Masala chai-drizzled French toast, pancakes topped with rose milk, pakora-inspired waffles with mint chutney — these are just some of the mouthwatering (and aesthetically pleasing) brunch dishes you’ll find on the menu at this new fusion restaurant and café in Saddle Ridge. The interior is just as visually striking as the menu, bathed in natural light and styled with velvet blue chairs, wooden tones and gold accented details. Built around its specialty tea, Café Karak welcomes you to “come for the chai, stay for the vibes.”

Its brunch menu is sweet, savoury and everything in between — think waffles and chicken parmigiana, gourmet halloumi grilled cheese with honey mayo or a panna cotta yogurt parfait.
