The card, page by page
Every item and every price below is transcribed from Katha Kavana’s own three printed cards. The section names are the card’s; the three chapter headings are ours, because the card has no breakfast, lunch or dinner headings of its own.
No meat, no fish
Nothing on the card contains meat or fish. Egg does appear — in the omelettes, the french toasts, the pancakes, the ramen with egg and one of the salads.
That button opens the venue’s Zomato ordering page. Katha Kavana runs no ordering system of its own.
Espresso, five pour-over methods, and the cold half of the card.
The early end of the card. Served all day — the kitchen publishes no cut-off.
Soups through to the main course.
A note on the sweet things
A chilled case of cakes and slices sits by the counter. It is not on the printed card and it changes — ask at the till for what is in it today.
Where these prices come from
These three scans are the cards themselves. If a price here disagrees with one you are shown at the table, the table wins — printed cards get reprinted.
