Indian Coffee House
(Maveli Cafe; Central Station Rd; snacks ?10-45; 7am-11pm)
The Central Station Rd branch of Indi-
an Coffee House serves its strong coffee and snacks in a crazy red-brick tower that looks
like a cross between a lighthouse and a pigeon coop, and has a spiralling interior lined
with concrete benches and tables. You have to admire the hard-working waiters. There's
another, more run-of-the-mill branch near the zoo.
