It began quietly, inside the garden of InDa Hotel - just a few tables, some friends, and the idea of creating something honest, simple, and full of life. There was no grand plan, only a wish to make food that felt real and a space that felt like home.

Over time, the café grew, as the garden around it did - naturally, without hurry. The rhythm stayed easy: slow mornings with coffee and sunlight, afternoons that drifted by, dinners shared under the trees. The kitchen never changed its way - fresh, local ingredients, cooked with care, served without show. Smoothie bowls, handmade pasta, pizzas from the oven - food that comforts without trying to impress.

Today, it’s still the same place at heart. A small, green corner where good design meets calm energy, and where every meal carries a bit of the warmth it was built with.

The space stays true to its name - mellow in every way. Open-air seating, warm light, and the easy rhythm of Varkala’s coast make it a place that feels good to be in. Nothing rushed, nothing forced - just good food, calm energy, and the simple pleasure of being here.

There’s something for every taste and time of day - from golden French toast with coffee to our special oats and smoothie bowls, creamy mac ’n’ cheese, and the signature chicken Kyiv. Whether you’re craving something light, hearty, or sweet, each dish is prepared with care and meant to be enjoyed slowly.

And while everything outside moves fast — surfers heading to the waves, temple visitors passing by, the buzz of the auto stand — here, time slows down. Mellow Bistro becomes your own little corner to pause, breathe, and quietly watch Varkala life flow by.
