Absolutely loved everything about the cafe - from the coziness to the attitude of the staff, the food, and the cause. Can't recommend it enough. We had the Aloo pyaaz parathas and they were tastier than anywhere I've had before. PS: we gobbled up the food before we clicked. Special kudos to Zoya and Maahi.

One of its kind , this place has amazing food , coffee and conversations. Operated solely by trans community people ,each picture or art on wall that is done has its own story. Their entrepreneurship streak to create a brand looks sustainable due to low cost of food and amazing service . To add every food item was amazing, special mention for cold coffee and sandwich Service was quick and staff is hospitable and warm. Don't forget to ask manager Mohini for all the detailed artwork and story behind it.

Yesterday visited the Cafe just by chance and I'm happy that i visited this place. Good little space with cleanliness, and peaceful surroundings. Their food was good. The homemade food taste was what we outsiders actually crave for. And the way they decorated the cafe was awesome, with simple handmade drawings, inner thoughts, positivity and with a strong message that If the world gives them a chance to prove them instead of judging them they can do a lot of things. Sad thing was i visited today too but it is close on Sundays so will try to visit them some other day.

A unique, inclusive, empowering initiative! A cafe run exclusively by the transgender community! Very heartwarming to see the trans community members in regular roles such as cook, manager, waiter, etc. All of them are extremely polite and well behaved.. A pioneering, stereotype breaking effort, indeed! The interiors of the cafe are very tastefully done up in pink and various other colors of the rainbow.. very neat and clean too! A totally vegetarian cafe(another heartwarming feature for vegans like me), TTC offers an extremely affordable vegetarian thali consisting of chapatis, rice, dry sabzi, dal, salad, pickles, papad- all at only ₹60! Apart from it, other dishes like parathas, other snacks, tea, chaach, etc are also available at very reasonable rates! God bless!!
