5Aswathi Chandran

I love the bookstore and it's vibe. Went multiple times to buy books and authors events. Staffs are so friendly and welcoming. We should buy book from bookstore more than from online because this is where we meet authors get curated book as per our taste where the commubith events are organised.

A lovely historical bookstore in a prime location that is well maintained and a pleasure to browse. It has a large collection of books, with kids’ books neatly arranged on the first floor. They also stock some games, toys, and stationery items. There is a flat 10% discount on all books, which is a nice bonus. The staff even gifted a small plush toy to my daughter, which completely made her day. Restroom is usually locked but can be used on request. Limited parking is available in front, enough for around 6 to 7 cars. A warm, old-school bookstore experience that still gets the little details right.

5Chai Kings

We at Chai Kings were delighted to provide tea and snacks catering for a book launch event at Higginbothams, Chennai. The event went really well, with guests enjoying freshly brewed chai and a variety of snacks. The setup and service were smooth, and the warm chai added to the overall experience of the launch. It was a pleasure being part of a literary event at such an iconic venue. We look forward to offering our tea catering service for more book launches and events in Chennai. Book title: What We Don’t Say Out Loud Book author: Cindhu Menaka Chief guests: Actor Karthik, Director Vasanth, and Dr Sudha Sesayyan
