An evening at Cafe` Papaya

By Darshan Sreekumar
Hey Guys, This is the review of Café Papaya, located at Palarivattom, Cochin.
Well, it was just another Saturday morning and my dad was going through ‘The Hindu’ newspaper, when a news column caught his attention. A Finnish musician named Rasmus Pailos was performing at Café Papaya. We had never heard of Café Papaya, and upon enquiry, we found that it was just a two minute walk from our house. We went there a few minutes before 8pm, when the programme was supposed to start. The place was mind blowing!!  A totally contemporary design, blended with modern art and a library. A wonderful, mesmerizing description of the café stands beside the entrance. “We have designed this place with the intention of reviving the 80’s nostalgic atmosphere, and the concept of listening to music over a cup of coffee,” says promoter Jithu.  The moment the door closes behind you, all personal concepts of time stand still.

A heavenly ambience is created using dim incandescent bulbs. A mini theatre sits there, awaiting keen musicians.

A small but diverse menu filled with delicious salads, cakes, and beverages, both hot and cold. It goes easy on your wallet too..!!  The library and the living room- inspired styling make you feel the comforts of your home.  Best of all, Papaya expects more of a family crowd than a bachelor crowd.
