Tramp Tree Cafe - Lucknow India

Loving it since college days. Location is a little towards inner side but nothing too hard to find if you know Ganj well. Earlier they had staff with better communication skills, in both language Hindi and English now it seems the staff is simply does not better. Please work on that side. Taste wise it has still maintained its earlier repute.

Date: 5th November, 2017 [Sunday]<br/ Time: 2100<br/ <br/ Ambience: A small, cozy café situated behind Tej Kumar Plaza.<br/ Service: Only 1 waiter who was quite amicable and the service was quick.<br/ <br/ Food:<br/ 1) Chicken Delight Tortilla:<br/ Excellent.<br/ The dish reflected it's Mexican roots with the ingredients and how the whole dish came together. The best thing about it was the sauce!<br/ You should definitely give it a try!<br/ <br/ 2) Lasagne Rolls:<br/ The dish is served in a plate with 4 eatables, Lasagne Rolls, Fried Mushrooms, Garlic Bread and Cabbage and Tomato Salad.<br/ The chef did wonders with his lasagne rolls which had a stuffing of Basil Tomato Sauce, which despite being a little too oily were juicy and too tasty!<br/ All in all, when you have the 4 eatables together [Special mention to the Fried Mushrooms], the whole dish comes out very well!<br/ <br/ 3) Falafel with Hummus, Salad and Pita Bread:<br/ The only problem with the dish was the quantity of hummus they served.<br/ Elsewise, it was just like the Hummus and Falafel any other restaurant would serve.<br/ <br/ Verdict:<br/ I would love to come to this place again!

A cafe by one of the most celebrated chefs of India, Pankaj Bhadoriya, the name and the surrounding are catchy enough. We had some time to kill so went there. Ordered cold coffee with icecream and lasagna rolls. Cold coffee turned out to be awesome. And I don't call anything edible as bad but lasagna roll disappointed us. 3.5 stars for cold coffee and the interiors.

This has to be the best café in Lucknow, hands down. People might push you for cappuccino blast but the sheer quality of food, beverages and service at this place in unmatched. The only worthy competition in my opinion is a relatively new entrant called Peddler's on Malviya Marg. The reason for low ratings is that this café offers a more globalised experience that is not tailored to the local populace. We were a bunch of traveling consultants staying in Lucknow for a while and we all agreed that this was café numero uno.<br/ <br/ The place is run by Pankaja Bhadouria, winner of the first Masterchef India. It has an attached culinary school and the servers give you a mini guided tour upon request.<br/ <br/ There is even a coir swing to sit on if you are so inclined. The standard beverages: masala tea, classic cappuccino and green tea were fantastic. The menu is completely continental with tried and tested dishes like salads, pastas (arabiatta, mac and cheese), sandwiches and pancakes. The protons are good although the pricing is slightly on the higher side. Having said that, a place like this in Delhi would cost at least 20% more.<br/ <br/ The biggest problem I have had in Lucknow (and Agra, basically UP) cafes is the unnecessarily loaded drinks and quick bites: weird shakes needlessly loaded with oreos and hershey's, burgers where you literally have to wipe off cream from your pattie with a tissue, etc.<br/ <br/ Not so st this place, they know how to get the balance just right. The options in dessert are great too.<br/ <br/ Ambience: Yellow, a bit bright lighting in evenings. The afternoons can be slightly crowded for the brunch menu is just great. The decor is fine but nothing stark, easy on the senses. 4/5<br/ <br/ Service: The staff is courteous and the wait after ordering is slightly long but they deliver exceptional meals. 5/5<br/ <br/ Food: the best continental experience in Lucknow. Presentation is good too. Menu has enough to keep you intrigued even by your 10th visit. 4/5<br/ <br/ Beverages: 5/5<br/ <br/ Portions and pricing: 4.5/5

Sprinkled with the youth quotient , this place attracts the young kids and the college goers of the city.<br/ Arpit Arya Harshit Shubham Sharma @Hamza Raza<br/ Tramp Tree is situated near the entrance of Hazratganj inside the famous Pankaj Bhadauria Culinary Academy. The place sure does live upto the legacy and pride of the place! : <br/ <br/ With varied menu from Mac'n'Cheese to Hummus, the young generation who wants everything all at once is surely spoiled for choice. Menu was presented in an old iPad which made me nostalgic with a subtle realisation of the technology riddled world we live in.<br/ <br/ Ambience was good and felt very premium. Walls were decorated with abstract stuff which are great points of conversation among friends. And a 40 inch LED TV which played recent bollywood songs also played it's part in creating the mood.<br/ <br/ The service was prompt and had enough delay to make the customer really appreciate the food when served. ; They even let you get extra dressing on salad if you run out of it! So hassle free and smooth service also made experience at Tramp Tree worthwhile.<br/ <br/ Food was amazing! Order : Mac n Cheese, Farm Fresh Pizza, Salad and lots of shakes!<br/ MnC was authentic. There were strings of cheese flying around so that validation was enough. But the cheese was not burnt to the point where it tastes intense and sour, which is a good thing and not many people know that.<br/ Pizza was good too and didn't manage to disappoint. It was cheesy and had nice toppings in big chunks.<br/ Although it had a piece of hair in it which was disappointing. But the manager was quick to apologise about it and did the needful.<br/ <br/ Salad was good and had freshly cut vegetables. It had Mayo and 1000 Island Dressing crowned upon bell peppers, cabbage , lettuce, olives and tomato. I didn't know we could get second helping on salad dressing!! An important thing about salad is to serve them cold and not at room temperature, which they DID and the vegetables had the crunch which was so good.<br/ <br/ Shake were AWESOME!!! Order : Sunny Sunday Mango and Pineapple , Wild Berry Wednesday Blueberry and Blackcurrant and TTC Special Oreo Shake. All the shakes were served chilled and used less cream based milk to avoid the froth on top. Every shake had an ice cream topping which was plenty. Although the Oreo Shake could use more Oreos into it. 1 is not enough !!<br/ <br/ Overall it was a great experience and would definitely go there again. Food , Taste , Service and Ambience were great. I would give it 4.5 but there is always room for experience...
