Good :)
This place is too good for people who want to while away the time not bothering too much on the mosquito bites. Avoid sitting outside after 6PM, it'll be haunted by mosquitoes...
you get great flavours of hookas, but the flavour fades away very soon.

Not that bad
When I first entered the Mocha here, I was a bit astounded, it was clean! Yes, I can hear the harrumphs and the throats of other Chennai burrpers clearing and the brick bats being readied, but compared to the Bandra Mocha (ever been there around 9 PM on saturday), this place is clean.
Yes, it has the usual problems that all Mochas (with the exception of the Koramangala one) have and that is the worst service in the history of cafes in India. It also seems to have fallen into a stage of deterioration (as pointed out in sansmerci's review), but it still is better compared to Amethyst as far as I am concerned.
The food is still my favourite in Chennai and my staples here include their Chai Latte and the Ferrero-Rocher Shake for drinks, their maggi noodles with cheese and cream and the mediterranean panino for bites and their chocolate avalanche is the ultimate dessert I have tasted anywhere - ever.
And did I mention that I love their music - but they are getting rather loud these days :(

Lost in the game
Mocha opened up with a high profile, you wouldnt find a place to sit on weekends. Even today it is a fav of the teens, if you wanna c some school kids and listen to some teen pop.. u can hang out here.. but otherwise the service has broght the place down .. nah really really down!
Mocha has literally started stinking now. There are mosquitoes everywhere and the chairs and deewans are rusted and ugly. The waiters dont even smile at you and wouldnt pay you any attention even if you get up and dance on the table. The hookahs give you nothin but a headache. The 'maggi' noodles is the funniest part of the menu priced at 110/120 bucks, no its still not broght to u in 2 mins. The panini has no stuffing, we used to get better ones at java green. The spanish omelete made an egg-lover like me hate eggs.The drinks are the only thing you can go there for. You will definitely know what frustration is when you get the check!

Shady Place, Sad Service, Decent Food
They might have wanted the place to look like something out of Arabian Nights, but sadly to me it looked like a bordello and a really really cheap one at that.
KKrish was right... the service is appalling... we waited there for half an hour for someone to take our order... finally had to go to the kitchens to place our order.
The Chocolate Avalanche we ordered was good, but the spoons which came along with it literally STANK! We thought for a while and figured it smelt of stale milk.
The food's reputed to be good, but we saw bugs crawling inside the place. That plus the awesome lack of service is enough to put me off the place.
The two stars is just for the Chocolate Avalanche. Nothing else counts
