Burrp LogoSo, well, I’ve been to all the Taj properties in Mumbai and this one too, but never bothered to try out the Deli here. Finally did a working lunch here, and found out how the standards do not match Taj anywhere else.
The nice tucked away location which many people don’t know about, gets you interested. you do have a choice of being seated inside or outside, and outside it is for us. The Waiter takes an amusing amount of time to come and take an order, and then acts fidgety as if not knowing what to do next there
Over to the food. They do know how to make very good Orange Juice, fresh and not canned! They also know how to make good scrambled eggs I say. So much for breakfast. At Lunchtime, we went about with some Pasta . My regular Arabiatta sauce in Penne Pasta with Ham. Tasted lovely here :) They’d of course made a liberal helping of herbs in it.
I say I like the place, except that the service is not Taj quality. Just putting up a few people in waistband coats does not make them Taj hospitality. They got to be much better than that! Hence, I take back 1 star and give them just 3 on 5!!

So, well, I was planning a coffee with a friend and we landed up at “United Coffee House” which is a full fledged Restaurant in the heart of CP. The place has a wonderful old world charm about it and plays songs from the 90s mostly, when i was a teenager and used to love Backstreet Boys and ricky Martin! The patrons were however families and usually on theother side of 35-40 it seems, as we found quite some senior citizens there !!!

So now to the grub. We wanted to call for some Alcohol and a plate of starters. They seemed to have a varied and long list of Wines, some which I had never even heard of. However my friend did inform me that the wines were good! I wanted to call for a beer, and they did not have a wide variety of beer though. They had a draught beer called Golden Eagle from the yesteryears! And for pints, they only had Heineken I guess, and Tiger. So Tiger beer was called for! Peanuts were served free of cost.

Next up, Grub included a Non Veg Kebab Platter which was big and huge! ;) the same was difficult to finish between the both of us :)

The waiters were nice to us, and had a courteous look about them. The place believes in a Candle Light concept still, and they dimmed the lights and brought about candles at 7 pm I guess :) If you wanna go out for a nice romantic dinner, then this is the place to be!

Enjoy your time at United Coffee House !!!

Ok, well, I have been a fan of the Mumbai outlets for a very very long time. And I knew they opened up in Bengaluru, but I was surprised to find them in Gurgaon :) I was catching up with a friend after a very long time in Gurgaon, and it was an apt place to look out for to settle in, have an experiential meal and chatter up!

The location was slightly hard to find, because it is not on the main Mehrauli Gurgaon Road and tucked away into a sidelane without any markers on the main road directing […] Continue Reading…

I am at least a regular at the Mumbai and Delhi airports by virtue of travelling between these 2 locations or travelling to other locations from these bases. The privatisation of both the Airports happened about the same time(till a few years ago, these busiest airports of India were run by the Airports Authority of India, a government body). And then i heaved a sigh of relief, that at least the long hours i spend at these 2 airports will now be well serviced.

Too bad then,some hopes have been dashed. i guess the mumbai airport developers have done a […] Continue Reading…
