Both Parasurama Easwara Temple and The Old Potion House are recommended for visiting. Italian cuisine is to the pleasure of all guests here. You can always degust perfectly cooked butter chicken, vegetable pizza and cheese balls - a special offer of this cafe. It's time to try good brownies, cheesecakes and ice cream. Based on the guests' opinions, waiters offer delicious beer. The Old Potion House serves great coffee.

The Old potion house Misses the Magic – A Personal Review I recently visited a Harry Potter-themed Old potion house café in July 2025, drawn in by the buzz it had received from bloggers and influencers. But from the moment I stepped in, the ambience didn’t quite live up to the advertised charm. While there were a few scattered elements inspired by the Harry Potter universe, the overall atmosphere felt rather ordinary. The space lacked the rustic, magical feel one would expect and seemed to be struggling with maintenance issues. As I was on a solo food date, I decided to try their Peri Peri Chicken Pizza and a drink called Blue Bliss (essentially a Blue Curacao Mojito). Unfortunately, both items were underwhelming. The pizza, priced at ₹550, lacked any standout flavour and felt quite bland — not something I’d associate with the price tag. The drink tasted exactly like something you could grab at a regular street-side café, nothing special or exclusive to the theme. I must mention that I didn’t try their signature Butterbeer, so perhaps that’s where the magic hides — but from my solo experience, both the food and ambience didn’t feel worth the price. Of course, this is a subjective review based solely on my personal visit and preferences. Others might enjoy the place differently, especially if visiting in groups or for the novelty of the theme. But for me, the experience didn’t quite cast the spell I was hoping for. Price per person: ₹600–800 Food: 2 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 2

This Old Portion house resturant is creating a very high noise level by installing a duct motor in behind the restuatant which is too much nuisance for the residence near by. Also the duct produced carbon monoixde from their kitchen. The duct motor run from 10 am to 10 pm non-stop
