Writer's Cafe - Egmore - Cafe in Chennai - Chennai, India

Came here to Writers Cafe on a weekend for lunch and was a bit underwhelmed with the experience. The place was really crowded with long waiting lines, which was still ok since we weren't in a hurry. But what wasn't ok was the noise - the place is really very noisy and the atmosphere completely killed the vibe of a quiet writers cafe I was expecting. The staff was under immense pressure to catch up with all the orders and ours was forgotten in the process. Had to chase the staff multiple times to get our food. The pesto pasta was more like noodles in a soup and tasted nothing like pesto. Guess I should have followed the crowd and ordered the breads which looked much more interesting. The desserts were really good though, definitely worth trying. The team running this place has a really inspiring story and a great mission, so I would definitely come back to give them another try, but maybe on a week day.

Everything - food, service, ambience was in the region of average to slightly above average. Maybe because we were there on a busy Sunday evening! But still was expecting it to be a little better. But my biggest disappointment was on the salad of all the things!!! The menu card said watermelon jalapeno cheese salad but what I got had watermelon, lettuce and mayonnaise! Such a let down! Other items like I mentioned was just ok.

One of the popular cafe in chennai where you can enjoy food and chit chat with your friends and family. The ambience was good and there is a small book stall near the entrance. The service was good. We ordered peach ice tea and Macchiato both were quite strong so could not enjoy much . We had fish fingers, chicken fry bits and chicken stroganoff with butter rice and everything was very yummy. They have a wide variety of dessert options in display which one can go and select. Overall a nice cafe to enjoy

I am a frequent visitor. food quality is always very good. Their chicken BBQ pizza is a must try. Chicken Alfredo and cold coffee is also good. love their range of desserts! The service time can be improved.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Writer's Cafe in Egmore, and I must say that the experience was nothing short of delightful. From the ambiance to the exceptional food, this cafe exceeded my expectations in every way. Let's start with the highlights of my dining experience. The English Breakfast Platter was simply outstanding. It featured all the classic components of a traditional English breakfast, including perfectly cooked bacon, sausages, eggs, grilled tomatoes, and toast. Each item was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. It was a hearty and satisfying way to start the day. Another standout dish was the Lemon Sticky Chicken. The chicken was tender, succulent, and had a beautiful balance of flavors. The zesty lemon sauce added a refreshing tang to the dish, making it a delightful combination of sweet and savory. The Chicken Pizza was another winner. The thin crust was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, providing the perfect base for the generous toppings of tender chicken, gooey cheese, and fresh vegetables. It was a flavorful and well-executed pizza that left me craving for more. Now, let's talk about desserts. The Death by Chocolate Cake was a chocolate lover's dream come true. It was rich, decadent, and incredibly indulgent. Every bite was a blissful explosion of chocolate flavors, and the moist texture of the cake made it even more delightful. Finally, the Danish Croissant deserves a special mention. It was flaky, buttery, and filled with a delicious almond paste. The combination of the crisp pastry and the sweet filling was heavenly. It was a perfect treat for a light snack or a quick pick-me-up. Aside from the exceptional food, Writer's Cafe in Egmore also boasts a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The decor is reminiscent of a quaint European cafe, with bookshelves filled with literary classics and comfortable seating arrangements. It's an ideal place to relax, unwind, and enjoy a delicious meal while immersing yourself in a good book. In conclusion, my dining experience at Writer's Cafe in Egmore was a memorable one. The English Breakfast Platter, Lemon Sticky Chicken, Chicken Pizza, Death by Chocolate Cake, and Danish Croissant were all outstanding in taste and presentation. The cafe itself exuded a charming and relaxing ambiance. If you're looking for a place to savor delectable food and enjoy a cozy atmosphere, Writer's Cafe should be at the top of your list.

Has become my recent favourite- whenever i get bored or feel like i wanna have something this is my go to place . Wish they have more soup options or atleast change other soup - I'm bored of cream of mushroom now . 1. Potato wedges is really nice 2. mango ice cream is amazing ( must try ) 3 . Chicken breast & potato mash was good 4. Pizza - thin crust, nice taste can actually give a try . Have tried many dishes here but currently have no photos One go to place with your friends , very reasonable price , worthy going .

Very convenient location, I was at VFS and this cafe is three minutes' walk from there. I ordered grilled chicken with rice and a fresh watermelon juice. I absolutely enjoyed my meal although the watermelon juice had seeds crushed into it which wasn't as per my liking, perhaps I should've expressed that in the beginning. The staff are very courteous and accommodating. Will definitely visit again.

One of my favourite place is Chennai which has amazing food and ambiance been here many times, will comeback many more times !!! Pasta and Flammkuchen is my favourite :) Coffe and their biscuits are yumm!!! I'm not a fan of their deserts, but few are good Books and this place is the best combo ;)
