Welcome to Tukaway (டகaway), a delightful café that offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of Chennai. Nestled on Brakathambal Street in Nungambakkam, this hidden gem is perfect for those looking to indulge in a mellow café experience while savoring a range of delectable treats.

The ambiance at Tukaway is charming and cozy, making it an ideal spot for solo visits, intimate hangouts, or even a relaxed brunch with friends. The café's tiered layout on the first floor of a residential building might make it slightly challenging to find, but that only adds to its intrigue and exclusivity. Once inside, you’ll be greeted with warm hospitality from the attentive staff, contributing to the café’s intimate vibe.

As you explore the menu, prepare your taste buds for a delightful array of offerings. Must-try items include the Chicken Tikka Cheese Sandwich, a satisfying combination of tangy chicken tikka and creamy cheese nestled between soft bread. For dessert lovers, the Chocolate Choux and Korean Cream Cheese Bun are simply irresistible, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and indulgence. Don’t overlook the Hazelnut Chocolate Ice Cream and the buttery Croissants, which have received rave reviews for their rich flavors and flaky textures.

Customer reviews highlight Tukaway’s appeal as a peaceful and tastefully adorned space. Preeti Tahiliani describes it as “a cute cafe tucked away in calmness,” reflecting the essence of what makes this spot so special. Chatura raves about enjoying a rainy afternoon there with handcut red sauce pasta, confirming the café’s ability to serve satisfying meals even with a limited menu. Similarly, Sheetal Sharma is enamored by its “French vibe,” especially after enjoying a delightful Sunday breakfast of pancakes and filter coffee.

However, keep in mind that this café can only accommodate a small number of guests—about ten at a time—perfect for those wanting to escape the crowded places. The limited parking space may require some planning, especially during busy hours. Yet, it's this very limitation that ensures the experience remains personal and intimate.

So, if you’re in Chennai and are looking for a cozy nook to enjoy delicious food while reconnecting with friends or simply basking in quietude, head over to Tukaway. This spot is more than just a café; it's a serene refuge where delightful flavors and warm ambiance reunite.

This place is not easy to identify mainly. It’s very interior. And they have less parking space. You can park 2 bikes inside the cafe. If it exceeds you can park it outside. This cafe is located in the first floor of the house. It’s quite small and cute. They have good staff to maintain the cafe very well. Appreciated that. Getting into the food we ordered raspberry mousse cake and Korean cream cheese bun. Both were delicious. I wish this cafe to open more branches in the upcoming years. Please do visit this place to give different taste to your taste buds. Highly recommend to try this place.

This cafe is literally tucked away from all the hustle and bustle and is located on a quiet street. The place is quite tiny, we were lucky to have the whole place to ourselves on a Wednesday afternoon, menu is very limited, but the staff also let us know that they had handcut pastas and we went for the red sauce handcut pasta, the taste was amazing, the sourdough bread was a bit too hard to bite but nonetheless was nice. Price is surely on a higher side for the portion size. I also packed their triple chocolate cake and it was absolutely smacking ! Service is great !

This place is a hidden gem. So green with a french vibe. We went for a Sunday breakfast on a drizzly day and it was a perfect start to the day. We order pancakes, sashulka, butter croissant and filter coffee and everything was so delicious. It is hard to find a perfectly made french breakfast in Chennai but this place served everything as it should be. The staff is so humble. When I was about to order both pancakes and french toast together, the staff suggested me to have one first. And it was a huge plate, if they wouldn’t have suggested me. I will definitely end up wasting food. Love this place. Highly recommended. So well maintained.

Located inside a corner, this cafe isn’t easy to identify. The ambience is average which could only serve 10 people at a time. The food was good especially the pastries. But cost of all were on the higher sides. The taste was good but the price wasn’t worth it. Overall this cafe can be tried once.

Homely feel ambience. A old house in renovated in the first floor of this building for this Cafe. I mainly went for their Tiramisu, which was nice and tasty. Apart from that their hot chocolate was outstanding, very thick and consistent ( would recommend to share with someone as it is an Sugar bomb ). Apart from this we friends tried bombilini, latte and cookies. All put together we paid 1000 bucks. The space is quite small with limited seats which may be occupied on weekend evenings.
