KIS Cafe is an absolute gem. The food is delicious and reasonably priced, making it easy to enjoy a meal without breaking the bank. The atmosphere is calm and quiet, which makes it a wonderful spot to sit down and work for hours without distraction. At the same time, the cozy vibes make it just as perfect for hanging out with friends, catching up over coffee, or even going on a relaxed date. What’s more, the cafe also offers various packages for events and workshops, making it a versatile space for both casual and organized gatherings. I’m honestly in love with this place—it’s one of those cafes that makes you want to keep coming back.

WOW! Best cafe I have visited in Chennai, and I plan to come back soon! Every dish was carefully crafted with delightful flavors (e.g., thin-crust pizza, alfredo pasta, cream of broccoli soup). The atmosphere is comfortable and polished, with a unique charm best experienced in person. Best of all, the owners and staff treat customers as family, with love & care for every detail.

Best café I've been to in India! Stunning decor, outstanding food and great service. We ordered so many things including: sausage croquettes, garlic bread, 2 types of pizzas, Caesar salad, 3 types of pasta, brownie, to name a few! (Not including drinks!) Must visit! Owners were lovely too! I never leave reviews but had to this time. You won't be disappointed!

It is a newly opened cafe in Kasturba Nagar on the 2nd main road (street just opposite Nilgiris). It is easy to identify with clear sign boards. Located on the 1st floor above Paloma clinic. I was tempted to visit due to their inaugural offer where we can get Unlimited Pasta along with unlimited beverages of our choice for just Rs.345 (including GST). Since it is a newly opened cafe, we can get a table with ease. Ambience is good with apt lighting, comfortable seating and background music . The menu is crisp with very limited options but they said it is just an inaugural menu and they are expanding soon with Pizza already added to it. I opted for White sauce pasta and Virgin mojito for unlimited pasta and beverages . Food served in reasonable time. Surprised to see the generous quantity of pasta which doesn't even require refilling for me. My initial reaction on looking at it was Wow. Taste wise Pasta and mojito were good. Pasta was super hot and creamier with generous quantities of multiple vegetables. Cheese topping was just apt. Service was excellent. They were very friendly and open to genuine feedback. Pricing is reasonable considering the quantity and quality of ingredients. Value for money . Overall satisfying experience I would definitely revisit especially once they add more items to their menu
