Barista Lavazza - Delhi

Amidst the Shopping area of the Safdarjung DDA market is the mid budget restaurant of Qahwa. It serves great bread and sandwiches for breakfast and cool sizzlers for supper. Their chicken and corn brioche is a large loaf of salted bread stuffed with diced chicken, corn and cheese. Their classic ham and cheese sandwich is a four pieces of triangle shaped chicken stuffed portions. Their fresh soup and gur lemon soda are classic. The restaurant is simple and sleek in design. The counter up front is a modest in display. The owner has exhibited her medals in sports in one corner of the place. Their furniture boasts of wood and jute. The lighting fixtures are formed from baskets of thatch like material. The large restaurant can seat about 80 people at a time indoors as well as in the balcony. But he café does not encourage people to sit for hours working on laptops and writing journals. Such customers are strictly instructed to keep munching or sipping on something, or pay Rs 250 per hour for occupying a table. Instruction stickers are glued onto every table for explicit directions to all those who think of the café as a freebie workplace. The café opens prompt morning at 7am for all the early bird breakfast munchers.

Lovely place, I've had a lot of get togethers at Qahwa with my friends yoga group. Coffee is the best, and the newest addition of biryani is amazing. I always enjoy the cakes, especially almond honey cake spiced ginger cake. Their pizzas are fresh delicious. Good job!

Qahwa is one of the amazing cafe in SDA market . Food is amazingly Awsome. We ordered coffee,omlete, waffles, everything taste good.its good place to hangout with friends !

This is a quaint little place in front of the IIT in the SDA market. We ordered a few things in breakfast and they came out nice. I've had better breakfasts but still nothing to complain. Moreover it opens super early so we reached around 7:30 and it felt so nice to be only one of the few people in the restaurant. The ambience is very simple and you have to pay nominal table charges if you just need to go work there and don't want to order which is a nice concept. Overall liked the place.

Good food and drinks, great ambience, should definitely visit once, I'll recommend for sure. It's a small cozy space with indoor and outdoor sitting arrangements. The staff is friendly, affordable place.
