Symi is all set to open its doors for the food lovers to come in and feel the vibes of Greece in the plush alleys of Doverlane. The owners of the food joint are Trishna Mukherjee and seasoned restaurateur Deblina Chakrabarty.

The décor of the café resembles that of the Greek island of Symi. The exterior portion of the café resembles one of Symi’s crayon-colored houses. The yellow and blue chairs, coupled with the artificial grass wall panels, bring out the prismatic texture of the remarkable isle. The entry section contains a vintage phone and a wall clock. The mid-way passage section is decked with vintage lamp-shades and boasts of an old school fan. Symi incorporates restored wooden structures in its design plan. One design aspect that grabs eyeballs is an enclosed window, which exhibits a titanic picture of the panoramic vista of the island of Symi that will surely teleport you to the coast of the Aegean Sea.

It has an area of 1100 sq. ft. and can accommodate well over 50 people. The sections of the café are intricately divided into three zones- Entry: Mneme (Remembrance, Memory) Midway Passage: Elpida (Hope) Mezzanine Space: Agapi (Love).

The island of Symi is known for its seafood cuisine, especially shrimps. Thus, the café’s signature dishes contain the same element. The most exceptional one among them would be the scrumptious shrimp pizzas. The soups and salads are classic continental dishes, with the specialty being the Rustic Greek Salad to give you a taste of Greek cuisine. It serves delectable dishes like Mutton Keema Sinhara with Tzatziki, Pesto Chicken & Sundried Tomato Pizza, Zesty Shrimp Pasta, Cheesy Chicken Sandwich, and many other mouth-watering delicious platters. Mutton Keema Sinhara with Tzatziki is another succulent offering, where the minced meat is stuffed into samosas and served with Tzatziki dip. Pesto Chicken & Sundried Tomato Pizza is a Thin Crust 12-inch pizza with pesto chicken and sun-dried tomatoes. Zesty Shrimp Pasta comprises parsley, garlic & lemon sauce tossed with shrimps & pasta of choice.

For desserts, Symi has Nutella & Raspberry Crepes, Cream Caramel, and Chocolate Mousse Martini.

When it comes to a cafe, the tea and coffee have to be fantastic and the owners are well aware of this. Keeping this in mind, they have kept a lot of varieties in the tea and coffee section. The tea section has Turkish Tea, Chamomile, Darjeeling First Flush, and a few others. The coffee section has Cappuccino, Ethiopian Hazelnut Latte, Salted Caramel Latte, Triple Sec, and a few other tasty brews for the patrons.
