About this place
The curry combination at cafe MOLE may look modest in size, but diners have said it makes a satisfying meal. One person who tried the wild boar keema with the walnut and cashew curry singled out its depth of flavour. The curry selection includes wild boar keema, chicken keema, walnut and cashew, and a bean-based vegetarian curry, or dal. You can choose whether to make a meat keema the centrepiece or pair it with a bean or nut curry, making this a good option for lunch if you want contrasting flavours in one dish.
For something other than curry, the house-made-bread sandwiches include bacon, lettuce and tomato, as well as hummus, a paste made from chickpeas. One diner recalled enjoying the BLT, a good alternative when you want a lighter meal than curry. Cakes include baked cheesecake, banana pound cake, and walnut and rum raisin pound cake. There are also waffles with ice cream and grilled banana, making it easy to stop for a small sweet treat or settle in with cake and a drink.
The drinks menu goes beyond coffee, with Earl Grey, Assam, Darjeeling and chai among the teas. If you enjoy tea, one diner's favourable impression of the Earl Grey may help you choose a cup to go with cake. A more detailed account of the cappuccino noted its foam and cinnamon aroma, the restrained sweetness of the milk, and the bitterness of the espresso. The banana espresso shake was described as having a pronounced banana flavour, balanced by coffee bitterness, with a noticeable sweetness.
The interior has plenty of plants, and one diner appreciated being able to enjoy jazz and records playing quietly. There are also accounts of people spending time alone at the counter, making this a place to consider for a leisurely coffee or tea after lunch.
