The Blue Art Café quickly became one of my favorite spots. The vibe is effortlessly chill — the kind of place where you can sit for hours, whether you’re working, reading, or just soaking in the atmosphere. The food is amazing, full of flavor and comfort. And their masala chai? Absolutely addictive — hands down one of the best I’ve had. What truly sets this place apart is the people. The owner and staff are so warm and welcoming — they make you feel like you belong. Whether it was a quiet afternoon or a night with a live concert, every visit felt like a little escape. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for good food, good people, and a space that feels like home.

I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a delightful lunch spot! The staff is friendly and helpful when giving recommendations. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced, making it budget-friendly. Service is quick and cheerful, and the food is made fresh. It's not very busy because many people don’t think to come down here, but the food is absolutely delicious. If you're unsure about the entrance, just walk down and check it out!
