Agape Cafe & Lounge New Delhi

Wtf is this? Where the hell we are going? … I was told I was getting my “food” Doesn’t look like I’m getting my dinner any time soon …was my reaction when I was first introduced to the Agapé Café and Lounge. And then! Whew!!! I was totally gob smacked when I entered the café. It is so beautiful inside. It is a hidden gem of a place. A kind of a best kept secret… 5 reasons I frequent AGAPÉ 1. Ambiance: All I wanted was to click selfies…All these pictures are going to my instagram feed. Wait a minute! I don’t have an insta account…whatever! Back to subject. The café strikes a balance with soft lighting that is soothing but bright enough to see what you are eating. Seating arrangement is unpretentious, comfy, and varied with enough space for you to shake a leg. Even when crowded & with loud music playing, the place has a Zen like feel to it. And you might always see a younger crowd been seated... 2. Food: Food is the essence of any restaurant and Agapé wins hands down for me. I have been to this place several times in this short period that it’s opened and have never been disappointed. The food is amazing… tasty, delicious, lip smacking and very very reasonable. Quantity is very generous. Their rice beer is to die for. What you should try – • Chicken Liver & Gizzard • Chicken Salad • Chicken Burger • Crispy Buff With Stir Fried Veggies • Pork with Bamboo shoots • Pork Dry Fry • Pork Axone • Rice Beer 3. Service: The service is good & hosts pleasant. Everything arrives on time and is served with a smile. It all comes back to the basics. Serve customers the best-tasting food at a good value in a clean, comfortable restaurant, and they'll keep coming back. 4. Value for money: The portion sizes are really generous. Once I had ordered Kashmiri fish for two people. The portion was good for four and was at a fraction of the price. Of course, we two couldn't finish it, so they packed it for us. Overall great returns for the price you pay. Though, I wouldn’t mind paying thrice of what they charge, as it's really cheap for the taste they offer! 5. Music: Good contemporary English music is played. Here the guests could listen to their own playlists on the café’s music system. Food of my choice plus music of my choice... What could be better!!! It is a real treat for all the senses. I would suggest to never miss this place if you are hungry; or need to be comforted; or gossip with friends; or even when need to be alone. These days, I just take my uninitiated friends over there and preen when they are wowing over my find. J.R.R. Tolkien said “If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.” I feel the owners of this café belong to the secret Tolkien cult. Totally recommended!!!

Great service and great food. Rice beer is 10/10. The owner will greet you with the biggest smile and the servers will genuinely cater to your requests. Definitely a must visit.
