you like to sit?” We look around and find few tables in the hall and the waiter suggests that there are rooms as well. So we found a Rajasthani themed room, snake and ladder room ( yes! You read it right! A table that has the snake and ladder chart and you get to play it!), bean bag room and so on. So we chose the game room and the first thing that came to my mind was.. PRIVACY!! Yes, the café has a good privacy and it’s like you are entering a house that serves whatever you want that’s on the menu. So we check out the Menu card and to our surprise we find dishes like Karupatti coffee, sukku kaapi (coffee)vaazhaipoo vada, varieties of sandwiches, milkshakes  etc. The eyes that saw cappuccino, burger, samosas etc where surprised to see such traditional items that were just heard off from our parents or grandparents. So after a long discussion we decided on the menu. Next, we find the table that has the popular snake and ladder chart and yes what do a group of girls do when they find such stuffs? There we start playing. The order comes and we happily relish the dishes while playing. This gave a feeling as if we were at a friend’s place and not a café and we realized this when we received the bill. So, a happy one hour was spent with a different experience and we leave with a sense of satisfaction and that the evening was not wasted. 

For those curious to visit, it is right opposite to Bharath School, Kamarajar avenue, Besant Nagar. Mind you, the waiters do not kick you out so you can spend a real long quality time with your friends or your partner. It is also a good place for parties!
