Pretty little cafe. Went for chocolate cake - nice soft and flavourful. Thinly cut slice unlike the expectations but delicious !
And blueberry cheese cake - smooth taste.
Great experience!
Nicely priced on the higher side.

It is a beautiful cafe. The one that I went to is in Meherchand market, close to Habitat centre. Pastries, cakes and savouries are all very nice. But what I would really love from them is to have a few more options in coffee. Basically they only have French press coffee for those who wanted hot coffee. A few more options here would surely make it unputdownable.

THE BEST RED VELVET CAKE I HAVE EVER HAD.
I think that has a lot to do with the cream cheese frosting used because they make even the carrot cake taste amazing!
The croissants served are big and bulky but somehow soft and light on the inside and very delicious.
Have had close to ALL their desserts and can safely say that you’ll never regret having ANY of their desserts EVER.
Had their chicken mushroom pot pie which was out of this world.
Have had their Mac and Cheese, which has a beautiful top layer of cheese and bread crumbs.
Their pizzas are so funky shaped that it makes it taste 10x better!
All servers are helpful and attentive!
I have dined-in, requested takeaway and ordered from here as well so basically have a hatrick when it comes to this place because it’s THAT good.

It was an unplanned visit buy still managed to taste their coffee, egg sandwich and hummus & pita.. the place looked beautiful in its light green and white tone, the food was great, hummus was nice, would have loved the cauliflower pickle in smaller bud, the egg sanwich was fresh and soft Mustard sauce was the highlight.

Nice and cosy place at meherchand market. Warm feel and great ambience. Food is quite refreshing, cooked well ...lots of character.
We tried watermelon feta salad, cold cut platter, fish & chips, ham & pineapple thin crust pizza.... difficult to find a flaw...prepared with lots of love.
We finished off the meal with scones with cream & berry composte, apple pie with ice cream, brownie fudge and caramel butterscotch cheese cake....amazing desserts
Must visit if you are this side of town
Efficient and polite staff...well done

We visited Elma's Brasserie for high-tea and preferred the vegetarian version. Our package came with a selection of wonderful sandwiches (olives, sun-dried tomatoes, etc.), scones (highly recommended) with jam and cream, and an assortment of cakes and pastries. We requested for a freshly made chai (instead of the tea bag), which was ok. The service is excellent and the overall ambiance is relaxed.

The food here is fantastic from their grilled chicken with vegetables, veg pot pie, fresh vegetables and garlic chicken with hummus and pita. It’s worth a trip here. The only concern is their staff; they are just too slow and do not pay attention at all. Please look into this as it’s a stark contrast to the good food served at the restaurant.

Elma’s has two of the staples from London’s sandwich bars, coronation chicken & egg mayo; and they are as close as it can get to the ones in London. The scones served with the high tea are surely the best in town.

Heading to this European Vibe restaurant for a breakfast was a great decision.

No. of people : 3
Total Bill : Rs. 2000(appx)
Availability on Tomato Gold/ Gourmet Passport : No
Other Discount Options : Pay Via dineout

Quality : The place has a good European vibe to it with its theme going on in the shades of whites and blues. The furniture and the seating is good and comfortable. I would say it’s a super cute cafe to visit for a date or may be a brunch.

Food : There is good variety of food. The desert is to die for. There is a good variety in desert. My analysis of the menu when we went there for the breakfast, ‘It’s really good. There are good platters to binge on.

We had ordered :

All American Breakfast Breakfast : It throws such a personalised impression when you get to select the preparation of your eggs served with nicely cooked shallow fried bacon. Also, there are super soft pancakes served with maple syrup in the platter which are worth a droll.

Spaghetti Carbonara : The flavour to the pasta is real good. It’s got a creamy-cheesy texture to it. There is touch of egg yolk to it as they claim, but the taste of it just blends in so well with the cream and cheese. Lastly, it is topped with shallow fried bacon which jus tastes amazing when combined with the strands of spaghetti. It’s a thumbs up and worth a try.

New York Cheese Cake : Well, the place is champion for the deserts they serve, and why not, it’s a bakery. After a lot of debate since it’s difficult to choose from the mouth watering dessert placed in there, we went in ahead after recommendation with New York Cheesecake. Each bite, mind you me, was worth the sin. I couldn’t stop. That creamy-cheese texture of the cake over the biscuit Laye at the bottom topped with blueberry is worth a binge.

