Busy SEASON

Thanks to the Routard-Guide-Book entrance its really a busy season, although there are less tourists in Mamallapuram this year.
Ramesh and Baskar are the two fulltime-cooks of the season, accompanied with Alex and Muthu in the kitchen. Sometimes they find a minute to serve a original Thali on a banana leaf to guests with this special request.

... and Mani rarely sits on the steps, waiting for guests. Due to the increased request he put is one more table into the room.









While Suman sells successfully hammocks in many different colors to his customers ...

Mamallapuram Dance Festival 2009/2010

2nd Year of the Gecko Cafe successfully finished

Today is our 2nd Birthday. Two years ago we started downstairs with only a few tables but much passion. So many things have happened until now. We want to thank all our friends and supporting people as well as our faithful guests for a great time and we promise to keep on doing our work with heart and soul, as it is in the character of the Gecko Cafe anyways.
