MOCHA- Coffee & Conversation.
A lot can happen over a cup of coffee in mocha, right from funky fashion to finger licking food & good coffee to chumma conversation, all welcomes you. Very Bohemian in spirit, it is a killer joint for the Yo! Youth. A place to kick off your shoes & just chill out.
The crowd here is mostly college goers making the big noise, using F- language among friends. The place is packed and loud, perfect for party freaks and a big NO for the geeks or the peace seekers. The interiors are done with wild wallpapers, lovely lanterns and kitschy cushions; it’s got a mélange of death rock & vintage feel to it. The exterior is more animated with great places to sit like bean bags, bed, chairs, sofas & stone seats. You also have a 25’ plasma TV at the dead end and a lotus pool in the center. What makes it more interesting is the attitude of genX. Smoke filling the air & loud music played, the conversation kicks off with big bang non stop.
Amit Nanavati & Samir Nanavati are the franchisee for the cool Chennai Mocha.
They serve you an array of fascinating, yet astoundingly simple food and no doubt the coffees are great with 19 varieties of coffee beans, imported from Jamaica, Guatemala, Hawaii & Kenya. Coolers and brownie was simply lips smacking and the Srilankan omelet & the Chocolate avalanche are the two things you got to try out here. Nut with noodles are good to eat when you are damn hungry and dead. Hookah is always a hip thing for teens & there is hookah with tobacco and non tobacco stuff but dude you need some ID for age verification. The evening is ebullient with people air kissing, kicking & thickening the air with fragrant smoke from fruit sheesha.It also has a cool shop outside where you can buy trendy glares & funky accessories. The price is upscale but is worth the fun.
The service is slow and you need to yell often to call the waiters yet youth do not mind. Mocha at times get too flooded with folks and you feel like grown up kids fighting in the park to play the ride (seats). Nonetheless if you don’t mind shedding few bucks and noisy places are cool for you. Drive into Khaddar Nawaz Khan Road. Mocha welcomes you.