French Press Coffee : It was my first time with the variant. I liked the preparation since its super fancy.

Location : Beautifully designed, placed near Lodhi Colony. Parking was equally comfortable(atlas in the morning hours)

Overall : 4.5

One of the best places I have been in recent times. Randomly ended up here after a day well spent with art in Lodhi Colony. The places is very small and comfy with nice ambience and some good soft music (at least when I was there). Coming to the menu, a lot of good and different options away from your regular day to day stuff. Ordered Lamb Chops cooked with Roosemary and Red Wine, White Sauce Mushroom Pasta, Honey-Glazed Pork Ham, Onion Rings and Lemon Ice Tea. Every thing was amazing and cooked to perfection. It is tough to find good lamb chops but this lived up to the expectation. Same can be said about the rest as well. Pasta is the only thing that I can say that I've had better (not that this was bad). I would definitely recommend this place even if you are not in the area. Would be worth to fancy a visit just for the cafe.

Food and service was excellent! Tasty, visually appealing, and largely authentic. Cute and cozy and clean interior. I had the croissant, English Breakfast Tea and All American Breakfast. Was disappointed my phone's wall charger wouldn't fit in the outlet and my phone was low on battery but I hope that can be resolved in the near future.

A colourful and beautiful lit up bakery, elma’s is a delightful joint for people who have a weakness for sweet tooth. Elma’s is a name that clicks to a lot of people whenever red velvet cake is mentioned and like all the people it is my personal favourite too. Too creamy and too heavy, it is also too good to be true. I have been going to this place almost every fortnight for the past three years and I still haven’t had enough.

After a long day at work who doesn't crave a good dessert.

Came across Elma's while crossing lodhi colony and order a few bites.

It was surprisingly good, also got a chance to meet the order and he was really welcoming which again gives a nice warmth to the place.

Do visit if you're nearby. Really great food !

This small little outlet located in this market is just what you need on a hot summer day when you’re having a sweet craving.
Went there on a full stomach and still couldn’t help but order more drinks and desserts!
Tried about three of their drinks including the orange sunset and the cranberry cooler.
Was totally impressed by the wonderful mix of drinks!
Their moist chocolate cake was super yummy as well.
A must visit place.
Totally in love with it even though I couldn’t even sample any of their food yet!

This was purely and purely likeable restaurant! Nakshita Singh and I totally loved this place. We'd like to mention the entry was absolutely fab and then we sat across the aroma was incredible. Then she ordered ABSOLUT and I ordered HENNESSY. It was awesome. In starters 2e ordered VEG MEZZE PLATTER. It was delicious. We didn't waste mucha time. Straight away dive into pasta and pizza respectability. Pizza was
FRESH VEGETABLE. It was good, though she told me. CLASSIC ARRABIATTA PASTA was out of the world. Finally we'd deserts. CHOCOLATE PILLOW is the best desert I've eaten in a long time to come. We'll surely make it to your restaurant again and we do hope that our experience is far more better than this one.

It's a cute little cafe located in meharchand market. The seating is restricted but the food is great. I have heard great reviews about this place from friends. We went there for dessert and coffee. Ordered a brownie, coffee cake and cold coffee. Brownie was okay but the coffee cake was amazing and so was the cold coffee. Would love to go there again to try something else. I am sure it must be good. Staff is friendly too.

Elma's is a cute little cafe in Lodhi Colony. Though the seating capacity is restricted here but the food tastes incredible. We dropped here for brunch recently and ordered the following:

- All American breakfast which included pancakes, eggs and bacon. The pancakes topped with butter and maple syrup were a delight to have. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon added to the flavour in the platter.

- Chocolate and Banana Crepes: If you are looking to eat something heavy and do not care about a diet then this is the perfect option for you. As soon as you tear the cover of the crepe, the melted chocolate starts draining out. My mouth is actually watering while writing this review.

- Cold Coffee: We also ordered cold coffee which was good but way too sweet for our taste buds.

I would give this place 5 stars for the quality of food they provide.

