Borrowing KM from the heritage building - Kitab Mahal - where it is located, and throwing on a C* at the end so you can classify it as a community space, a cultural place, a cafe, co-working space, or more, the owners of Ekaa have opened up KMC* for the creative sorts. A proper boon for freelancers looking for a spot they can spend hours at without having to order every other second. You can sit peacefully with just on cup of coffee, and no one will shoo you away.
There are benches by the window, a ceiling-to-floor library of books, a coffee and cocktail bar; music is always low here, and there's even a mezzanine floor you can book for small team meetings. The menu has interesting plates like savoury beignets, sandos, and baos. The cocktail menu features wine cocktails that take inspiration from classics, and there's even a wine list worth checking out. Yes, they're called vinocktails! For food, we recommend Corn Bread & Methi Relish, Brioche Podi, Corn Beignets and Masoor Tagliatelle
We love the little elements that blend past and present - be it the typewriter at the entrance or the pop-culture posters; they even have on-point, in-house merchandise.
