Italian cuisine is well-cooked at this restaurant. Getafix Cafe is well known for its great service and friendly staff, that is always ready to help you. Based on the visitors' feedback on Google, this place deserved 4.3.
Summers are a pain in the butt in Gurgaon, and global warming (yes, it exists — unlike make-believe things such as the Yeti, Bigfoot, or the G-spot, which I’ve pretended doesn’t exist just to avoid confronting my own incompetence) doesn’t make it any easier to go out. So, if I’m going to step out and feel my face melt, it better be worth it. Getafix Café is worth it. I stumbled upon this gem years ago. It’s like the spectacled, freckled supporting actor in a movie who gets ignored until the lead ages and realises that what really matters lies beyond frills and fleeting thrills. Getafix shines by offering actual good food and consistent service. They survived the rough COVID stretch and have managed to offer something rare in Gurgaon’s ever-changing landscape: stability. Gurgaon has morphed into a money-mooching circus where even basic courtesy feels like a luxury. Just like women fighting for equal rights (yes, feminism is real — and I believe in it, unlike the G-spot), getting decent service in a restaurant feels oddly refreshing. Here’s something that sounds small but matters — they bring you water. Every. Single. Time. That’s been tested on at least five separate visits. Unlike other places where I have to stare down the staff until someone notices me dying of thirst and decides I’ve earned a sip, Getafix just gets it. That alone puts them in the top 20% of cafés in Gurgaon. The drinks are okay. The coffee needs work — I usually order their Skinny Cold Coffee, but the coffee-to-milk ratio is a mystery every time. And as a coffee connoisseur (connoisseur ki spelling theek hai na?), I can tell. But the food — oh, the food — is lipsmackingly good. I’m not kidding. I kissed the chef. That’s how literal I got with “lipsmacking”! We’ve tried the Chef’s Special Salad, the Japanese Soba Noodles, and the Chicken Cordon Bleu — all were scrumptious. Because this review is anonymous, and anonymity makes me bolder than usual, I’ll confess: at one point, some of the peanut sauce fell on my shirt, and yes I slurped it. It was that good. Every dish feels like it has intent behind it. They don’t just write fancy descriptions and toss ingredients around in chaos. Their Chicken Cordon Bleu — pictured in the attachments — was the best breast I’ve ever had. And you know I’m a playa. So that’s saying something. (If we’re counting my own two, it’s rank 1 among 3) The chicken is stuffed with mozzarella that stretches more than Baba Ramdev (whom I hate, but that rant’s for another review). It’s also packed with veggies, and the Florentine sauce with grilled vegetables brings both crunch and juice. Definitely worth ordering. All in all, this is my go-to for a no-nonsense, good-value meal. The prices are weird though — like they let a random number generator set them. I’ve never seen so many oddly specific numbers at a single café. Try them out. Just like me, they deserve more love.

Hi Dan, This review had us chuckling, blushing, and feeling strangely inspired to hug our chef (with consent, of course). Thank you for such a wonderfully honest, witty, and wildly entertaining write-up. You’ve nailed everything from the pain of stepping out in Gurgaon heat to the underrated joy of being served water without asking. We’re thrilled you enjoy the food, especially the Chicken Cordon Bleu, which now has performance anxiety after reading your glowing praise. And yes, we admit: our coffee can be a bit of a mood sometimes. We’re actively working on tightening up the coffee-to-milk ratio and giving our baristas a little “tough love” (read: more training, fewer existential crises). Thank you for being a loyal customer and for reminding us that in a world of fleeting thrills, consistency and care still matter. Next time you're in, coffee's on us, hopefully brewed just right. Cheers, Team Getafix
