For a neighbourhood known for its decades-old favourites like Ovenfresh or even the long-standing CCD and Barista culture, any new entrant to Shivaji Park's F&B scene is hard to miss. While that may not be true of the non-descript Café Curious, which is tucked away on the ground floor of a residential building on Cadell Road, it does call for a visit. With motifs of headphones, a cassette player and lines like "Pause hunger, play food" scrawled across the walls, it's not difficult to guess the theme of this 10-seater, which is unusually empty for a Saturday afternoon.