I have visited this place multiple times and mostly it is for their red velvet cheesecake . It is really amazing . The cheesecake is so moist and the flavour is perfect . A person like me can’t have the entire piece alone so certainly need 2 people for one . There are multiple options available apart from this but this one is my favourite .
I tried their grilled chicken with mustard sauce -(5/5)
and I must say that is the best I have had in a long time .
The sauce was so tasty and the taste was appropriate in every manner .
It’s a must try .

Tucked in meherchand market is elma's brasserie, cosy little french style eatery. Pastel colours along with floral theme depicting the european concept cosy cafe. They have limited seating around 10-15 only and mostly its full due to their breakfast all day menu. Went there on a Saturday noon and the place was fully packed. My favourites out of their bakery products are red velvet and black velvet pastry. Cakes have optimum sweetness for a sweet tooth with moist and fresh taste. Croissants are fresh, delicious and perfect snacks along with great caffeine dose here. Chamomile tea was nicely made, along with beautiful floral cups.

The ambiance is minimal yet inviting, the service was good and the food was tasty
Order :

2. Garlic bread : 3.5/5
3. Vegetable Pizza (flatbread) : 5/5

Went for the first time with family and it's a nice place for brunch and evening scenes. The menu is quite vast and there are plenty of things you can order. But here's my observation: 1) It's a bit overpriced. 2) The ambience is great, you can actually have a good convo over coffee, there's no loud music or anything. 3) highly recommended for a date. 4) They have amazing pie đŸ„§, I believe you can order any from the menu, I believe most of it is good. 5) The Pizza here is very crispy, light, and delicious. I ordered Greek something...it was great. 6) The coffee (cappuccino) is pretty average. 7) soups are good, should try that. 8) we tried pili pili prawns, never seen that dish anywhere, it was quite different. 9) The chocolate shake we felt was a bit too sugary 10) The food quality is brilliant for most part, just felt it's a bit overpriced.

This is a nice, little eatery tucked away in Meherchand Market. It has a reputation for really good food, and I can vouch for it now (having had a pizza and a Mezze platter) with some friends. The good part is that it allows you to sit and chat with friends without conversations being suppressed by loud music, serves great food, and has pleasant, positive staff. On the other hand, for a person like me who likes open spaces and a little but of distance from the next table, it's a little too small and the tables are a little too close together. However, that doesn't hold one back from enjoying oneself with friends if one is uninhibited. Another plus...the black coffee is good, and so is the Jasmine Tea.

It was a pretty good experience overall. The staff was good and helpful in providing whatever they could. The ambiance was great, a café vibe with mostly good aesthetics. Now, the food was mostly good. The salad was great, the Shepard's pie was also great. But the Moroccan chicken and the chicken in the mustard sauce was kind of underwhelming because they were a little too overcooked, at least for our taste. Anyways, other than that, the pizza was really good and the deserts were also great, especially the scones and the carrot cake. Lastly, the tea was well brewed and it definitely shows.

Elma's in Meherchand Market is in a new avatar, where Diva Spice used to be. It's menu is the same. I had a rocket salad. They don't serve bread on the side so I ordered garlic bread with cheese. The bread was too white and the cheese not so tasty. They could use the multigrain bread they sell. The French press coffee was good. The service is OK, the previous cheerful staff has gone. Prices are the same. Update from February 2023: the place has a new co-owner, a young couple. The menu has changed. The fish dishes are excellent. It's a quiet, calm place to meet. The toilet and cafe need a makeover. Staff still courteous and thoughtful.

Absolutely divine breakfast served on our anniversary... We drove all the way from Gurgaon sector 86 to Meherchand market to Elma's, and weren't disappointed. The American breakfast and the English breakfast was absolutely spot on in terms of flavor, quality and quantity. The pancakes are to die for and the eggs cooked to perfection. Looking forward to returning to Elma's soon again.

I have been visiting Elma's for years now and the food is amazing. You don't get better desserts anywhere. I had the chocolate pillows (honestly, they aren't as good as they were years ago, but still worth a try if you love melted chocolate). The Apple pie was way too good. The savoury items are worth a try too! You can visit this right next to Carnatic Cafe on Meherchand Market or in Hauz Khas Village!
