Though it is a task to reach Hazratganj but winter sunny Sunday and new cafe enough reason to take one. Entering the cafe dint impressed me much, it is like any other cafe bar in lko. Wall graffiti are interesting. But these are all secondary things. Coming to food we ordered :
Chicken Bruschetta, Suicide Chocolate Shake, Hasselbeck Chicken, Lemon mint ice tea.
Superb presentation, finger-licking tasty, everything perfectly cooked. Food is the main thing and they hit the nail on the head.
Would have given them 4 because of the time they took in preparing the food, verrrrrry lonnnnng. But their server deserve extra point. Service was top notch, really impressive. Will definitely recommend and will visit again.
And yes they succeeded in impressing a mother, Special Thanks!

Amazing food made under guidance of Pankaj Bhadauria the Masterchef INDIA,
Beautiful interiors & great sound installed by Rhythm of Qubix , the blend of all these makes it a happening place.
The Metro construction is a bit —ve point to reach this centrally located place.
Had an Amazing Supper with my friends at this Cafe, I must say that the Ambience is so damn good, Located in the heart of the city yet so peaceful and calm. The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. From the Generous topping of olive oil and walnuts on my pizza to the Amazingly Saucy Ravioli, Everything Top- Notch !!
Service by staff was Awesome and the waitresses who served me were very accommodating, Kudos To Them !!
Will be back Deffinitely !!
The cafe by Master chef Pankaj Bhadouria, Cafe By Default, is at a prime location in the city. Easily navigable.
The cafe is nicely designed and is quite spacious. Also, the music was good. The cafe has good, serene vibes.
Coming to the food~ We had an espresso, cappuccino, Chicken poppers & Mushroom Cheese Ravioli. I liked the cappuccino and also the ravioli.
The texture of the tomato gravy was good and also the mushroom filling was tasty.
The staff was amicable and aware about their menu unlike many.
One thing I would to mention was the washrooms were not functioning well and maybe they had some water issues that day but it is workable I think.
Ambiance n food quality is good. Helpings are small and could be more generous for the price. Somewhat expensive, can be priced slightly lower for better business. Overall a nice experience
Awesome food..perfect ambiance...good service...nice cusine...awesome place to be with friends and family....coffee is perfect...lovely Browne...pasta is awesome and as I am vegan..but as per my friends who love non-vegetarian food, its awesome..nothing can be perfect than this..
Great ambience, good service, very good food, though a mite expensive! Good to have such places in shopping hubs like Hazratganj to put up your feet and catch your breath before you hit the streets again! However, the high prices will mean not everyone can come again and again, everyday. Sigh:(
The food was just ok.The service was a bit slow but the ambience was pretty good.I wish they could work on it and make it better.

While ganjing with friends, we stumbled upon this amazing joint owned by winner of Masterchef India Season 1, Mrs. Pankaj Bhadouria. The food was really masterchefy. Sitting area was quite big, it had 20-30 odd tables. Mostly empty on a Saturday night, maybe due to the flavor they served was different from awadhi cuisine. Our order Wings on Fire and Dahi ke Sholey followed by Italian Meatball Pizza. Wings on fire was actually hot wings glazed with beautiful sauce, and to cool off, our dahi ke sholey came to the rescue. Wings were accompanied by one lemonade and kabab were served with a mayonnaise look-a- like mousse. Pizza had a little less to praise, they used parmesan cheese which is harder than mozzarella cheese which made it stretch more and had no gluey effect which we Indians enjoy in a pizza. Few of the dishes we order were unavailable at that time but it didn't kill our apatite. In baverages we ordered Classic Mojito, Tiramisu Shake and Spicy Guava Mojito, the latter was not available so instead we ordered Kiwi Mojio. Shake was thick and mojito's were refreshing. Overall I found something different in the awadh city which I really enjoyed. Love to by back and can't wait to try new dishes off their menu.
Good ambiance and beautiful view. Food is delicious
