Kehkashan Cafe

Kehkashan Cafe sits right in the heart of Shadman’s busy commercial stretch, making it a casual go-to spot for locals looking to grab a quick bite or a relaxed meal amid the hustle. Its location opposite Gourmet Bakery means it shares the lively, somewhat bustling vibe typical of Shadman 1’s market roads—an area that balances busy daytime energy with a relatively calm evening atmosphere.

The cafe’s draw is its fusion-style menu featuring loaded pizzas and rolls, alongside a surprisingly diverse selection including Chinese dishes like Chicken Shashlik and Manchurian, and wraps. Those looking for something filling yet quick often lean toward the pizzas—available in 6 and 9-inch sizes—which can be shared comfortably between friends or kept for a solo craving. The rolls, especially spin rolls, earn consistent praise, making them a good choice for a casual lunch or a laid-back dinner.

Inside, the ambiance leans towards comfortable and unpretentious. It’s the kind of spot where you might find locals stopping by for a break from shopping or office work nearby, or groups gathering for a low-key hangout with music setting a mellow mood. Evening visits in cooler months reveal a cozy atmosphere, particularly when the warmth of the food and the background music combine to create a relaxing space away from the city's noise.

Service here can be a little on the slower side, which suggests it’s best visited when you’re not in a rush—making it more suited to a chill meal rather than a quick coffee stop. The steady stream of visitors from nearby offices and market stalls indicates it’s well-liked by those who appreciate quality, hearty meals over speedy turnaround.

All in all, Kehkashan Cafe appeals to anyone in Shadman looking for substantial, familiar comfort food in a straightforward, cozy setting. It works well for casual groups, small families, and workers in the area who want a decent meal without the fuss of more formal restaurants.
