It was one Sunday morning when I was sick of house arrest during my sick days and I desperately wanted to go out. .I asked my friend Sharmishtha to take me out and we finally decided to go to this newly opened cafe “Cafe Tesu”, for a cup of coffee and desserts.
I have crossed this blue and white coloured walled cafe since the day it was opened. The exterior walls in blue and white is very attractive. Situated inside the complex of Essex Farm, this place has ample parking space and accessible with wheel chair . So finally we landed at the cafe post lunch and as I entered , I felt like I am in some countryside European cafe with a very neat decor . The ambiance is bright with some artistic light fittings, bright coloured sofas, cookie jars on walls and a pastel coloured Stag painted on one corner of the wall. The entire atmosphere was with very positive vibe with soft jazz music played on.
After settling down, I ordered for Whiskey barrel Coffee and Sharmishtha had Iced Cascara which is iced tea , with Rasberry Melange and Guava Pyramid. Rasberry Melange was gluten free and though I don't eat chocolate much, I loved the flavor of chocolate and raspberry. Guava Pyramid was suggested by the man behind this beautiful cafe “ Sahil Mehta”. It was soft as cotton and melt in the mouth texture. I personally will prefer the pyramid as my first choice. The sweetness was well balanced. I never had such amazing desserts anywhere in Delhi.

While conversing with Sahil , got to know about his training institutions. Hailing from Ecole hoteliere de santos dumount (96-2000), Lenotre (2008) and Ecole de cuisine d’Alain Ducasse (2017) , Paris , he has brought the concept from there and changed the entire scenario of baking and confectionaries in the capital.
Both of us were liking the place so much that we decided to stay for some more time . So we decided to try their savoury dishes and ordered one portion of each Shangai chicken dumplings and Lamb bourguigon burger. Dumplings were okayish and nothing to talk much on it . Burger was not like usual burger what we get in any other burger joints. There was no stiff patty and no lettuce with onion rings . The bun was so soft that we could cut it with a simple butter knife, and the meat was literally chunks of meat drunked with some kind of sweet wine and cooked with pure butter. By the time I had finished my half burger, I was regretting the fact that I couldn’t come for a full meal . Apparently the secret of the taste is overnight soaking of minced meat with some wine and herbs. Trust me if you ever go to Cafe Tesu, never share this burger with anyone. Paying 545/- for this big delectable burger is worth it.
