Green Cafe is a place for organic vegetarian food and it manages to cross over the line quite amicably. It is located in T Nagar in a little lane on the backside of Natesan Park. The place is small and there isn't much to harp on the ambiance factor. It is neat and clean and seems to be doing adequate justice within it's limited boundary. They have this concept of no plastic whatsoever and seem to stick to the rules tightly. Even the seating is made up of recycled material.
We were invited for an on the house meal to savour their signature offerings. We started our sojourn with a traditional twist in the form of a Panagam. Then came the Vazhai Thundu soup which was light, appetizing and seemed like a good digester. Next came the Ragi Kozhukattai resembling a sweetened chocolate ball which tasted yum and the paniyarams which went really well with the onion chutney.
And completely off the hook arrived the Chilly Garlic potato and Chilli Idly both which seemed out of place. Not that it tasted badly but turned out to be an aberration in this green place. In the main course section we had chappathi with kurma of which the kurma was a bit of a let down. We also had keera dosai and pongal both which were wonderful and it went jocularly well with their lip smacking sambar. For desserts and in between the meals we also got served some sweetened delicacies all of which tasted great.
Overall the food was pleasing. The service was very quick and we kept being showered with items continously one after the other. The pricing on a glance seems reasonable. What surprised me was the number of options in store. I didn't imagine there will be so many choices in the organic genre with the boosted fact of the food also tasting pretty good. For the tried and tested tongue this might not appease much, but for a change this surely ain't a bad choice. Green cafe at least based on my dining experience surely passed the test with flying colors.
