Limelight - Coffee Shop at Royal Orchid Hotel

My wife would probably laugh when she reads - "Another Royal Orchid article.... :)" But hey - we are members and must do justice to the place since its decent and across the road. So an evening haunt for us - the Limelight coffee shop at the Royal Orchid Hotel on Old Airport Road.

Its actually a matter of choice but my favorite is sitting out in the lawn in the wooden sit-outs that they have built. Absolutely fabulous in candle-light - specially in the evenings. Although I have done breakfast, lunch and dinner there - I recommend this place for a hot cup of tea and indian kebabs (however funny you find that combination to be). Their veg kebabs are mouth watering and the mint chutney that goes with it is mild and just right.

The buffet spread for breakfast is pretty neat - just right if you dont know what you want to have. South Indian, Continental and a bit of North Indian spreads. Lunch is predominantly Continental and Indian (with a southern flavour) these days. Dinner is the same. So not an exceptional place for a lunch/dinner but the ambience is just right for high tea.

Service is good and the staff is pretty courteous.

Style - 3 stars

Will I go there again? - Yes

Tea/Coffee for two with kebabs - Rs 750
