HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW TO START A CAFE !
A journalist who started a pizzeria & a retired managing director who opened a vegetarian fine-dining cafe. Cafe Diem and Open Kitchen are two of the most loved cafes in Coonoor. So this time in Coonoor, I decided to spend a day with Radhika Shastry and Priyak Mitra to hear their stories of starting their dream cafes from scratch.

Hi Abhishek, first of all I really like your cinematography and content, thanks for that! How I started following your videos by accidently seeing your Landour’s videos, since I’m from Dehradun, I loved it. Started following up all your videos. Well, when you premiered this video, we were there in Ketty, 12 KMs from Connor. We searched this hidden gem, reached there but we had following challenges and disappointments: 1) This café needs a prior reservation, no exception whatsoever! I reached there searching all the way from Ketty, with 2 small kids, but we were denied entry. Anyways, I requested if I make reservation for next day & we did. 2) This café is not kids friendly. 4-5 places it is mentioned to ask your kids to be seated all the time. I don’t understand how kids can sit all the time in a seat while it will take time to prepare food. 3) You cannot click photos outside of the cafeteria, and I really admire how Ms. Shastry has done her beautiful property truly amazing. But again, we cannot take pics ☹ I personally believe these details could’ve been highlighted, but then these are my views and expectations. We all like the pasta, pizza, red Thai curry were very tasty but a platter was not good.

@soumitramajumdar2630 Жыл бұрын

Let's put it this way --- the moment you start to give equal or more importance to the persona, the individual..... rather than his or her creation, it creates a certain aura around the person and what it does is that anyone visiting the cafes would want to dine as well as to meet the people who created the place. It is in this context that one gets hugely disappointed to find that Mr Priyak Mitra has moved on to Kochi (so I hear) and Open Kitchen in Coonoor is not run by him any more. ( as in the first week of Aug'22) Those viewers who plan to visit the cafe hoping to meet the owner could be disappointed. However the food is fantastic and the guy running the cafe at present ( Rajesh) is nice and friendly to talk to. Cafe Diem on the other hand is impeccable in all respects.
