Born from a Flame
of Passion

Named after the beloved Tesu flower — the vibrant Flame of the Forest that paints Central India in fiery orange each spring — Cafe Tesu was born from entrepreneur Dhruv Goyle's vision of merging the wonderful worlds of food, coffee, art, and imagination into one living space.

What began as a simple idea for a relaxed, earthy cafe at the entrance of Essex Farms on Aurobindo Marg quickly blossomed into something far more: a collaborative space for co-existence, where Santorini-inspired blue facades meet the warmth of Indian hospitality, and every cup of specialty coffee from Devi in Goa tells a story.

When the Cafe Becomes
a Velada

As the sun sets, Cafe Tesu transforms. Tesu Velada — our evening tapas and cocktail experience — brings a new energy to the space. Curated cocktails, small-plate tapas, and the warm glow of candlelight create an intimate atmosphere perfect for unwinding after the day.
