Jolly good!

Terttulia not only has a pleasant and enjoyable environment to chill out with friends but also offers a delectable fast food variety, says Barnalee Handique


Located in the bellybutton of Koregoan Park, towards the end of lane 5, Terttulia offers a delectable food spread and a beguiling ambience. A Spanish word, Terttulia means a pleasant conversation with friends at a café. Imrun Sethi, owner of the place, says, "As the tagline goes, the concept behind this joint is that it is a meeting point for friends where, they can 'eat, drink and love'." The joint, which forms a quaint and cosy dining space, is a big hit among collegians, young couples and expats.
"The informal ambience is a big hit with my colleagues and me. It is a great place to meet and catch up with friends. I frequent it four to five times a week," says 23-year-old Ashutosh Nema. Shamit Biswas, a student, continues, "My friends and I usually drop in here after our classes get over. We usually spend the whole day chilling and leave for home in the evening. I love the food, ambience and music here. The pizzas are yum!"
Terttulia occupies a seating area outside with a very rustic feel and a fine dining area. We squeezed our way in to see what's on offer and also to sample some of it. The items listed on the menu were assorted and the wait staff guided us to make the right choice. The food served here is something which is not served in other hangout joints in the city. There are more then 15 types of snacks, around 18 main dishes and 12 desserts. You can choose from quiches, sandwiches, salads, crunch wraps, each has atleast one vegetarian and non vegetarian option respectively. And what more? Everything on the menu can be customised according to your taste.
A huge draw is the Terttulia's day special menu, which is changed every three days. The menu has quiches, soups, salads, pizza and the main course. And naturally, this menu attracts a good number of people. Another highlight of this place is it's elaborate breakfast menu. So if you have woken up early for a lecture and are in no mood to attend it, drop by at Terttulia for a wholesome breakfast with classmates. You can have a complete meal without burning a hole in your pocket.
