NOTTA CAFE

A pleasant fragrance of spices greets visitors at NOTTA CAFE, where the kitchen turns out thoughtfully prepared Asian dishes ranging from combination curry plates featuring two distinct flavors to a mellow yet gently warming coconut chicken curry. The lineup offers plenty of variety, including fresh coriander-flecked keema curry, ginger beef curry, and a Japanese-influenced spiced curry pairing mackerel with fragrant sansho peppercorns. With colorful vegetable garnishes and alternatives like gapao rice, lunch here makes for a thoroughly satisfying meal.

Desserts and drinks bring just as much care to the table, whether following a meal or filling an afternoon tea break. Alongside staples like baked custard pudding and cheesecake, fruit-forward sweets such as a lemon white gateau au chocolat and apple parfaits offer a calming finish. Refreshment options are equally distinct, encompassing bright cream sodas garnished with pastel oiri rice crisps, bittersweet coffee jelly floats, and aromatic ginger chai.

Warm woodwork and potted greenery set a peaceful tone indoors, accented by subtle cat motifs and selected knick-knacks. With counter seating and standalone tables, this retreat tucked just off the main streets of Saiin is an easy choice for solo diners looking for an unhurried bite or anyone seeking a quiet spot to pause for the afternoon.
