Absolutely loved this cafe. The tea is exceptional and the momos are to die for. But what truly sets this place apart is the warm hospitality of Miss Beli Majumdar. She's an amazing host who makes you feel right at home. Highly recommended for a cozy atmosphere, delicious food and outstanding service. Five stars all the way

This cafe right on the main road, is for sure one of the best places in Guwahati. The ambience is peaceful, calm and very warm. The theme and aesthetics strike a note in the heart. The host is an incredibly hard working woman and she is very kind and hospitable. The food is absolutely delicious, fresh and the menu is quite sufficient. The varieties of Chai/Tea is sure to blow your mind and the service is top top quality. Perfect place to unwind, work, hangout or to just think on something. Feels homely.
