Cafe Ohiyo - A quaint little cafe in Noida

Cafe Ohiyo Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato
I was staying in Noida Sector 62 and wanted to go to a cafe. Having lived in Bangalore and Hyderabad I am pretty used to visiting cafes that have really good food. Although Delhi has good cafes, I was surprised that Noida didn't have too many options close by. So when a friend suggested Cafe Ohiyo I decided to give it a try more so as it was pretty close. The top floor is very pretty, it is Chinese themed with wallpapers from China and cute little couches with lots of pillows. There is an outer sitting as well but it is infested with mosquitoes so we preferred sitting inside. We started off by ordering Penne in white sauce. The Pasta was creamy and cheesy and cooked quite well. I would have preferred the pasta breads as opposed to the plain bread that was served.
Next we ordered the Herbed Chicken Bruschetta - this was garlic bread that was topped with diced chicken marinated in Italian herbs and oil. Again I was disappointed with the normal bread as opposed to the Bruschetta bread. Also, there was no herb garnish. Apart from that, the taste was great.
After that we ordered Chickrum. This dish was made out of succulent chicken cubes that was marinated with dark rum and a secret marinade, served with cilantro and cheese dip. Every bite of the chicken had a strong hint of rum so it felt like having alcohol. But unfortunately, the chicken wasn't juicy and had no flavors as well.
Lastly we ordered the Chicken Quattro Pizza. Ideally a quattro pizza has four different toppings in four quarters but this pizza just had four different toppings - Ham, Sausage, Peri peri Chicken and Garlic Chicken. Unfortunately while having the Pizza I couldn't taste all the four varieties.
Overall: This definitely has a great ambiance. The food is good if you just judge it by a normal measure, but as a food enthusiast there are definitely quite a few gaps.

Ambiance: 4.5/5
Service: 4.5/5
Food: 3/5
Price: Budget-friendly
